Has anyone else noticed an increase in wildly loud exhaust on passenger vehicles? What I've witnessed lately goes beyond your ordinary modified Mustang or Camaro sport-tuned exhaust into some complete other category that I can only describe as NASCAR-style or professional drag racing level of noise being produced. I imagine it is the work of a small handful of car enthusiasts but I don't recall in my entire life hearing a car produce that type of sound outside of a race track. I don't wish ill will on anyone (regardless of their lack of consideration for others) but if they happened to throw a rod or burn up their clutch, I can't say I wouldn't quietly celebrate.
There was a phase several years ago with lots of "crotch rocket" (motorcycles) performing dangerous acts on the freeways. I don't see it as often, but I think a lot of those riders either crashed and burned or their insurance was so high they couldn't keep up with it on top of just general stupidity. Maybe the problem will eventually weed itself out without too many innocent bystanders being impacted.
