Well, if I were king, any car stereo or exhaust system that exceeds a certain dB level at 10 feet would result in the immediate impoundment and crushing of the vehicle in question.

The single worst aspect of living in a big city is noise pollution. Automobile traffic, sirens, planes and helicopters are largely unavoidable, but those antisocial people who intentionally add to the problem ought to be punished, and punished severely. It's no different than intentionally dumping hazardous waste on my lawn.

DON'T Crush the Vehicle, Rabbit . . . Did nothing wrong.

CRUSH the Owner / Driver for his stupidity.

My thoughts exactly. I could just see a vintage 12 cylinder Lamborghini Miura S that doesn't pass the exhaust test because the car is from the 70's , getting smushed because someone is offended by it. SMH

Miura is the most beautiful thing made by a man on this planet.

Anyone looking the wrong way at it would get drop kicked by me as many times as necessary.

Perhaps judgemental, but his judgement is credible to me.

Then you're just as bad.


"It's basic "small penis" syndrome expression."


Apparently no one can like what you don't without it being "small penis syndrome."



Custom cars and flashy cars are not small penis syndrome, and neither are fun sports cars and muscle cars with exhausts louder than your Camry.


I think that people complaining about others having small penis syndrome are the ones with the small penises that are simply jealous of folks enjoying cars and trucks. Hows that? Do you like being told that?

Actually saw one driving years ago. My wife and I were on a bike ride on Jefferson Ave, along the waterfront in Grosse Pointe, MI. I did a double take and almost wiped out. It was just taking off from a stop light, with a big ole cloud of blue oil smoke behind it. It was definitely a survivor, could tell from the paint.
So sexy, and a moving work of art.

This small penis thing is what I consider a low class insult and says more about the person saying it than the person they are referring it to.
I’m not saying agree with some things that people do but I don’t think we need to assume things about their anatomy to make ourselves feel superior.

I think you need to clarify your statement. It’s not a definite thing. I know a lot of upper class people who are heavy into cars. Now putting a set of $2000 wheels on a car worth less than that it could be a possibility.
