Random douchebags roaring through the streets in their modded cars, especially after lights out. Don't even get me started on the folks who do that and crank up their stereos all the way blasting music.
As a random douchebag who cranks their stereo and roars through the street in my modded car, I apologize. I can't help it, I'm 37 but I still love loud music and driving fast.
That said, I'm not an inconsiderate random douchebag; I turn down the subwoofer and stay out of redline in residential areas. I also didn't cheap out on the exhaust. I got me a proper resonated catback, not a $200 fart can that drones on at 95dB even when idling. If you drive normally it purrs softly like a kitty cat. You'll only hear me is I want you to. And once again I apologize for all the random douchebags who do burnouts in cul-de-sacs and crank the shittiest hip hop in existence at 3AM while you try to sleep.
I feel we should be allowed to catch these drivers, strap them to a chair at ear level of their idiotic car and have it run full throttle in their ear until the gas runs out.
That along with obnoxiously loud motorcycles tops the list for me.
Should be confiscated on sight (sound?) and tossed into a portable metal crusher.
