#soundaktor — Public Fediverse posts

I'm both impressed and slightly unnerved with how quickly I got used to the extra power of the #VW #GolfGTI - within a week of getting it it felt to some extent like "an ordinary #car" from inside during normal driving (unless I put my foot down, when the performance becomes immediately obvious. I suspect this is also why it has the #Soundaktor with artificial engine noise..)

I'm glad I only started #driving in #middleage - as I'm not so tempted to be leadfooted, being aware of the consequences, both #roadsafety related and the #law (#speedlimits are enforced strictly here with #ANPR #cameras, with #fines for more egregious offences proportional to income), but I can see how #carCulture encourages young lads to go faster than they should (sometimes with unfortunate results)
