Putting a loud exhaust system on a shitbox doesn't make it cool or fast - it makes it a loud shitbox

[HopeHoops]

This has been a public service announcement.

[Tobin S.]

1. lol, I hear you

It seems like everyone with a piece of shit 4-banger has got an exhaust system on it that's probably worth more than the car.

[sarge43]

2. An eight speaker sound system cranked to eleven makes it a very loud shitbox. n/t

[madinmaryland]

3. I wish I could rec this! I saw one of those yesterday who thought he was

just as cool as a Dodge Charger (the new one).

What a douchebag.

[BlueJazz]

4. ..and most of the time, the bigger the shitbox the worst music comes out of them.

Here in Florida, they pull up beside you and sound like a Bull Elephant with a pair of pliers squashing it's balls while
screaming "I'm gonna' fuck you with my passion log" Repeat 600 times.

[sarge43]

6. .....

:spray::rofl::applause:

[HopeHoops]

7. "fuck you with my passion log"

:rofl:

I haven't heard that one! Usually all you can make out is the bass.

[kimi]

10. Omigosh, that is funny!!

"Passion log"

I'm going to snicker over that for awhile now. :rofl:

5. I have the opposite problem

muffler falling off the old van (with a 460 in it, hee hee)

the loud car types are always impressed, asking what we have in there :rofl:

12. 1980, moving from Tennessee back to my hometown in Michigan...

.
.
.
...in my 383 c.i. 1971 Dodge Charger. The whole rear end of the exhaust system
fell off the night before I was leaving. Re-routed my trip to back State highways
in the middle of the night to cut down on my chances of getting busted. Slow. Li'l
bitty towns with 35 mph speed limits and stoplights. About 1 AM, I realized that
I was gonna run outta gas soon. This is way before 24 hour gas stations were
even infrequently, let alone universally available. I figure one more town and if
I can't find a gas station, I'll pull over and take a long nap 'til they open.
.
Four-lane Main Street... tooling along and I spot a pool hall with people hanging
out on the sidewalk. I pass it, gun the engine, and do a 180-degree tire-squealing
ear-busting turn, head BACK, pass it, do another like before and pull over to the
curb right in front of the joint.
.
I lean over to ask and this police uniform slides up from the back to block my view.
.
I'm FUCKED!!! Small-town bored Southern cop and I've just made his night.
.
I'm FUCKED!!!
.
"He" leans down and it's one of the cutest female cops I've ever seen, before or since.
.
She smiles and simply and sweetly says, "Next time you pull through MY town, handsome...
you try and keep it down, y'hear?"
.
Once it dawned on my hormonally-charged (Chargered?) noggin what it was she wanted
me to keep down, I grinned and asked for the nearest gas station. She told me (less
than 5 minutes away) and she walked off.

24. Ha! Happened to me...

...with my first car, a '69 Pontiac LeMans 350. Went over a pothole and the entire left side exhaust system just dropped. Afterwards, anytime I pulled away from a stop sign in the vicinity of a fellow pimply teenage punk, I always got the "Yeah!" and the fist thrust in the air. Now, if I saw me then, I'd probably flip me off.

8. Across the street from the house I lived in until October last year...

...was a little fucking punk-ass 30-something "gangsta" who still lived with his mother and had an El Camino with one of those. Fucker would sit in it and just GUN IT for a half hour. Then he'd turn it off and come out a couple of hours later and do it again.

One day he decided he was going to come across the street, on the side of my house, and work on his car under the shade tree. He was dumping radiator fluid, oil, etc. down the curb drain...that one with the big sign on it and the duck pictures that says "NO DUMPING...FLOWS TO BAY."

I called the cops, they called the fire department, who cited his ass and made him help clean up.

Narc-ing on that worthless little shit was BETTER than sex.

[REP]

11. I don't know why, but El Caminos on El Camino always make me laugh

That, and spoilers on Dodge Neons and Ford Focuses.

