Why does something being "stock" excuse it from nuisance laws? Fucking 8 billion lumen headlights, ridiculous exhausts, completely unnecessarily large vehicles, and blasting stereos are the bane of my commute and work day. And people have them for no other reason than because.
And putting any sort of sound kit on an ev should be a crime. Fucking safety!? Really?
I have adjustable exhaust vents. I set it to quiet start 20hrs out of the day. It will only turn on loudly between 1pm-5pm. Before and after are quiet starts. My neighbors appreciate it.
You're being a dick only in the afternoon? That's so kind of you.
You live on your computer. Go take a break and touch some grass.
Awwwwww. Is your butt hurt? Do you need some preparation H?
I see you also have a 'dick' setting for you online comments. How many hours per day is that on?

You're hurting people for fun because you're ignorant or just plain asshole. Saying "I only do it couple hours a day" is the dumbest excuse I've seen so far.
My neighbors are all in love with my car. They are all muscle car people. You don’t even know what you’re talking about clown. Making assumptions makes you an ass. And I usually am not home at those hours. So me starting up does nothing to their peace. Go touch grass.
Ok, if all your neighbors are also assholes I guess it's fine, sorry. You're all simply hurting others with your muscle cars. What a fun neighborhood that has to be! Do you also enjoy rolling coal? Only in the afternoons of course.
Also. We don’t do burn outs. We don’t damage the roads in our neighborhoods and we go to tracks for that stuff. You assumed so much. You just proved you are angry at an imagination you made up in your head. Pathetic. Get a grip.
Lololol. My neighbors are ex-NHRA racers, owners and mechanics. They have old F-1 Ford trucks or K-1’s. They have corvettes outside their homes and we all talk shop. You are just a shut in. That has clearly no life outside of the internet.
So your "cool racer car" friends don't have laud cars? You're the only one? I guess you're the only cringe guy in the neighborhood than haha. Respect for your more considerate neighbors. You still sound like a dick.
Across the court. There’s a dude with a house of 3-4 other dudes. They have motorcycles. They are loud but no one cares because it’s just a normal thing in our neighborhood. The direct neighbor to me has friends with old school hot rods that come over to hang out often. And then there are my other neighbors to the left with trucks and ATV’s. They go wild sometimes doing figure 8’s on the Atc’s. But again. None of us complain because it’s not at all hours of the night. My one neighbor has an old dodge dart that he goes under bridges and does burn outs. But far away from any homes. So he doesn’t bother people.
I never rev my engine or do burn outs. The car simply turns on and I have a V8. So it is inevitably louder than a 4 cylinder. But I can make it as quiet with settings to the decibel level of a civic. So that’s what I do.
You're shitting me. You artificially make your car louder than it has to be? Fucking dark triad marker right there. Not even joking.

Get a grip, psycho.
The car naturally rumbles. I set it to quiet start for most the day because I’m not a fan of loud obnoxious exhausts. Which this is not. It’s able to take the four pipes in the back and turn it into 2 only. You can when tracking the car. Set it to fully open. But if you drive around town like that. You will get ticketed and the car unregistered if it gets hit for checks by the police. When you change the settings the car warns you that it’s track use only. Which only use it on.
I don’t do burn outs because my tires are 400$ a pop. I ain’t rubbing any of that rubber off. And the car even has a burn out mode if I wanted to do it. Butttttttttt I don’t.
I’m on my eBike most of the time anyways.
If it’s stock, the blame should be on the manufacturer. Instead of punishing the consumer, where’s the recall?
Agreed.
I get the logic that it’s not the fault of the person who bought the car, but cars like that should not be legal to sell.
