General Car Conversation 2025 - Part 1
I only want to hear the sound of the engine when I step on it, when Im cruising I don't. That's what I loved about my IS350 (after installing the F-Sport intake), throaty roar at full throttle, ran at a quiet 2000ish rpm at 75 mph.
Call me a grumpy old man, no resonators, no want it

I only want to hear the exhaust when I step hard on the gas.
The rest of the time shhhh, be quiet.
Now for Harleys, that's a different story.
I loved my straight pipes.

Ceramic coatings are great but they aren’t necessary. If you clean your cars regularly they always just very easily clean off.
I didn’t do a ceramic coating on my S580 or the Pacifica. I clean them so regularly and use ceramic spray products after every wash and they shed water and all similarly without one.

I do like to hear rev matching downshifts in certain cars of course.
Haven’t opted into ceramic coating yet.
I’ve been so back and forth between catless and catted. Out of all people, an EV owner helped me finalize my decision to go catted. I would’ve hated the smell of catless especially with this car being a daily (in good weather) and the take the Mrs. to lunch ride.
Looks like I need ceramic coating.

I've always been particular about cars being too loud at cruising speeds, even as a teen. I absolutely hated cars with rough idle, my first car was a beat up VW Rabbit, I used to constantly play around with the carburetor to get it smooth, and was always spraying Gunk out carb spray to try and keep it clean. I must of killed lots of brain cells spraying that stuff 


Loudest car I ever drove was a 2017 Lamborghini Huracan I rented in Dubai. Almost crashed it, after that I drove it like a grandma 😂
No sir. If I did, my mistake. Every vehicle has CarPlay🙃 including the Prius. Prius even has a 10 inch kicker sub. 😆
Every vehicle except the Prius and my tundra (for now) has PPF. Tundra has a lot of “old man chrome” on the front end.
Farm trucks, no PPF obviously.

Oh ok, I misunderstood lol! You said you had CP on all the cars and that's a brand of ceramic haha

I was in Dubai for a friend's wedding in 2017. Two of us decided to rent a Huracan for a couple of days. Was heading into a left turn, and gave it to much throttle and the wheels broke traction and lost control briefly and went into the opposing lane. Luckily we weren't in the city where 100 percent I would have plowed into other cars because they have a lot of traffic. Scared the crap out of me and my passenger, probably would have ended up behind bars because they are strict with foreigners.

Go to foreign country, rent exotic car, and drive crazy.
I'll go ahead and put that on my list of things to never do. Lol
You are a wild man @AMIRZA786 . Haha
