I think that's "sound" advise, Klayfish. When I first got my car, I thought it was loud, but after learning how to drive it, and in what gear to idle through neighborhoods, it has not been a problem.
I have this car and a Harley, and am surrounded by neighbors with small children, so, when I fire one up, they just look to see which it is.
It brings grins to the faces of all the guys! Most women (including my wife), do not understand WHY either vehicle has to be that loud, but I think that is just the genetic difference between most women and men
