What we’re not sure of is the message being sent with these “Obama Can’t Gymkhana” stickers that are being circulated at redneck speed freak events.

Here is a cool thread for the Focus since the Fiesta is taking it's place:

Well, at least there is a picture of a car.

Why is it nonsense more than chocolate covered bacon? Give it a rest. This isn't conservative or liberal, its funny and it becomes motorsports news when the FIA bans it. You took the bait. I'm disappointed.

I don't get it?
It's unfunny and it rhymes at least-- why ban it?

Yo llama can't Gymkhana!
Ken Block can't gymkhana either-- Foust beat him on his own course WITH a penalty.

Re: The FIA thought this was too political for WRC
Cool, we have some of those stickers from the gymkhana grid tryouts. 

Re: The FIA thought this was too political for WRC
Well apparently Ken Block can't either, he lost at his own event.
^Just saw Palero's post.
I should make bumper sticker that says: "Ken Block can't drive without 500 takes"
