I like to turn down the radio when approaching an on-ramp.

Equally, in sport mode, if you ever get the chance to experience the eastbound Guy Street off-ramp in Montreal, when its not busy.

LOL, I have done that. And that reminds me, the southbound tunnel entrance to get to Logan. What fun.

Boys will always be boys…

Her: "What are we waiting for"?
Me: "I don't put it gear until the revs drop."

Is pulling the #19 fuse still a thing?

Me: "I don't put it gear until the revs drop."

I still don’t think it’s loud enough. (4.2)
But also not throwing a few thousand into exhaust mods. Especially if they change the pitch perfect gurgle.

Change up the cats to 100 or 200 cell. That will entice you to put fuse 19 back.

I look at cats as a maintenance item. To be replaced every 100,000 km or so.

That's the spirit! Changing the words and singing them loudly in the Jag! Guaranteed side-eye!

$3,000 to 6,000 is one hell of a time-change item.
