The Car Thread ... !

It's perfect! And when someone is driving and messing with their phone, I twist the throttle and it becomes like godzilla roaring, people jump from their seat.

That's awesome lol.

I'm not crazy about "tear your eardrums out" loud, but I do appreciate an audible motorcycle when I'm driving. If I hear one coming and I don't already see it, I will scan around until I find it because I like to keep their position in mind. In SoCal a lot of people ride bikes, especially during commute hours. People ride them because you can bypass a lot of traffic jams by lane splitting, and so that's common. Definitely not a good place to be not paying attention on your phone!

Also bikes are really cool. :3

Do you have loud capturing cameras in the US? Like a speed camera, but if your car is over a certain dbl level you get fined.

We have some in my city in Australia, but they are rare and considered "experimental" ie, under trial so I think you don't get any penalties.

Some of the Golf Rs and similar getting around are so loud they shake windows with their exhaust explosions. They aren't really going fast either.

I don't see how those noise cameras can be so difficult, they are used commonly elsewhere.

NYC has sound pollution cameras. There are even OEM exhausts that have exceeded the db level that have resulted in tickets.

My motorcycle will definitely get a ticket if I was to pass one of these.
