Just last week I saw an SUV with the sticker "SLOW AND LOUD" across their entire rear windshield. And indeed, they revved their loud exhaust while waiting at a stoplight.
It's now becoming a meme in my friend group to call idiots "slow and loud." It's honestly really fitting
Recognizing you are slow and loud is BDE though, like an RPG Tank. "Taunt" is an essential skill for a reason, yo.
EDIT: They probably had to rev it to keep it running. Idle set too low, unadjustable, or just an all-around POS vehicle. Stickers are cheaper than fixing-or-replacing most vehicles. This was common-knowlege, not-so-long-ago.
I've had vehicles that you needed to keep the RPMs up. Automatics. Shifting into neutral also generally did the trick, so presumably was a transmission issue that I had no interest in diagnosing and paying for. Maybe the torque converter, now that I think on it.
Exactly what I was getting at. Often paired wonderfly with loud-ass holes in the exhaust. These people think its a joy to encounter in the wild ... try driving it. Trust me, the driver wishes walking, bike-riding, bus-riding, car-pooling, whatever, were viable for their situation, almost certainly more than you do.
