If I need to read perpendicular traffic or an uncontrolled intersection give me a full-boat hot-rod or a 100" Harley with drag pipes any day. -----Original Message----- From: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bob Kennedy Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 5:18 PM To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Quiet cars. Never did care for a quiet car myself. When I owned a 68 Chevelle it had a 396 with 4 bolt mains. I had to rebuild it soon after I bought it and I threw in the big Vette cam from that time. the 427 435 HP cam. I put on a set of Hookers and had the cherry bomb "mufflers." The first time my now X wife heard it she said there was something wrong because it wouldn't idle right. It idled just fine it was just breathing hard. Guaranty no one from any organization would complain about not hearing it. Maybe not hearing anything else but it would definitely not sneak up on anyone. I used to tell people it could pass anything but a gas station. ----- Original Message ----- From: Larry Stansifer To: blindhandyman@yahoogroups.com Sent: Thursday, February 21, 2008 10:57 AM Subject: RE: [BlindHandyMan] Quiet cars.

Since the issue has come up on this list I will mention the following. apparently, the NFB is proposing legislation to create a standard for minimum noise for automobiles. If you have had an experience with a near miss and a quiet car, they are asking you to send your story to [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is merely informative, I am not a member of either the NFB nor ACB. and, I have personally never had any kind of incident with a quiet car. -- Blue skies.
