Load sof otherwise very sensible people I know love it, including Mr Violet and I. We don't know how to drive, know anything about cars, or ever intend to own one.

And envy over the fact that they get to smash stuff up and do things like making real cars radio controlled and crashing them into stuff <I>for a living</I>.
