Today we salute you, Mister Fan-of-a-Driver-Associated-With-Your-Employer's-Rival

Mister Fan-of-a-Driver-Associated-With-Your-Employer's-Rival

You don't let a little thing like your paycheck get in the way of choosing YOUR favorite car

We don't need no bowties

So stay your ground, oh prince of the paradox. Because when it comes to fan support, you're OUR favorite competitor
