I only pump my music when I am driving in the city when its perfect temperature to open my windows.

Otherwise it is not that loud, you won't hear much. It won't rattle either

I'm not going to get started on the inconsiderate assholes that flick cigarettes on the ground... I'm glad you get some petty vengeance though :)

i flick cig butts on the ground while sitting at stop lights listening to my 30k watt stereo at volume 11 all the while punching mentally challenged kids in the back of the head.


i have a fairly loud stereo in my truck, it will be even louder when i get my sub installed. the doors just dont carry enough bass to even hear at medium volumes. i like to hear full music, but im not one to have a 100 yard bass system in my vehicles. it doesnt usually bother me tho, for the most part i dont hear other peoples stereos over mine and road noise. at lights, its a minor issue, as im only there for about 45 seconds. i can be tolerant for longer than that.

lots of cities have laws against the loud stereos, i remember here in phoenix back in the 90s the cops busted a ton of them for being able to hear them farther than 50 ft away. ticket was crap tho, easy to pay and didnt require any equipment changes. its still a law, but a total non issue for most people.

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

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.

except vandalism.

I love bass, but I do turn it down at stop lights. Only time I don't is when some ass hat is next to me with is up...then of course I have to turn mine up cuz im 12yrs old.

It is my job to enforce the laws in my state. If you're driving on public roads, keep your trash in your car. Or you can pay $288 to the State of NH.

Your call.

Chucking cigarettes from windows is a pet peeve of mine. Conveniently it's also illegal. :p

honestly, it's a rant about music, no need to hide behind the badge on this one. it's not impressing anyone here. if you believe you have a right to blast your music so be it, or if you think he's in the wrong for thinking flicking a cig is the right retalliation, so be it, but let's not go internet cop people out.

:confused:

My 5.25" subwoofer isn't going to blast much at all. Throwing lit cigarettes into an open window is much more dangerous than driving around with obnoxious music. Are you saying I'm the only one here without a right to an opinion? :p

I also lower volume at red lights. If you have a cheap car, road noise is an actual problem...

Why are so many people bashing this rant? I hate when I'm driving and even with my windows up I can feel/hear the loud ass bass and rattling of some piece of shit ghetto car. If I have a headache it's just that much worse.

Fuck those people they deserve to get their shit smashed. Inconsiderate worthless scumbags.

Or assault with a deadly weapon.

Seriously, you want to teach people to behave better by flicking lit cigarettes into their cars? :confused:

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. ;)

I think most people who rant about this especially have a problem with rap music. Some sort of contractor was in my neighborhood last week. He had an F250, with a super high end after market system. He was blasting Journey loud enough I could hear Steve Perrys voice a block away and know the words. Something tells me, this would upset the people too, but not nearly as much as the rap blasters. I hear plenty of older white people blasting rock music at the same volumes. And many of the "fuck those people!" carry on about how crappy the stereos sound. I have a friend who put about 12k into his system, and honestly it sounds better than 95% of home setups. But I still see people calling his system ghetto and shitty sounding lol.
