" Long before the first generation Prius, there were hybrids that weren&amp;#039;t awful, weren&amp;#039;t the misplaced darlings of Greenpeace, and made lovely noises instead of manufacturer mandated silence. I&amp;#039;m speaking of course, of older cars with modern-ish engines swapped into them. Such hybrids are the basis for Hot Rodding culture and also form the backbone for most of the great cars we still remember today. The AC Ace/Cobra comes to mind. To celebrate these actual hybrids, we&amp;#039;ve got a video from the guys over at Classic Car Club of Manhattan. The car theyhave for the feature is a lovely and lithe BMW 2002 with the go-motion coming from an S14 engine plucked from an E30 M3. They call it an M2, I call it a good idea.  While the car is just muttering about in a lush treescape, the snap, crackle, and whop of that uncorked 4-cylinder is enough to give the best kind of shivers. And the angle almost makes the probably-not-very-green car seem at one with the foliage. De-stress your manufacturer mandated life for a few minutes and just enjoy the sounds from a proper hybrid as it frolics in the forest.      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
