Wow you can't survive 15 seconds of a Mustang gong by your house? I usually get excited and run to the window when I hear a nice sounding V8 go by. To each his own I guess, have fun living a pissed off life, because if that bothers you enough to write that, then you, my friend, are doomed to misery. There are a lot of things in this world worse than a "punk" driving by in his Stang. I'm sure you've met him and had conversation with him to determine that he is a punk as well.

95% of the time I can't get my horn to work when I want it to anyways. It works, but you've got to have the magic touch.

+1, That's what will be nice about having 2 cars. I've never had them both operative at the same time, but when that day does come it will be marvelous.

Re'

You nailed it. There's no reason to be loud and obnoxious. Loud does not make your car faster.
