    I think there’s a socioeconomic aspect to this too. Growing up poor I thought it was so cool to see ricers with sound systems drive by. I used to browse the local car audio shop looking at the variety of subwoofers I would buy it I could ever afford a car. It wasn’t till I was older that I realized how annoying it can be to others, but I still enjoy a good sound system.

      My experience is similar I used to appreciate cars with a decent exhaust and went through the same sound system phase. Then I lived on a slight hill on a long street. After a couple of months, some cunt who started work at 5am would frequently drop to a lower gear going down the hill and would wake me up every other week. So this title does not surprise me in the least.

      I’m also hearing impaired and sleep without hearing aids. The people who aren’t half deaf must have been in hell. These days I think if your car is over a certain decibel limit, defect notice and impounded if not fixed. Fuck em
