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?"

Meh. Bikes are really a different story. Its true loud pipes saved lives. Ive witnessed it first hand at 70mph going over the Driscal Bridge.

Shouldnt be tearing off like an ******* in residential still. For the record I was just putting along and my trucks not ridiculously loud unless you get on it or its sitting there high idling. Just happened to seem like the police attention could have been better aimed at the dick heads that were bumper to bumper blowing stop signs in the actual residential areas than pull overs for tint and front plates...
