or the slight whine from outside as you floor it, if you ask me. It's the sound of progress.

(That said, there was a guy in a v-12 lambo the other day that passed by, revved it to around 8-9000, and dangggggg.)

Also, I'm looking forward to the face clueless mustang owners will make when they turn the car on and find out their speaker is dead