9. My buddies with crazy fast 4 cyl. call those "Fart Cans"

Or, in Burlington, grapefruit shooters.....
The big turbos that the fast guys (and truckers)use are pretty good mufflers, fwiw.

[pokerfan]

13. this is true - to make a car cool and fast...

takes gigantic wings:

[Taitertots]

14. That car can't be fast...

It doesn't have decals.}(

[driver8]

17. My wife and I crack up every time we see a piece of shit with those stupid wings on the trunk. n/t

32. They make a good towel rack when a person goes swimming

[david13]

15. Oh. I thought you was talking about hardley davissons. dc

[driver8]

16. AMEN!!!

I live in Southern CA and it is all the rage for the kids to soup up their piece of shit cars. I am sick of seeing them and hearing them.

[TheMightyFavog]

18. It's worse on pickup trucks.

Seriously what is the point of an excessively loud exhaust system on a goddamn pickup, especially one that's been jacked up?

[PJPhreak]

19. These and the sound systems that they have make my crazy!!

Plus those wheels look totally stupid!!

[flvegan]

20. Those wheels on a Grand National are blasphemy.

[PJPhreak]

22. So right you are,Sir!

A really good way to screw up Trannies,Rear Ends and throw yer Speedo and Odo Waaaaaaaay Off!

[madinmaryland]

25. Well, at least that car has an engine that is at least 305 ci. I would hope they

put a 350 ci V-8 in it.

[we can do it]

21. Just Like Loud Harleys, a Pathetic Attemp To Get Noticed

[hippywife]

23. I don't get that or the way too loud music, either.

Do some people really require that much attention that they need to do these kinds of things to get people to look at then?

There was a guy the other day at the gas station in a brand spanking new white Hummer. It was huge! It was cold outside he was dressing in a thin tank top and the music was incredibly loud before he opened the door. When he did open it, I couldn't believe how loud it was and that anyone could stand to be closed up in a vehicle, even a very large one, with it that loud. He looked to be in his early 30's and I expect he will be stone deaf in short order.

26. I recently spent 10 months driving a 1999 NEON with a $2000 stainless-steel exaust system....

And yes, it was a loud SHITBOX. The gas pedal
as not actually an 'accelerator', it was just
a 'volume control'. Putting my foot down just made
the car LOUDER, not faster.

I don't know who put that exhaust system on the car;
it went through several owners before my sister
gave it to me for free. My mechanic said he couldn't
even take it off- the whole thing was WELDED to the
underside of the car, and was probably the single
strongest part holding that rustbucket together.

It was the single WORST vehicle I have ever owned,
and that's saying alot. Driving that piece of shit
made me LONG for my old Ford Pinto.

[PJPhreak]

29. "Driving that piece of shit made me LONG for my old Ford Pinto."

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!

I drive a 01 Neon...Makes me really miss my 'old 71 Chevy Vega,it at least had a 4-Speed that made it "Feel" like a Sporty Shitbox!

Never
Ever

Neon

31. That Pinto was AWESOME...I miss it alot.

It was a car that had gone through the hands of
several family members and been parked on the hill
at Grandpa Steele's place for 2 years before
I dragged it back onto the highway.

The engine was siezed up, so my dad gave me
a motor he had built for the 'Bobcat' my stepmom
was driving when they first met....
My dad is a good mechanic, and that little Pinto was
one hell of a machine. It could race nose-for-nose
with a 5.0 Mustang through the first 3 gears...
(but then the guy in Mustang would shift into 4th,
and that's when I remembered I was in a Pinto,
and it was time to wave bye-bye
at the nice Mustang tail lights, lol!)

When my uncle Joe owned it, he replaced the seats
with some black leather bucket seats he had salvaged
from some wreck somewhere, and that was the BEST
seat I have ever sat in. Just the best.
It was like a glove for my ass, knowhutImean?

I really miss that car. Good times....good times.

27. some of the loudest vehicles are trucks

It's like they want to have a sports car but want to haul stuff too.
