America

Quote:
Stomp on the gas in a new Ford Mustang or F-150 and you’ll hear a meaty, throaty rumble — the same style of roar that Americans have associated with auto power and performance for decades.

It’s a sham. The engine growl in some of America’s best-selling cars and trucks is actually a finely tuned bit of lip-syncing, boosted through special pipes or digitally faked altogether.
Some vehicles actually fake it using the interior speakers hahaha. Your car is 'faking it' for your pleasure. As someone who thinks the quieter the car, the better, I just can't help but laugh at this trend.

What if he is a conscientious person who doesn't believe in being a quitter?
