I'm on the couch tonight
My girl friend gets all bent out of shape when I start the car up under the patio when she is in the shower. I finally got he side pipes on and fired that puppy right up. Not long after, she is in the bathroom window saying something about how loud it is and I scared the crap out of her again. I put my hand to my ear and yelled "I can't hear ya, the car is to loud"

when I first put my headers on I didn't go to muffler shop for a week just cuz I liked the sound. Well I had to go in to work 5am and my drive way is in between my house and neighbors well the echo in between um was awesome I woke up everybody especially cause it was a chilly morning and I had to give it a little gas. it was hilarious neighbors screaming my family was wide awake after it was awesome
and the alarms going off as I was trying to drop off my gf at the time at her parents house at 4am quietly as I drove off priceless.

There's a saying that goes "If it's too loud you're too old".
I don't think she'd find any humor in that joke either though. In fact, you might find yourself sleeping under the patio if you said that.

I worked night shift and got home at like 6am in the morning. Its was priceless seeing the lights come on in homes as I came down the street to my house.

I had a cop show up one evening - luckily he turned out to be a car guy and when he saw my '72 Vette he ended up staying for about 20 minutes asking questions and shooting the **** (and we had shut down the car about 10-15 minutes before he showed up anyway).

Sweeeeeet... I thought the license plate looked familiar. I looked at your profile and noticed you are right across the lake from me.

I love muscle sounding cars with a strong exhaust note. But they have to be able to back it up. When I was a young man when things like Cherry Bombs and Walker Blue Swingers etc. were all the rage. Had a friend with a Fairlane with a 289 single exhaust two barrel, it just had nothing except a very loud exhaust note. I was never impressed...
In the now "Oh, now I get it" department," I had a very strong very healthy BB Camaro. Headers directly into Blue Swingers, no tail pipes. I would get up to go to work, (car had no choke, bad choice for Wyoming). Of course I had to "Rattle the Windows" warming up the car to go to work. Neighbor had enough complained to dad. I said "he is just an old man" (funny he must have been about 5 years younger than I am now). Dad said " One day you will understand how precious sleep is"..... AND NOW I GET IT.
.. So have fun, and remember, There is Time and place.

Thanks to my loud exhaust, I got popped for something, that here in California, is going to cost me a lot of dough and stress. And it was exactly, because they heard me coming from the other direction, that they decided to chase me down and pull me over, claiming, "I was weaving" when I damn know well I wasn't.
While sitting in the portable unit, they had, wearing those not-so-optional bracelets, they talked about how much they liked how my car sounded and that they heard me pulling out of the McDonalds a half block away... Bastards!
But I ain't going to change my exhaust either.

My mother is so conservative, my dad is a wildman....I heard her yelling as they were ripping down the lake this weekend in the Donzi in Maine this weekend - which of course was after she agreed to go for a ride after he promised to take it easy...she should know better after 46 years of marriage!
