[General] Deliberately loud vehicles should be illegal, impounded, and crushed into a cube at the owner's expense
Since the last 24 hours have had nothing but troll posts (and one that a user deleted; dunno what that one was), here's my latest gripe / reason I'm tired shaped into the form of an Unpopular Opinion. Hopefully this gets us back on track.
Nobody is impressed by you revving your engine at a stop light and cranking out 300 dB of noise from your fart cannon at 3 in the morning (or any time of day, for that matter). There is also no reason to peel out from the stop light when the next light is 2 blocks away and guaranteed to be red. e.g. 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.
Driving an (intentionally) obnoxiously loud vehicle, especially driving it aggressively, should result in immediate revocation of license and the offending vehicle crushed into a cube. As much as I hate vague "disturbing the peace" laws, this seems like a good use for them (where noise ordinances don't exist).
I don't care about the extra 1-2 HP you get. Do tell me all the (street legal) things your pavement princess of a truck is going to do with that (I can see it has neither the tow package nor a speck of dirt on the tires). If you just like the sound and think I should get over it, allow me to come fart near you. If you don't like the smell, by your logic, that's on you: get over it.
Note: It may be a regional thing, but this is definitely an unpopular opinion in my (very redneck) area.
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.

what?
You said all those things are awful and you hate dealing with them, and in response, you're going to add ANOTHER shitty thing everyone ELSE has to deal with. Wonderful. When I needed to replace the muffler on my work truck the guy asked how loud I wanted it. I said, "it's a muffler? not loud?" old guy got a big smile on his face, gave me a new stock OEM muffler for next to nothing, and thanked me for not being like you.
That's fine. I can replace my own exhaust because I know how to operate a socket and ratchet set. I'm not subject to other people's criticisms because they don't matter, and I don't care. That same mechanic probably waltzed off to vote conservative to ban abortion and remove trans rights, so good job earning his respect.
Which is the bigger affront to society? Apparently slightly-louder-than-normal car noises, lol.
ah so your loud muffler, in fact, speaks volumes about you. you're an asshole. Someone who sees people with a broken down car and thinks it's an inconvenience for them.
I, too, fix my own truck. Just not all the time, because sometimes I'm busy doing other things. Like not being an asshole to everyone within earshot of my truck.
You know of only 0.001% of my entire life, and thats enough to judge me as being the problem. Maybe people jumping to conclusions based on limited facts and overall awareness are the real problem?
And you know nothing about my entire life either. But the difference is I'm not sitting here acting entitled saying other people need to suck it up and deal with me being dick when the problems in my life have nothing to do with them. You justify your actions to yourself however you want buddy, it doesn't change reality.
I'm obviously already more grown up than you are regardless of your age purely based on your entitlement. And the person being a dick doesn't get to tell others they aren't. Your poor attempts at trying to justify your actions don't hide the fact you want others to just let you do whatever you want because you had a bad day. News flash, it's not all about you, we all have shit days, years, or even lives. Get over it and stop whining and expecting others to deal with childishness. Because that's what it is, you are being a bratty child. Go back to elementary school since you clearly missed some lessons there.
You guys are ridiculous. I stand by everything I said in my original post, but I'm just trolling you all now. Every time I voice a controversial opinion, I'm swamped by a gang of assholes who can't accept that they could be wrong, and they all expect my dedicated, individual attention to prove their dumb, low effort comments wrong. It's not worth the effort after like post number 3, so I just resort to pissing everybody off. And nobody can even tell.
Come at me with facts, and I'll read your post. If you begin by telling me you're more "mature", then you've already lost.
Lmao, what you don't get is I don't care what you think. You've already shown the kind of person you are. I was waiting to see how long until you have a hissy fit cause things aren't going your way. I only put effort into conversations with people who show they are able to have intelligent meaningful conversations. Not entitled children who expect to be catered to.
No, that's not how any of this works. Hilarious when people whip out the personal insults--that usually means they don't have a valid point.
How is harassing a single person at 3 am, an activity that is literally against the law (disturbing the peace) remotely equivalent to driving down the road with exhaust thats like ten percent louder than OEM?
No personal Insults we're whipped out. Never said you are an asshole, I said certain behaviors are that of an asshole. If you think it's okay to behave like that, well, that's on you.
Like everyone else I have to deal with these "I have a small peepee" cars every day, day and night. I wake up regularly at night because of people like you, that have this innate need to make everyone know how big their peepee really is! It's not small, it really isn't!
If you take that as ab insult, then stop modifying cars to be stoopid. Just drive a normal car, drive normal, don't be an asshole.
More personal insults. Proof that it's only down to preference, and yours isn't the rule of God. There are things you're just going to have to accept the L on, and this is one of them.
If you're so concerned about the sounds of people's cars enough that it conjures imaginings about that person's penis, then you're probably not contributing to society in any meaningful way. Lol.
