 Holy shit, were scared now!  This has got to be where our sparkling senses of 
humor come into play.  Flounder, Spike and I gratefully acknowledge you're 
amazing powers of observation.

Oh, as you see, you have little choice when it comes to nicknames.

And, from what I've seen of the better halves of your crew, there's more
names on the way...

racing/sports cars were built to be enjoyed and driven. To us at Southwind,
it is worth the risk of involuntary loss (mecha!

gawk but to learn, by all means take a look.
