Default Car's you wish didn't drive past your house...

There are 2 cars that every morning, go racing through my housing track. One is a beat up Accord with the loudest riciest exhaust you have ever heard. The other is an old muscle car with no muffler at all. They drive like crazy and wake up the whole neighborhood. Annoying as sh*t!

I hate inconsiderate people, and loud exhausts (especially on cars that make sh*t power). Which is why I'm still on stock mufflers despite heavy engine mods

I try not to be that guy...

I inherited a fart can you can fit a baked bean can up, and keep it muzzled between 22:00 and 8:30 or so, unless I'm on the highway and there's noise barriers.

I don't mind any car except for the shady cars playing rap with body panels vibrating the whole neighborhood.

^This. I really don't mind loud exhausts but when your bass shakes the windows in my house, it is just too much. I don't see how the drivers can stand it, unless they tried it once, became almost deaf and now have to have it up that loud to hear it.

All the Harleys with their loud ass pipes who have to keep reving at the stop sign, then go full throttle for 2 gears only to stop a few hundred feet later at the next stop sign. LOUD PIPES DO NOT SAVE LIVES!!! (see doppler effect). Also all the broke ass sons of b*tches whom decide not to fix their exhaust on everything from an Escort to the Powerstroke Ford.

Loud pipes do save lives. They're not traveling faster than sound, mate!
