I could probably live with that. ;)
Plus, the car doesn't seem to be that loud once it's rolling. Apparently the owner already put over 13000 miles on the car going back and forth between Vegas and LA. And IIRC he's only got it a couple of months ago.

Oh boy, the Europeans are going to eviscerate us Americans for those two.

/Don't care
 
God, I love that "man of constant sorrow" song...Probably only because it was featured in the oh so very good George Clooney Movie "Oh brother, where art though", but anyway...cool song

The second one really is way too american in my eyes...

Btw...what does "Oh brother, where art though" actually mean?

Well, the actually phrase is just something like "where are you" but the movie itself has a deeper meaning.

Based on the "Odyssey" by Homer
The titles acknowledge the work is, "Based upon Homer's Odyssey." In interviews, the Coen brothers say that they never actually read the Odyssey, but the film patterns many of its characters and situations upon that ancient work (see below). The Coens claim to having gleaned most of the incidental details of Homer's epic from the 1955 filmed adaptation (Ulysses), starring Kirk Douglas.

Episodes in the film somewhat resemble the Odyssey. Everett tends to come off much worse than his mythical counterpart Odysseus. A viewer familiar with the Odyssey may often expect the hero to triumph. Typically, this does not happen, although things turn out all right later, partly because the hero is so irrepressible, partly by sheer luck. Among the similarities:

The Cyclops and The KKK
A rival for his wife Penelope (Penny, played by Holly Hunter).
Disguises
Cockiness/Hubris
"Sing to me of the man, Muse... ", the line at the beginning of the film, is the first line of the Odyssey.
Ulysses is the Roman name of Odysseus.
A merciless sheriff wanting to lynch him, perhaps analogous to Poseidon in the story of the Odyssey, but also alluded to as Satan throughout the film; this is strengthened by the presence of a hunting dog, which echoes Cerberus as well as the common mythological Hellhounds. The link between the two (Satan and Poseidon) is made when Ulysses mentions that Satan carries "a giant hay fork" (a trident); both figures are often depicted with just such an instrument. Perhaps in relation to this, he also bears an uncanny resemblance to Boss Godfrey from Cool Hand Luke. Near the end of the movie, he states "The law is a human institution," suggesting that the sheriff is not human at all. He is always shown with fire reflected in his sunglasses, giving him a supernatural aura. All of the sheriff's paralleled characters embody an antagonist in possession of some degree of supernatural characteristics.[citation needed] Blues musician Tommy Johnson, who has reportedly seen Satan, describes him as 'white as a ghost, with hollow eyes and a mean ole dog' - the hollow eyes likely referring to the sheriff's dark glasses.
The travelers' siege in the Hogwallop barn alludes to Odysseus's dangerous course between Scylla and Charybdis when Ulysses helplessly cries "Damn! We're in a tight spot!" several times.
A trance-like progression of worshippers seeking to be baptised. Their glassy eyed placidity draws a parallel with the Lotus-Eaters of the Odyssey.
Immediately after Delmar is baptized, he proclaims he will only follow "the straight and narrow from here on out." This may be an allusion to the crew of Ulysses no longer wanting to continue on their quest after an encounter with the Lotus-Eaters.
Sirens, who lure the hero with their singing, and treat him to corn liquor until he passes out. The sirens also have an element of the sorceress Circe by appearing to transform one of his companions into an animal. They also echo Odysseus's meeting with the princess Nausicaa, who along with two maidens washes clothes, bathes, and sings enchantingly in a river while Odysseus sleeps nearby; Odysseus wakens and sweet-talks Nausicaa more successfully than Everett's attempt ("You ladies are about the three prettiest water lilies....").
As Odysseus visits Aeolus on the floating island of Aeolia, Everett visits the radio station WEZY. He and his friends scam the blind proprietor of the radio station (Stephen Root), and record what will become their hit song and eventual salvation, but only after several misadventures; likewise, Odysseus and his crew convince Aeolus to bind all the winds except the winds to bring them home, so that they will have a straight shot to Ithaca, however upon sighting Ithaca the crew becomes so excited they release the other winds, and the ship is dashed away from the island, only to return again after several years and similar misadventures.
Pappy O'Daniel's first name, Menelaus, is the name of the king of Sparta who fought alongside Odysseus.
The scene in the theater, when Pete tries to warn Ulysses and Delmar, parallels Odysseus' descent into the underworld. Delmar, believing that Pete had died, mistakes him (and thus also the other people in the theater) for a ghost. In this scene Pete parallels Tiresias in the underworld.
The challenger in the governor's race is named "Homer" Stokes (his first name is the same as the author of the Odyssey).
At one point George Nelson shoots at a herd of cattle. This may be a reference to a scene in the book where Odysseus and his fellow travelers slaughter the cows of the sun god Helios. As Ulysses warns his men against killing the sacred oxen of the sun for food, Delmar warns Nelson, "Oh, George, not the livestock!" In addition to this, in the Odyssey, Oddysseus' ship is struck by a thunderbolt ? killing all but our hero. In O Brother, George is executed in the electric chair, and during the parade to the execution, someone leading a cow behind the mob yells, "Cow killer!!!"
In the movie, Ulysses, Pete, and Delmar float on a coffin after the area his home was in is flooded. In the original Odyssey, Odysseus sails on a raft for 17 days before it is destroyed by Poseidon.
When we see Pappy O'Daniel discussing the upcoming campaign in the restaurant, over his shoulder you can see a bust of Homer.
