well yeah... uhm.. But I was more-so making an analogy. Maybe as putting pants on backwards was a funny missunderstood fad-- Maybe the misspelling of common words that go on high dollar race cars, is now cool. lol

They made a small mistake and it was funny considering that car probably cost a billion dollars. He wasn't bashing HKS it was just amusing that considering all the attention to detail in the car that they messed up something so silly.

Thinking about what you said about the cars cost, you would think they would check it a little better before putting it on there. I know I would!

obviously not

and to the guy that said machines never make mistakes...next time your computer crashes or your printer jams, come back and tell us about it

but the banner is rather funny...it reminds me of that snickers commercial where the old guy is painting the endzone on the KC Chiefs field...and it reads "CHEFS"

great googly moogly

Maybe they'll sell me it at a highly discounted price. Just in time for Christmas. Wishful thinking. So can you tell which department made up the sticker? You can always tell the marketing departments from the engineers! The person responsible probably takes the bus or train to work. HKS still is a big company.

Yes, the misspelling is funny, and no I didn't notice it until you pointed it out.

However, I would be perfectly happy to drive in an EVO built by HKS with misspelled words on it. With a car like that, who really gives a $hit about spelling?
