You know, in case anyone gets confused about what they missed. Assuming I didn’t miss anything myself.

You missed one thing. The reason why I had to delete the "I just did" was because Brickset decided to have a lagging fit then and there, which duplicated the comments, and meant I couldn't add the "Drops mic" in the original comment till after it was over. All caught up?
If it's a "Rally Racer", what it doin' on THE ROAD...
Also (and obligatorily), HOW BIG IS SPEED'S FAMILY...:D

Clearly you don't know what a Rally is. They don't just have to be off road, they can be on road too. I have been on multiple so I know what I'm talking about.
So was this Lego trying to take on Matchbox/Hotwheels or something?

More or less.
I didn't mind them (I think I picked up a couple, here and there) but the stickers always turned me off them.
Kinda expected this to have a pullback motor (like the Shell polybags), but no, it doesn't. Missed opportunity.
Other than that a bit weird for a rally car, so low, resulting in such a bad view of the road. Considering rally is all about going way too fast on way too narrow roads, I'd think you'd want to properly see where you're going....or maybe this one just doesn't want too see the tree he's about to crash into?
That the first six or so comments were all metatextual joking about the comments rather than the set I think possibly gives a hint as to how unexciting the set is
I had a hard time recognizing it, so I figured it was most likely a promotional.
Daily miror giveaway. I was right.
It looks a bit unfinished and not as well thought out as mainline tiny turbos, as the front bumper sides would usually gets finished with cheese slopes, and that plate with a grille tile.
Also interesting to see that even promotioal Racers sets had a sticker sheet of their own. I knew that about the Shell ones, but not about promos at this level. It's notable that there seem to be far fewer stickers overall than normal for the theme. They're usually covered head to toe in them! EDIT: there's only 4. The last is on the spoiler.
Disappointed this isn't 1821.

Wow.....that might just be the most misleading name of a Lego set ever.....

Oh yeah, I've been to several rallies myself, and they were all on the road. Not sure if it's really worth blocking all the traffic just so some moron I didn't vote for can grab a mic and spout nonsense about the economy and stuff, but that's just my silly opinion.
That car is zooming

Combined, the stated value of RMotD and RSotD for today is...$10.00. I'm pretty sure the CMF has lost value, but I don't know how much it would have cost, in USD, to get the set when it released.
