It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

If they are built to spec, then it should be trivial for the manufacturers to make a legal version for those who want one, no? They could still keep selling the other version too, it would literally be the same vehicle after all, one would just have the required papers.
