Car Stereo Etiquette

[Conway_Stewart]

I was driving home from a long day at work on Friday looking forward to a quiet relaxing weekend.

On the way home, I pull up to an intersection and stop at a red light. Then I start to hear this sound from behind my car:
KABOOM...KABOOM...KABOOM


Then it starts to get a little louder:
KABOOM...KABOOM...KABOOM


Then this black pick up truck with some overpowered, aftermarket sound system pulls up next to me at the red light:
KABOOM...KABOOM...KABOOM!!!!!


WTF??? My whole car was shaking!!! I could feel the air around my face vibrating to the pounding bass notes emanating from this guy's truck.

People who impose their crappy music on others this way are assholes who should be kicked in the nuts!!! They are selfish...they are probably criminals...and they ALWAYS have shitty taste in music!!!

If you are in Canada surely there are noise pollution laws that apply?

Why didn't you just turn the volume way up on your CD of Beethoven's 5th symphony? That'd show the bastard.

 

[harryass]

fn jerks thats all they are. I would release my spike belt from my car as mr. deaf and dum pulls behind me.

It's all about being noticed, for shit music or what, I don't know. This is a most annoying thing. Wait til these fuckers are older and can't hear a damn thing beacuse of the damage being done. I listened to loud music too growing up, but not that loud, withthat much bass and in such a confined space.

I had some yahoo in the circle where I live, same thing loud crap just pumping out then about three days later the phone rang “this is neighborhood watch a car in your area…” LMFAO yup his cars was broken into and guess what was stolen! Three weeks had past and just like before loud crap filled the air and justice was severed car was broken into again…
Now there is peace in the air guess his insurance won’t cover him any more..

I know. I've had that happen to me also. For some strange reason they think that everyone else wants to hear their music blasting away. It's stupid, childish and inconsiderate but what else is new these days?

it's not about thinking other people WANT to hear their music, it's the opposite. showing lack of respect. on purpose. and because they can, they do. i'm positive no-one would turn up the sound if they were beside a bad-looking biker. or cop.

Haven't noticed any particular culture to be over-represented...Seems like this type of douchebaggery transcends culture.

It is always guys and they are always between the ages of 18-26.

Interestingly, the last person I have seen was a lady blasting some nauseating RnB out of a merc S-class (about 6-8yrs old) on ridiculously large rims.

have you tried talking with them? knock on their window and say "I say good chap would you like some grey poupon? oh and if its not a bother can you lower the volume on your phonograph? right, pip pip"

touching a car like that and speaking to its occupants would put you into a category of Darwin-award seekers. Make sure you are an organ donor.

You mean something like this?

nothing different with the "ricers" in my block and yes they also play their "music" (well it rhymes although it worst than dr. suess) extremely loud. i'm used their music being loud but doesn't mind. parents are actually nice people. but their mufflers are modified and gives you that "ricer" effect. this idiot let one of his friends drive the car 70km/hr on a 40km / hr street. lost control and hit a white van, across my house. they thought nobody saw them and parked the car inside the garage. and they played cool outside. they saw me walk out of the house, gave them the finger and walked across the street to the house where the van was parked. knocked on the house where 2 burly brothers (contractors i believe)live and told them what happened. kids looked defeated. "you play you pay assholes" is all i said. I see lots of little kids play on my street btw. civic is a nice car and you can supe it up as much as you want but it's far from being a racing material.

putting a kid behind the wheel is like handing them a loaded gun.
