I'm not much of a car guy, and generally speaking I like cars to be quiet.

That said, there are some very wealthy neighborhoods in my area, so I've occasionally found myself sharing the road with Lamborghinis and Ferraris and other ridiculously high-end cars, and I kind of get it. There's something different about the way these kinds of cars sound and it's kind of hard to explain, but unlike every other loud car out there that makes me mad the moment I hear them, these sorts of cars actually sound good, and it definitely has to be part of the experience of owning/driving one, and let's face it, the kinds of rich assholes who buy them are in it 100% for the experience and not because they need a car.
