Imagine one day going to an Indy car or Nascar race and just hearing the woosh of tires as they go by. Sad! Save the gasoline engine forever!!

The mythical quiet of EV's is silly when you look at normal cars (yeah race cars are noisy).

I've had diesel pickups sneak up on me. At speed, all I can hear is wind and tire noise unless I gun the engine.
