My wife wondered why she married me, whether or not I made engine noises.
Now I only do it when alone in the car so my girlfriend won't wonder why
my wife married me.

Way to go, Lotus. I just love the idea of screaming through a peaceful
suburban neighborhood in a 3 cylinder Toysubishonda Commutakazi (at a safe
30 mph) making noises like a Can-Am Camero with a 12:1 rear axle ratio.
