Where's the anger in your rant??? Stupid noobs who think they can just waltz right into ATOT and provide a proper rant... WELL THINK AGAIN!!!!! Your freakin' rant was positively HAPPY compared to a real live MANLY rant.

PM Shinerburke for some tips on how it is done the right way.


:thumbsup: He's right. Good rants are full of murderous rage. Next time, you need a lot more cursing, threats of bodily harm, etc. If you're having trouble, try drinking heavily before writing the rant.
 
Are you ranting about big exhaust tips or about young whipper snappers speeding? From the title, I thought it was about big exhaust tips, but when I read your rant, I see it's more about those menacing kids going too fast.
 
:roll:

People have always customized their cars. Louder has always been one of the main aspects of that.

I live in a small community with lots of long winding roads with 30 mph speed limits and lots of children and people crossing the roads to get to the lake. At least once a week, I get some stupid-ass 17 year old punk(guys AND girls, doesn't seem to matter) with the annoying yellow-jacket drone following me closely enough to scrape the paint off my bumper. Sometimes they will even pass me and drive away at 50+ mph on these small, shoulderless roads.

There's a very simple solution to that; start slowing down. Get your speed right down, and when they back off, speed up to the speed limit again. If they get close again, repeat.
Failing that, tap your brake pedal quickly (without actually applying the brakes themselves). This is usually enough to scare them off. For your diehard bumper riders, you may want to consider jamming the brakes on. Hard.

Then say you saw a <insert name of woodland animal here> crossing the road.

Does an excuse like that actually hold up in court?

My father's a loss adjuster; before that, he was a claims inspector for one of the UK's larger insurance companies for 36 years. You'd be surprised at how well it works. Obviously, a rabbit in a busy street isn't going to hold up, but if there's wildlife nearby, then there's a pretty good chance.
