I don't speed, but I love accelerating from 0 to 5 to 7 miles over the speed limit as quick as I can. Is it time paint my car a different color or give it a vinyl wrap?
Seriously. People like you are inconsiderate and rude. I'm all for some speed, but your loud a$$ car is nothing but annoying. I hope they DO give you a ticket.

Sounds like you're compensating for something anyway.

We had one of those in our office neighborhood. Some people from my company complained, and apparently all the buildings on the street had lodged complaints about the person.

I presume that the police attempted to solve it rationally, but you can't reason with people whose psychological dysfunction compels them to do things that deliberately draw negative attention to themselves (including that of law enforcement). Eventually one thing led to another and the police suddenly became very focused on the neighborhood until the problem went away. I doubt that attempting to reason with the driver worked, as it won't in your case.

Here are some other resources for you. Yeah, it's THAT obvious (especially from your other threads). This belongs in the Psych forum. Good luck.

Some of us just like muscular sounding cars. doesn't mean we're compensating for anything. The people that think that are the ones compensating for small minds.


Sounds like you just hate fun.

That would be true.



I did a resonator delete... added Blastin' Bobs and dual flowmaster 40 series.

The car has a low rumble... the sound matches the car.

A lot of people out there add the most annoying loud garbage to their car that they can find... the car you can hear 1/4 mile away or when he's right next to you makes you want to put the earplugs in... I am not one of those people though.

I know plenty of people with muscle cars who don't have an attitude like the OP, which is what I was referring to. Not the type of car he drives.

And I don't hate fun. I do hate people who jump to conclusions though.

same poster with weird issues again

Oh wait - you have been claiming that you accelerate so fast that a left turner 800-ft ahead gets completely confused and create situation while you never loose traction doing so and police can't do anything about it. But now it seems non-uniformed police started approaching you; they can't fault your absolutely perfect traction so they find a fault in exhaust

OP you are too full of yourself.

You are so cool being able to peel out!

When I see someone doing that it makes me think the driver has a tiny little pecker.

i dont hate fun, and i dont hate loud cars, i was a crew chief for few years on a drag car team running a fuel altered.

what i do dislike though is some jack head that thinks he is always at the drag strip where ever they go, and they feel they have to go around doing burnouts and causing traffic problems, just because they think they can.

You can avoid this by keeping the shenanigans away from home.
How aggressively do they drive it?

Oh dear, I initially misread your thread title. I thought it said "Police asking me to stop peeing at traffic lights." (I would hope so!)
