I was just laughing at the Chestermere Facebook group this morning about this. Every few days there's some people complaining about certain cars' exhaust. Pretty sure my neighbour's kids and one or two of their friends are the ones they're talking about.
I can't say much about it now because my car is just the factory exhaust and tune but it still does have a bit of noise to it.. my wife always knows when I start the car no matter where she is in the house now, no sneaking out
Whatever, people do silly things but if it makes them happy it doesn't really bother me, I'm more jealous of their youth and enthusiasm than anything.
That said yeah if it's a crap car made to sound like it's got something more than it really does then it is hard not to be a bit derisive.
