    Ahhhhhhh. The Nobel. More than 600 horsepower. Super chassis. Super communicative fun. I drove one last month.... in the rain, in England. Brilliant.

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
