I just had a funny old dude flash back. My truck 35 years ago had a mid engine Buick 401 with the carb right between the bucket seats. It did NOT look like this on the outside and when I would open the hood and you could see the ground below the axle at the bottom the engine compartment I got some damn funny looks.

Anyway, once I was pulling into a parking spot at a little drive-inn diner car show and a guy standing next to the hood was starring at me and asked if it was electric because he couldn't hear the motor.
