The sound of thousands of small explosions accompanied by neck snapping acceleration is my passion.
But, the next generation and the future do not share our passion.

Well said, Jim. I love loud exhaust, tire smoke and the sound of a grumpy V8 as well, but that doesn't mean I can't also like the quiet whoosh of acceleration and the versatile technology of EV's.
There are many people who still prefer to collect and shoot black powder muzzle loaders, but they would be mad if they claimed they are actually better than modern cartridge firing guns. I get (and enjoy) passion and nostalgia, but I flatly reject dogmatism and closed mindedness.
