    It’s not just men but women as well. My gf’s sister had a friend that discussed how she would make her car really loud and stuff at a birthday party.

    She just kept talking and going into detail about exactly what she will modify.

    It took quite a bit of restraint to not slap her and tell her to be a decent human being and just use a normal fucking exhaust.

    In my country the loud cars are not so much that problem, but motorbikes. I fucking hate loud motorbikes. It is like 130 dB or more.

      But they need their bike to be loud so other drivers can hear them as they illegally pass, lane split, weave through traffic, and overall be a menace on the roadway.

          I honestly just assumed I upset bike riders who do view their noise as a safety net, which i would argue is mostly a moot point given the sound proofing of modern cars means you don’t hear the bike until it would already be too late anyway.

    Haha it’s funny because his body is the joke.

    Let’s laugh and continue acting like having a smaller sized organ is indicator of anything about a person.

    People will loudly bitch about cars at 3am and then run their lawnmower right by my window for 30 minutes during the day when I’m sleeping. Classic.

      People don’t bitch about cars. They bitch about cars that are needlessly loud. Did your neighbor modify his lawnmower to make more noise for fun? If he did, he’s just as much of an idiot as the guys in loud cars (but I doubt he did).

      Most cities have noise bylaws. Revving an engine at 3am is usually in violation of those laws, running a lawn mower in day time is not. I get that it sucks they are loud and many lawns are useless, but its also much more dangerous to mow in the dark and more people are sleeping at night than in the day time. You also have to make some loud noise with our current standard mowing technology, but the same isn’t true for the cars in question, they are modified intentionally to be much louder.
