    @Murilee Martin: You wouldn't expect an innocuous post like this to bring out the assholes. On the controversy scale the topic of this post is about a 3 on a scale of 1-10. Yet, you have had to exercise some serious discipline.

    @jodark: Referring to our content as "LAME ASS SHIT" gets a commenter banned right away. They don't have to like our stuff, but they must express their dislike in a less moronic manner.

    There was a BMW ad a few years back that was not visually special, but the backing music was Brian Eno's "The Big Ship" off the Another Green World album.

    @Murilee Martin: I was going to say that it seems to be contagious, and ask you why you didn't include the ad where the Miata rolls over, until I realized that it's the same commenter.

    So, it's not a contagious case of can't-read-itis, but rather a chronic case.

    Americans happen to have the freedom of speech, so, that means we can say whatever we want.

    We don't see any such rules against "trolling" on Jalopnik, have you? Don't think so.

    So, we're afraid you are the one who are trolling for pointing your finger "Troll! Troll! Troll!" So, please, grow up.

    @Theimbellis: Of course you have freedom of speech. For example, you can claim to have bought a Ferrari 250 California for $30k on Craigslist. (You didn't.) You can claim to have friends with Veyrons and Enzos. (You don't.) You can claim that your daily driver is an H1 Hummer. (It isn't.) My guess? What you actually are is a precocious but socially dysfunctional 13-year-old latchkey kid with issues. MAJOR issues. So why don't you go get a juice box and calm down, okay?

    @jaymcminn: It's much simpler than that. My girlfriend was a moderator on (big, conflict-fraught literary forum) for years and years, and she taught me that a savvy admin must ban a commenter the instant that person whines about their alleged "freedom of speech" after trollish behavior; anyone who believes the First Amendment applies to privately-owned online forums has no place in the discussion. She's seen it all, so I take her advice on such things.

    @Theimbellis: You kinda need to know who you are talking to when it comes to blogs and the owners and admins of them. Rule #1 is that a blog isn't America. They don't have to give you a soapbox to voice whatever you want to say. It is their webspace and comment board. You have no right to it. Rule #2 Don't piss off the admins. Murilee is the weekend admin and deals with all kinds of scurilous characters as a Judge of LeMons. He won't take your shit.

    @jaymcminn: Oh man... the horror stories she tells! One big problem was the small-time authors who would sign up for a half-dozen different user accounts and then start long phony "discussions" about their books.

    On the plus side, the flame wars featured good grammar and spelling.

    Turbine cars, and particularly turbine engine swaps/additions, are cool. They're not necessarily cool in the supercar sense, nor in any automotive design convention. They're cool in the same way the Ekranoplan is cool. They're just so...odd. So beautiful. So awesome.

    Ok, here's a thought... buy the car, separate the questionable engine choice and replace it with a normalish engine, 302, 350, or a Viper mill, sell the turbine and maybe have a good fun car with little or no outlay of cash?

    How much does a used turbine sell for?
