I’m not typically one to intentionally offend, but any EV owner that is offended by normal engine noise is a virtue signally tool.

*You watch as Hekotat calmly walks to his car, gets is Sawzall out of the back and proceeds to cut the cat off his car. He then throws the cat and the Sawzall on the ground, gets in, and starts the car up with the straight pipe sound directly from the engine. As he drives away you hear him shout "Fuck you, and I'll do it again"*

You guys do realize the EV owner said nothing, this was the sales guy thinking he's being funny. Jesus christ, calm down.

I recall a while back, there was a mod you could put on a Tesla to give it ICE engine noise and revs.

Borla is developing an exhaust sound system for EV's and includes tail pipes. Why not? A lot of car manufacturers plumb in fake engine noises on ICE cars...might as well cash in.

Tesla drivers are all millionaire liberals, obviously, so Musk needs a "support your local arts" subscription package were you get a trombone player to sit in the backseat on your daily commutes.

Sorry, the Trumpet players are reserved for the "authentic artisanal" car horn package. They go in the passenger seat and upgrading to both packages allow for HOV lane use.

Drove a friends loud corvette the other day and I felt so self conscious about the noise it made even though it sounded awesome... very used to being stealth, haha.

Didnt find my shitbox 3rd backup car yet, took a break for a month while I mess w/ how far I want to modify the mustang.
Decent deals on AWD few and far between and my concern is ice not snow , so I think AWD less important than it was in colorado 10" blizzards.
Like no good priced corolla/civic other common shitboxes, but I've seen a few focus hatchbacks including flex fuel so I can run E85 which is a lot cheaper, and for a shitbox I'm less caring if it eats it up quicker. Red one seems like better deal for miles but I dont think has Flex fuel. Anyone have any focus input other than boring and according to a friend shit transmission (longevity or shift characteristics I;m not sure what he meant) test drove this black one and it at least could get going decent enough I wont want to kill myself getting on the highway.
The only awd I've seen I might consider is this Fusion Titanium with bells and whistles? But I thought I remember hearing about more issues. Many awd options locally are jumping into 18-20 mpg biggish suvs that do nothing for me.
I swear shopping bottom of market used cars is more frazzling not eating a grenade than buying something nice.
