Pfffftttt. When does the madness end? At least we don't have to worry about making our trucks a little louder. Unless someone enacts a bill for deaf people.

Nice - I'll bet a Prius with straight pipes would sound terriffic...

I's sure those who drive these won't apprecaite it at all. Would you like a car that "rings" (like those stoplights) all the time?

Just make sure your truck is loud enough that it makes people vibrate as you drive along. This will help both the blind and the deaf.

Those people with hybrids should have to put baseball cards in their spokes, like they did with their tricycles.

"It seems to me that if we can put audible signals on walk signs for the blind, then we can put an audible signal on a hybrid," Ditlow said.
That actually could be pretty annoying, to have cars driving by going "eeep, eeep, eeep" all the time...

If a strait pipe ROARED in the woods, did anyone hear it?
