[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.
