Not a house but Nux doesn't care enough to correct, his nerves vibrating just like the seat he sits on, the car they're in as he revs it hard, makes it rumble. It's a fine beast for how sleek and pristine it is, this engine, and Nux knows he can push it to its limit.

"-- And so smooth!" Shouting over the roar of one-sixty-miles-per-hour.
