I hear assholes in muscle cars going by outside my window a few times a day, and their cars are so loud following traffic at like 30-40 mph. I would get it if they were racing or something, but if your car is doing just normal low-level driving why does it need to make so much noise?

It feels like if a person walked from one room to another while panting and gasping for air like they just did an intense sprint. I would be more likely to call an ambulance than hi-five them.

i remember watching some wrenching videos where the guy was dumping tens of thousands into a miata, and one thing kinda stuck with me: when you're in a tiny car, you want to be loud so that the other cars are aware of you. Can you imagine taking out your itty bitty car you spent 50 grand and months or years of work on just to get sideswiped by some jackass in a RAM truck?

That being said, muscle cars are typically not itty bitty, so i get the frustration
