    I have a prediction that ICE vehicles, especially those targeted at men, will get louder in the US in the near future. Much louder. In fact, I think it's already happening.

    Combine the fact EVs took over in speed and acceleration (the top ego marketing tokens) from ICEVs, and the changes in EPA emission rules by the trump govt, you're gonna see the last ego token left (exhaust noise) be pushed beyond anything we've heard before.

    It's gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

    It will likely be the same in other locations, but I think other countries might react quickly enough to put stricter noise emission regulations in place. Maybe. Hopefully.

    @brunoph I wish. The number of assholes with modified loud cars and motorbikes is increasing here in Portugal and as everyone might expect at this point, cops don’t do shit about it, like they never did about illegal parking on the sidewalk. Drivers are free to do as they wish.
