The Blind and Hybrids

Just another reason to own a Cummins. They are better for the Blind.
I am glad I am doing my part to help out the blind. Dang those quiet hybrids they just aren't safe! Loud pipes save Lives.
They probably take off running when I am a mile away

I have built 3 electric vehicles and it is definitely true that more people(even ones that aren't blind), walk out in front of me. But it is also really fun to silently pull up next to someone and leave in a huge cloud of tire smoke. I happen to believe that it would be really nice if all vehicles became much quieter. It was amazing to discover how loud manual transmissions are when we didn't have any engine noise.
