i also like my ASS… it doesn’t bother me as much as it bothers others. My other car is a Chevy Volt which has a mind of its own at stoplights. sometimes it is perfectly silent in all electric mode, sometimes it’s wide open throttle (WOT), and sometimes it’s WOT with a sudden stop to all electric.
If you’re on a fixed income, why so many cars? I’m retired with no job income, but my investment income is definitely not fixed, it varies every day depending on the whims of the market (5 figure swings in either direction )
