I'm not a car guy by any means. I'm seriously considering replacing my car with an electric bike just because I'm so cheap and cars are generally a pain in the ass to own.

I'm also sensitive to loud noises and I hate it when someone rev's their engine or blasts the full bass stereo in my neighborhood. So, I get what you're saying.

However, back in the day I had a Mercury Cougar and I loved the sound of that thing. The growl it made without even pressing the gas was oddly satisfying. I can understand the appeal of loud bikes and cars even though I don't appreciate when they overdo it.
