they ran out of KY and it makes their asses feel better.

R is a trim model, just like DX, SI, EX, LX, etc...

R is the race tuned version typically.

if you buy a sticker for your car chances are it never was an R.

Yes they do, because they rice boys.

If you see those stickers on a car that didn't come with them stock it means the car is actually slower than stock because it's owned by an idiot.
