I am very excited about a future where there will be almost no petrol engines getting revved at stupid volume levels only because it's "fun".

I hear you - loud cars are annoying, and I probably over-emphasised how loud it was. It's stock exhaust on a subcompact family car, but the cabin isn't the quietest and it has to rev very highly to do anything.

It's my lame safe way of having a little bit of fun. Certainly quieter than all the trucks on the road, and slower than a lot of the SUVs.

Uh revving the Yaris is not something likely to disturb you or even attract your attention

you've clearly never heard a prius with a broken exhaust - they're loud as hell. a modified exhaust on any car is super loud

I couldn’t see where anyone had referred to broken exhausts

Get ready for the insessant sound of squealing tires, sigh.

You can also power better jukeboxes with better car batteries.
