I'm offended by the sub-message/tagline we're using. Formula SAE? I didn't see one for Baja SAE. Is it because a lot of us run CVTs and not your patriarchal semi-manual motorcycle gearboxes? Or the fact that we use 14.5 lbf spec OHV Briggs and Stratton motors from power washers out of solidarity for the schools too broke to buy cast-off Honda CBF600 motors out of junkyards? CHECK YOUR PRIVILIGE, SHIFTLORDS.

As a student racing warrior I'm like so offended right now. And I'm not going to tell you why because it's not my job to. So use telekinesis and shit. Because MAH FEELS hurt and I can't see a doctor. Because patriarchy. And autism. And Sherlock. And all the XE people who come standard with power mirrors, tilt steering wheel, and a 5-speed manual transmission.

Note: This is a joke. It's not to be taken seriously. It's a parody of tumblr self-righteousness. I've also been consuming quite a bit of cheap gin and Costco orange juice in my spare time. Not an excuse, just wanted to recommend against a 1:1 ratio unless fast drunken-ness is desired.

Better?

Edit to provide context: The original Tagline was something about Michigan FSAE, it was then changed to "Your home for Racism, Discrimination, and Other Baseless Accusations." and then changed to what it is now... or what it was when I wrote this.

Temporal descriptions are weird.

Better. Now let's go see how quickly the rest of the Gawker family starts frothing at the mouth.

Yeah... probably shouldn't keep that there... =)
