Am I the only one -
Am I the only one -
- who practically crawl when driving near my neighborhood? People are raising issues about loud cars in my neighborhood eversince a new neighbor moved in not too long ago. He has two uncorked civics. Those are loudest four bangers I ever heard to this day. I have full turbo back with Greddy Evo. But I still feel a little concern about people might be hating me. So, these days, I'm mostly on my clutch whenever I'm driving to or out of my home. Am I the only one here?

Theres a Harley enthusiast down the street from me....I have nothing to worry about...lol.
people always think i drive "fast" just cuz my car is loud.
Happened two times, when i was WELL below the speed limit of 25 mph. goin 15 mph.
So from now on when there's cars behind me in my neighborhood, i drive no more than 10 on purpose. Cuz they simply whine too much.

The neighbors across the street have a BMW 330i with an alarm that goes off every 2 hours. You know...those ones with all the different sirens. A lot of people seem to complain about that, esp when the owner doesn't even know after 5 min!
Also, my next door neighbor has a 240sx with some kind of aftermarket exhaust. It's pretty loud.
Another car is a BMW 2002 down the block.
Neighbors don't seem to mind.

I always drive slow in residential areas. I can't stand the punks who live near me who go tearing down the street in their Pepboys special mufflers attached to their POS.

yea...not to mention they have their little grand daugters riding their bike in the MIDDLE OF THE ROAD when i'm coming out of a turn.
Oh, and they love walking their dogs at 10pm at night with no flashlights/reflectors whatsoever. And street lighting is very limited

a few of my neighbors have pretty loud cars...one has a mustang, one has a 71 barracuda, and one a 91 vette......so I dont worry about my exhaust. My neighbors are cool...not to mention my next door neighbor is a po-po, and she has never said anything.
