Today my friend and I (the one with the Corolla) were getting out of clas to go to somewhere in Mass to take pictures for my photography class. We got in my the car (I had the Intrepid today) and I started it up. I went behind the seat to get my camera out. Apparently he either forgot I started it or didn't think I turned the key al; the way because he asked
Him: "Is the car on?"
Me: "yeah" I put it in reverse back out
Him: "Wow, it's really quiet"
Seems every time we go for a ride in it he's more impressed with the car.
So how quiet (GTOs and other loud V8s/purposely loud vehicles need not apply ) or how refined is your vehicle's engine? Like I've said before, for all the problems the 2.7L is known for, it's been a great engine so far to me. It's very smooth and quiet, and it idles at about 800 rpm (I think, I'd have to double check). It does make some pretty nice sounds when you open up the throttle though :AH-HA_wink:
As for the photos, I won't know until I develop them but they should be awesome..we went to a waterfall somewhere past Fitchburg...got some awesome pictures near the base of the falls..plus some cool ice build-up on the nearby rocks.
On a side note he thinks the new Tacoma is ugly and looks like a bug
