Actually the term "Motor Mouth" has more than one meaning. The sound effect 
is actually created be a human voice in a sound booth.  Young boys (before 
they can even reach the pedals) spend countless hours sitting in their 
fathers car perfecting the variable sound of a motor. Young men reaching 
puberty are actually the most sought after for this sound effect.  They are 
not driving yet and have not lost this skill.  At the same time their voice 
has lowered and they can effectively simulate the sound of a V-8 engine. :-)

But, if you don't believe that..., Buck works as a sound recorder, and 
hopefully he will chime in.
