That's all very well, but don't forget that Car Wars was also a product of
Steve Jackson Games hence they didn't have to worry too much about offending
another company and losing the right to publish.  Also, because of all the
articles in Autoduel Quarterly magazine, there was already a lot of
background material about the world of Car Wars floating around.
    Aaah... I miss those days of designing compacts fitted with anti-tank
guns. *nostalgic sigh*  (Hmm, I wonder if I could adapt the rules to fit
Hell on Earth.)
