Hahahahaha! As 98.2% of us know, long-term decisions are NEVER made when you're young and dumb. I went to so many rock concerts for 15-ish years that I know I must have some hearing loss. Wifey blames her hearing loss on the many shows I took her to. I'mma sure she's right about that.
As far as gas-powered vehicles go, when I had my Road Runner, I actually wanted it to be as quiet and unassuming as possible. BUT, if needed, I could petal-to-the-metal and GOOOOOO! As a former governor of Hawaii used to say, "Quiet but effective." :-"
