I don't know what is more shocking... that someone invented this, or that someone will buy it

That is pretty lame! :notnice: A couple of years ago, I remember seeing a company that sold a "simulated" blow-off valve for the ricer that can't afford to actually turbocharge his Civic. :R:

LOL Thats what i was going to invent to put on electric cars so you could ahve a cool exhasut note without the internal combustion engine.

Funny that it simulates screeching tires too..so you could take off near a cop and you would be pulled over for screeching your tires when you didn't... lol

hahaha, "the poser's edge" that's beautiful. Yeah, i've definitely thought about this before, for the future hybrid mustang, or electric mustang, or fuel cell... in like 50 years, the sound of the internal combustion engine will probably be a thing of the past. Hopefully by then, they'll have technology that can let them do a better job of this.

I am stunned almost speechless by the absurdity of this.

The mind boggles.

Don't you feel sorry for poor Alex? I know I do.

That's something that would be pretty humorous to put in a tiny econo-box, as a cheap gag, say $20 or so. But $159? Insane.

And then he looks down at his owners card and remembers that he has to fill up with rice and not premium unleaded.


Pathetic product.

Oh man..if the inventor said "I can't want to make a load off these ricers" then he has my respect. If he said "I can't wait to try this out with my ricer" then he needs a lobotamy

I am going to buy it and have some fun with it...

I am going to make my Mustang sound like a helicopter or a Fighter Jet, or how about a steam powered locomotive?
