<VV> Stupid humans-No Corvair (unless it's Electrovair or Tim'selectric Rampside)

[Mark Corbin]

Before anyone laughs too hard, there was a piece in the Automotive News in
the last week or two about some government body wanting to require a
certain noise level on cars, because of this kind of possibility. Seems
they want electric cars to have a noise generator on them, or something.
And it wasn't that long ago that they were legislating against cars
(specifically hot rods) being too noisy. I'm with you Lonzo!
