Don't try that on me. It won't end well.

I'm more pissed over the 1978 Chevy kidnapper van that blasted around the corner this afternoon pumping a massive plume of exhaust down the street. I only know how bad it was because it had apparently driven down my route--I followed that shit trail for 1/2 mile later. Fucking worthless asshole.

When all's said and done I should have about 1,500 watts. Hope to catch you at a red light - a very looooong one. But don't worry I won't be blasting rap, it will be Issac Hayes or The BeeJees or maybe some Quincey Jones.

I'll watch out for that... and you'll know its me when I drop trow and take a fat steamy one on your windshield :)

what if I pulled up next to you blasting some Original Cast Recordings? That's just how I get down, yo!

How about people who don't drive a "hoopty" (My F150 hardly qualfies as a "hoopty"), who pulled their doors apart and lined the cab with dynomat, who's vehicle doesn't have a single rattle, and who turn down the music when driving through a residential neighborhood?

Oh yes, and did I mention to have to have both mine and your windows down to hear my music, or be touching the truck?

I don't listen primarily to rap, either. A few songs here and there. Literally like 5, and they're not ones played on the radio.

I wish I had a "retarded" setting on my radio, that might be fun. ;)

it bothers me if its loud enough to shake my car or a building. i blast my music....but thats when im on the highway or something, and my car *does* have a shitty system. max volume on my car is like a weak shout at best, and hardly audible with the windows up

I always wondered how this is not considered disturbing the peace along with loud exhaust systems and fart cans.

Nothing makes me smile more what some ass that paid more for his subwoofer than his car pulls up and makes my shirt vibrate from two cars away at a light- then a cop pulls him over and gives him a ticket (we have a noise law saying you shouldn't be able to hear your music more than 30 ft away :) ). I see it at least once a week.

Listen it's not my job to suffer your behavior because your parents did not teach you how to behave appropriately in public. And if you're driving on public roads then you're out in public. Anyone who is playing their music loud enough to cause me physical discomfort is not behaving appropriately.

I could probably carry a milk crate full of cobblestones to chuck through people's windows who are playing their music too loud and there isn't a jury in the nation that would convict me of a god damn thing.

We have an extra annoying new trend around here, people leaving their stereo up while getting gas.. Its usually a little kid standing there, chest all puffed out stereo up full blast. In their head, they are sooooo cool, everyone else is looking at them like "what a dooooche".

So let me get this straight - you will blast your stereo while you drive, so that every building you drive past has to listen to it, but its ok because you turn it down at red lights?

Talk about a hypocrite.
