Hooniverse Asks- Do You Really Care How Many Cylinders Your Car Has?
/

/
I have a buddy – he goes by the name of DamnElantra about these parts – and his car lacks any audio or video accouterments, preferring to pair his driving adventures with the dulcet tones emanating from his Hyundai’s exhaust, rather than from something bought at Crutchfield.
