What I cannot appreciate is the attack that people go on, over these things.

With the state that our world is in, I think having to listen to someone else's music is hardly a travesty!

That being said, there are obviously SOME disrespectful people in your area, who take it a little too far.

That's very unfortunate. For your sake, I hope that they pass a law. (For the record, where I live, there has always been a noise bylaw, completely unrelated to vehicles. If you're being loud after a certain time, you get a fine. Regardless of what it is you're being loud about ;) )

We're not all disrespectful, selfish, criminals, after all.

That sentence doesn't make sense to me ... Travesty … charade … caricature … parody … mockery … sham … pretense … farce.

There is a law, but the crap still has to be going on by the time the law enforcement team arrives. How do you propose to get the law enforcement there in the bumper to bumper traffic? How should I keep them in place on my street long enough to call the law? By the time the law arrives ... they are long gone.

re firebird

what year was it ... V6 or V8?

if it was a v8 was it a 305 or 350

You're talking to a guy who took a drill, file, and tube of liquid metal to his Rochester Quadrajet 4 barrel carb that no mechanic would have touched and for which every repair manual said don't touch. Goal of that was to enlarge all of the critical fuel passages/wells, and smooth airflow. It eliminated any hesitation, pulled at least twice as hard, and burried both needles after that, in half the time it took to do it before.

You think I have no clue just for dismissing it for being as stupid and pointless as it truly is, but that's a wild assumption on your part.

I can tell you of experiences like when a buddy of mine with his single tone generating rice runner started off saying "yeah but it will never have bass like my car does".... to which I agreed. He finished off saying "How can I get bass like THAT in my car", the answer? Sorry, you can't.

There is no skill in waxing /detailing a car properly. Ok sure, there's skill in tying your shoes or wiping your *** too, but anyone can do it if they're shown the technique and they take a little pride in their work. So big deal?

I how you better understand where I'm comming from now.

me personally....absolutely hate rap "music". so i hate to have blaring in my ears when i have no control of the volume. but to each his own.those little suburban wanna-be gangstas probably dont care to hear some good ol country music blaring in theirs either. the only difference is i have enough respect not too.

was that the split rear window? or did the end those in mid 60s .... maybe 63-65

Congrats to you, I know guys who have built/modified a lot of their own car parts. I know guys who have reprogrammed their computers to make them go faster (a lot more than simply just buying a plug and play chip). People who have modified their rotary engine. Even professionally trained Mazda mechanics don't want to think about attempting that. Just because you think it's so easy to do things, doesn't mean it is. I know people who have done ground up restores on their 50's coupes by themselves (all except for paint). But I'm guessing none of that you would consider skill, because nothing could compare to what you do or have done.

So why is it so stupid again...oh yes, because it falls short of the sound quality you prefer. You are unwilling to accept not everyone has your view and may find pleasure with what is apparently "fake" music (or even competing in a single tone "fart" competition even). Throwing it off as being easily amused, because, gosh darnit ,we just aren't as smart and stuck up as you.

Ok, so your home stereo is amazing sounding. Congrats on that too. I wish I had a truely jaw dropping home stereo, as much as I wish I had a truely amazing "make you vomit" car stereo again. I get your point, as much as you obviously weren't paying attention when I talked about people who had sound quality systems in their car, that were designed for the same purpose your home audio system was and were simply amazing (of course I could never compare it to your home system as I've never heard it). The fact remains, that you are correct...bass test systems are not designed to have the sound quality of a home theatre. That is not the basic design for them, nor have I ever claimed it to be. I was simply stating the fact, that with the proper money spent on other speakers and amps, it can sound great, not amazing but great none the less, even when playing "real music". Of course you wouldn't think so though, because you are soooo much better than the rest of us easily amused people.

As there is no skill in artwork and writing...anyone can do it. I consider how professionals do it to be "properly", or else they wouldn't be professionals in their field of work. I agree that anyone can do it, and take pride in their work. Yes it may be done exceptionally well for an amatuer, but hand it over to a professional and they will be able do it twice as well. Just like you could show me the technique to design and build cutting edge power amps, I could spend 1000's of hours designing, and if I put a little pride into it, I could do it. It probably wouldn't be half as good as one you designed but I could still do it, if shown the technique, so there must be no skill involved.

I'm going to guess that is supposed to mean, "I hope you better understand where I am coming from now."
If so, I think I do...The Land of the Ignorant? or is it the place next door to that...The Land of the High and Mighty?
oh grate and wunderfull partof1 We're not worthy!! <-- little over the top...maybe, but I'm over it now

Okay, using this logic is a bit silly, isn't it?

Not everyone wants to see some couple make out in public, not everyone likes to smell other people's food, while they're out somewhere. Not everyone likes the same music, not everyone wants to hear your cell phone conversations.

We don't always get what we want, and we all have pet peeves that we're unfortunately going to be exposed to, while out in public. The solution, clearly, is never to go out in public, or *gasp* we might come across something that we don't enjoy, and have no control over!

I don't do it to piss off the guy next to me. I do it because I like loud music.
