Addendum: Rolling Coal should be an immediate bitch slap and some jail time being force fed Vegan meals while blasted with Enya.

I live just off a road that has illegal street racers 3-5 times a week from 11 pm to 2 am. Hard agree.

Of course – fully agreed that something has to be done. Civilized countries, like Netherlands have "sound traps" – if a vehicle is too loud, photo is taken as in speed photo traps, and penalty is sent to the owner. Sadly, I do not live in such a country.

I would also accept rough sphere and pancake as shapes the car could be crushed into.

Modded motorcycles are super common around my region (Brazilian midwest), despite said "EXTRA LOUD" mod being illegal and the bikes being in impounded if they're caught.

Another thing that is even worse are sound cars (shit like in the image below). No idea how often they're a problem in other countries, but here, it's always fucking idiots parading their window-shaking bass in the middle of the night, or creating "parties" in front of liquor stores or friends' houses during the fucking week. These, unlike those bike mods, are not illegal.

IMO behavior like this is a symptom of a larger problem.

I have a car with an aftermarket exhaust and intake. When I test drove it I had the windows down and made sure it wasn't loud. And it isn't, as long as I don't open the throttle up a lot and keep it under 3,500 rpm. My parents were concerned about it until I fired it up and my dad said "Oh, it just sounds like my old MG."

So you don't need to have noise to get a horsepower increase. You just need to do it correctly and think about someone other than yourself.

We left the first red light at the same time. I drove normally, you like an asshole, and we both stopped at the next light all the same.

Ah, but only one of you had any fun.

Your opinion is pretty popular. The unpopular opinion is thinking it's cool to be loud and drive aggressively.

I think California actually has vehicle noise laws for this lol.

tbh the obnoxiously loud cars are people who hacked off their muffler. Even the decats and pop+bang tunes aren't as loud as an uninterrupted stream of sound from the engine.

I like cars and bikes, so I don’t mind some extra noise, but there’s definitely a limit. I’d also say that in any crowded area like a big city neighborhood I’d rather not see any cars, but if they have to be there they should be as quiet as possible.

I used to think loud trucks were cool, and then I turned 8.

Just take their license. People being obnoxious is annoying but no need to waste the car

I hate them, too.

And the ones that sound like an asthmatic box fan about to die are just hilarious. Heard a mustang like that today.

God I hate the stupid loud vehicles. And it almost always sounds like shit too.

Be funny if coal rollers had to strap a giant diaper to the back of their vehicle to identify them, since clearly their lifted douche-wagon struggles with incontinence.

I like aftermarket stereo equipment in a car (mostly just like the feel of bass going through me and sound quality improvements), myself, but I'm not an asshole about it, I just blast music on interstates, and keep it to conversational levels on normal roads. If you can hear it outside the car it's generally too loud anyway.

Motorcycles, dirt bikes, four wheeler shitheads ride downtown (where I live) in my city every weekend. They takeover intersections and rev their engines. We call them "cool guys," because I joked to my partner that they aren't overcompensating for anything; they're obviously super cool, with big dicks, and happy lives.

Sorry, but Tha whistles go WOOO

Agree. I can only hope it gets less common as electric vehicles become more common. Although, I could also see them adding aftermarket noisemakers just to be obnoxious.

Being a bit hyperbolic here: I have to deal with 1000 stupid societal things every day, either directly, as mandated by the legal system, or because of the popularity of religion, etc. I have to drive slow through school zones when the lights are flashing. I have to deal with Trump voters and the last eight years of political drama. I have to deal with teenagers driving wrecklessly down my street because other people feel have the right to breed and disturb my peace 17 years later. I have to listen to the soapbox preachers shouting at me about how I'm going to hell. I have to deal with poor people breaking down on the side of the road, creating dangerous traffic situations.

If I can deal with all of this, people can deal with my modified exhaust for five seconds as I drive by. Otherwise, I'll just find some other way to be obnoxious haha.

Car alarms needs to be added to this list as they're completely ineffective and obnoxious.

No problems with that. Just don't forget to put the drivers license into the trash compactor, too.
