I’m a semi car guy and I made my car “louder” on purpose. It wasn’t for attention or to make girls wet. It was literally because I liked the sound, and it’s less restrictive, which means more horsepower.
I get that some are obnoxious, and I’m not saying they’re not doing it for attention. But, some of us just want to enjoy our car.
lol you probably think your shitwagon spewing hydrocarbon exhaust doesn’t count, get fucked. made car louder on purpose is a cute way of saying “I intentionally circumvented the engine’s efficiency in order to VROOM VROOM LOUDER” because that’s what your doing.
Enjoy tinnitus, shame you couldn’t keep it and your exhaust bullshit to yourself.
Future generations are going to despise this one - we had all the knowledge needed, just couldn’t motivate fuckwits to give up their vroom vroom for the sake of the ONE LIVABLE BIOSPHERE IN THE UNIVERSE WE HAVE ACCESS TO.
also I’d wager there’s some non-renewable energy being used when you charge either at home or away, and even then, motoring for fun is releasing tons of other shit (particulates from your tires) - maybe time to find a new ‘hobby’
Not everyone can afford an electric car 2. Harassing individuals has been identified as counter productive over and over again. Maybe try to help the climate crisis by holding the corporations actually responsible for the issue accountable instead of alienating potential allies and giving the movement an overall insufferable vibe.
if they can afford to modify their car for shittier performance in order to be louder, then their ability to afford an ev is moot. they’d rig it to spew some other pollutant.
strawman bullshit
I’m not harassing anyone. Harassing them would be throwing dogshit on their pavement princess jacked up 4x4 bullshit. harassment would be caltrops in their driveway so they can focus on revving it in their driveway for a few more weekends.
Get it through your skull: Calling people out on their admitted bullshit, when IT’S LITERALLY KILLING THE ONLY ATMOSPHERE WE HAVE, is not harassment
RE: CORPS - WHY NOT BOTH?
Why let individuals off for their wretched decisions when they KNEW and were repeatedly informed what they were doing was disgusting, inefficient, counterproductive, it’s shit neighbor, it scares kids and animals, fuck why can’t they ever be fucking blamed for the STUPID DECISIONS THEY MAKE?
Because I can juggle both those concepts in my head, it’s pretty straightforward even. Give it a go.
For sure. Given that public roads are the most horrendously undertaxed public resources out there, it’s especially irritating when folks go out of their way to use them in the most self serving fashion imaginable.
Private tracks exist. They don’t mind engine noise.
I could get behind this. And let’s be honest, half of them are just living out their child choo choo fantasies, we can let them have the funny hat and be ‘conductors’. they just have to fund their own bullshit and remediation for same.
I’m about two months into owning a fully-electric vehicle (not a Tesla, thank goodness), and I have a hard time getting over how wonderfully quiet it is. And it’s one of the qualities I couldn’t wait to experience.
Another reason to look forward to electric vehicles! Imagine a world 20 years from now where the noise is vanishing, the gasoline/deisel smell is only for the diehards going to that one remaining service station that still sells it, no more visible emissions from cars or rolling coal!
Loud cars. So fucking lame.
I don’t think these people necessarily think it’s cool either. They want attention and to annoy people, which is what they get.

So it’s justifiable to irritate those around you and be obnoxious as long as you are enjoying yourself. Got it.
some?

Selfish doesn’t even begin to describe it.
There are ways to enjoy cars off public roads and away from private residences.
you keep the exhaust to yourself too? how many spare atmospheres do you think we have?
I drive electric, so…yes?
good for you. the one you’re replying to doesn’t.

transportation as entertainment… what a world

Not some. It is obnoxious. The reason why doesn’t matter.
As long as you’re happy, I guess.
You suck
Exactly this. That’s why I installed an aftermarket exhaust when I did it on a previous car
And loud motorcycles.
And the ice cream truck playing jingles. I am not a fan of people driving trucks into neighbourhoods and playing loud music to advertise.

Or motorcycles in the city.
