Any time I hear a loud bike or car, I just assume the owner is really poor, and can’t afford anything that isn’t falling apart. It’s really sad, honestly. I hope, one day, they get a good deal on something that doesn’t so obviously showcase the things they’re insecure about 😉
Around here, people pay a lot of money to make their cars/trucks/bikes sound loud and shitty. Yeah, you do occasionally see a clapped out beater being loud too, but they are the rare exception now.
Especially with an EV. They’ll say the noise == power, and I’ll be amused as my EV silently and effortlessly leaves them behind.
To me the silence is a big part of it, not just all the low end torque. The silence makes it seem effortless
While I do appreciate the engineering required, the hundreds of moving parts, the exotic alloys and precision machining to have all the parts clattering and clanking to move a car forward …… in the same way I appreciate the engineering of steam engines. Lesly’s get this legacy engineering in the museums and steampunk festivals where it belongs
Your comment is a bit hard to follow, but in my experience, the expensive cars are much louder than the one falling apart.
Right, but I don’t think anything would enrage them more than pity, so that’s what I choose to feel
I think that would enrage them quite a bit.
A bad exhaust can be extremely loud, but while it negatively impacts comfort, noise level, and emissions it doesn’t impact the drivability or safety of the vehicle. So people who struggle to cover the costs of vehicle maintenance will often neglect it.
