There's a difference between the normal operating noises of a dragstrip and a parade of vehicles with too-loud exhausts running through your neighborhood all day, especially when some of them are prone to reckless behaviour from time to time. On Island's big event days, I hear loud cars on and off all day. I don't have a problem with this. It's the jackasses with straight pipes (special points for black-smoke-belching diesel jackasses with said straight pipes, usually upright in the bed of the truck or morons on motorcycles with drilled out/no mufflers) flooring their vehicles up 517 and doing 60+ miles per hour in a residential area with a *lot* of hidden driveways.
I'm a car guy. I don't always abide by the law, I'll freely admit. But I don't speed through residential neighborhoods making tons of noise/endangering other people and pissing off the folks that live there.
Someone else posted this, and it's appropriate here: "Personal responsibility, eh?"
