Good point. People believed in individual choice back then.

Nailed it on the media pushing electric. Motor Trend, one of the few car magazines left, is pushing electric. Saddens me to thumb through an issue.

Flame my Bullitt Mustang all you wish, guys...however, I love the V-8 rumble I hear when I fire it up. Ford spent some coin to get that sound. Special mufflers and crossover tube on the '08-'09 Bullitt models...trying to achieve the movie soundtrack sound while remaining barely within the DOT decibles limit.

Mine just turned 32,000 on it's odo. I hope it's the last car I buy..

Death before Prius! Death before Electric!

Can't say I agree with this guy's appearance changes to his car, but here's the sound...1:33 video.
