As a random douchebag who cranks their stereo and roars through the street in my modded car, I apologize. I can't help it, I'm 37 but I still love loud music and driving fast.
That said, I'm not an inconsiderate random douchebag; I turn down the subwoofer and stay out of redline in residential areas. I also didn't cheap out on the exhaust. I got me a proper resonated catback, not a $200 fart can that drones on at 95dB even when idling. If you drive normally it purrs softly like a kitty cat. You'll only hear me is I want you to. And once again I apologize for all the random douchebags who do burnouts in cul-de-sacs and crank the shittiest hip hop in existence at 3AM while you try to sleep.
