When driving over loose gravel or sand....I hear every single grain and pebble clink
against the underside of the car
and I absolutely LOVE it. Have you ever had a car this uninsulated ?? It's things like this that make a truly raw sports car. |

I think it's more the tire than the car but I typically have pretty sporty cars and appropriate tire compound. It's a good feeling until you buy new haha.

By today's standard these cars are indeed "raw". By the standard of even just 20 years ago they are as far from raw as you can get.

When I gutted the rear of my interior the noise of the road got 10x worse. Then when I got the MPSS tires, it got 10x worse again! Those things take the sand and rocks and just pick them up and toss them under the car! I don't mind, I think it's funny

I think its also the metal undertrays that makes the noise louder when things hit it.

I only noticed pebbles etc after getting pilot super sports, which are quite a bit stickier than stock.

It was a hot summer Sunday afternoon, back on the farm, and we were about 13 years old (at that age when the girls were as big or bigger and sometimes as strong) as the boys. We were on the side of the barnyard, during a family gathering and she started picking on me. Yes, SHE started it. So, it turned into a wrestling match and we rolled down into a hog wallow. Needless to say we got quite muddy and since she was losing, she got pissed and stormed up to the picnic area all covered with mud. I jumped into the cow trough and washed off ...... so, when I joined the group, I didn't look too bad. All the parents blamed me for beating up on my female cousin...... Shit! ....... SHE started it ....... humfrz |
