Also considering a lot of guys run high mileage cars, IMO it's always better to hear the car especially if it has high miles.
Ideally, I'd like to be able to roll like you. I like the idea of the simple elegance of having nothing but the absolute essentials in the vehicle. Issue is I like to listen to podcasts and am sometimes on the phone (with Bluetooth headset, legally, of course), so having a reasonably quiet car is important to me.
