Dennis, good luck!

Hmmm, bet you are right, as perked up when she heard a Subaru wasserboxer
start up a few years ago in front of a class I was at. Though, you all 
bring up an interesting point; what makes the boxer engine a unique 
sound? More than valves, as the Volvo has them (something is clanking
despite hydraulic valves) and the Mercedes is solid. 

Also, an added factor is the sunroof in both the Volkswagen and the Mercedes. 
In the latter, it has a center armrest which she stands on so she can have 
hear head out the sunroof. Must look odd seeing a dog head sticking up! l.o.l.
Only issue is the slobber sometimes gets on the glasses.

So in short, boxer engines have advantages over other formats, one of which is
a pleasing sound even without a muffler. 


Thank you!
Adriel
