re: Loud mufflers - the real epidemic in Baton Rouge

I don't think it's just Baton Rouge. I'm in Houston and I go for walks at night around a residential area with a main boulevard running through the middle. I live near the main boulevard also. I can't stand when I hear a car coming 20 seconds away and it passes and I hear it for another 20 and it's some generic arse Honda Civic or light truck that sounds like they cut the muffler off.

Why would you do that? What kind of idiot spends money to make everyone in their neighborhood hate them?

I'd be pissed if I lived in quiet area and had one of these jacklegs as a neighbors son.

Also, I live a mile from 290 but I hear the 'packs' of crotch rockets several times a day sounding like they are hauling arse. Whatever man, some of those people have a death wish with these erratic and distracted drivers.
