...Manhattan, Reporter-Researcher Margaret Boeth interviewed " reborn evoked in Greenwich Village - an assignment that evoked memories of her girlhood in Cleveland, Miss. "I haven't seen this kind of hard-rock fundamentalism," she says, "since I used to sit on a ditch bank and watch the traveling, trembling preacher whip up a crowd." When Boeth interviewed Evangelist Arthur Blessitt in New York, she learned that they were from the same part of Mississippi and that Blessitt had once led a congregation in her home town...

As a result, manufacturers of install-it-yourself kits do a booming business in noisemakers. The beetles' mewling toot is replaced by full-throated klaxons that belt out bars of hard-rock music or soar into the oscillating wail of European ambulances. The VW's short-stroke engine remains untouched, but its exhaust is channeled through complicated "extractors" or straight pipe "resonators" that make the humble bug sound like a snarling Ferrari or thundering Offenhauser. A less expensive gimmick...
