The only thing about me like this is that, in the last couple of years, people driving around with loud obnoxious cars pisses me off. I'd swear it didn't used to. Now, though, when the night outside my house sounds like a motherfucking speedway because some asshole a half-mile or further away is speeding in his shitbox at midnight or later, it does make me wish the cops would get him.

Then there's the assholes (there are at least two, one is a shitbox pickup the other a motorcycle) whose exhausts are so loud that when they drive past my house they set off a neighbor's car alarm. Mind you, the car alarm NEVER goes off otherwise. Until this bullshit started, I didn't even know they had a car alarm at all. The shit is just that fucking loud.

Back in my day (lol, it's true though) we had overpowered subwoofers and skinny kids were actually damaging their lungs with them. I'd still take that over this stupid "My car is loud as fuck but will never be as powerful or as fast as a fucking nazi tesla. Look at me! Look at meeeeee!" bullshit.

Loud bikes are a safety feature in America where theyre practically invisible to drivers.

Extremely loud passing noise is temporary. Lung damage is permanent. I'm not sure what I am trying to say here.

Obviously you're instructing OP to pump chlorine gas into the cabins of loud vehicles.
