I remember for one of my first assignments they took me out on the test track in a new truck and stomped the throttle. We went roaring off ("Doowaaaahhh!!") and my boss said "Hear that? You gotta fix that".

"Fix it?" I said; "I LIKE it!!"



Gear whine was another one. Growing up with your parents driving Muncie "Rock Crusher" equipped vehicles will do that to ya.
