Someone should invent something along the lines of those remotes that can turn off any televison, so when the idiots pull up next to you you could just shut em down.
It's all part of Karl Rove's Strategery.......
When I get next to a boom car in traffic, I open my windows, and whatever talk radio I'm listening to goes up to 11.
For sheer volume, Limbaugh and Savage can top Fiddy Cent any ole day.
THANK GOD.
I have a modest subwoofer in my car. If I slow below 40 mph, I turn it waaaay down or off completely.
Heck, cars should be built to do that automatically.
There is a college kid in our neighborhood that drives a 1980 something Ford Ranger that is all rusted and rickety. He has some serious sub woofers and a high wattage stereo. Hubby and I are waiting to see when the kid's car will start falling apart from all of the noise. The stereo he had installed is probably worth more than the vehicle.
Well, living here in Lakeland, I can tell you this, fines mean squat if no one tickets the offenders. And there doesn't appear to be much ticketing going on around here. For stereos or those noisy mufflers they put on the little rice burners.
There is an inverse relationship between the volume of the stereo and the size of the driver's willy. Which also explains why they lower the car so much. Not much chance of the willy dragging on road with these guys.
Did something like this as a class project/senior thesis in a design engineering class I took. We created an airgun that would shoot an extremely large capacitor with a magnet on one end and a trailing ground wire on the other. The object was for the charged capacitor to contact the metal on the car while the trailing ground wire, which flew behind the capacitor until it attached, contacted the ground and completed the circuit. Theoretically, the capacitor should discharge into the chassis and hopefully blow out any electronics. We had limited success. But still, wouldn't it be fantastic to toast one of these guy's stereo's...
When you literally see the glass vibrating on this cars it is already beyond annoying.
They are free to boom them on private property if that is what they want.
You don't have the right to make me listen to rap or hip hop manure in my car when you are at the light next to me.
I been at SouthBeach when one of these etiquetlly challenged stereo afficionados pass. The noise is literally louder than a crowded night club. You have to stop talking because the noise is just impossible to overcome. There is no way those drivers are going to avoid hearing damage.
I have 2 12's and a 1000 Watt amp. I like it loud, but turn it down at intersections and late at night to respect others.
Although drowning out 50 Cent with 12 Gauge is quite an appealing solution, too.
A rough rule is $1 per watt. Probably $200-400 for the speakers and about the same to upgrade the deck. So it's probably a 200-500 watt system he bought. That's pretty decent.
Sound activated spike strips...now that's a thought!
I've found that cranking up a tape of pipes and Drums makes most of the idiots turn the thumpa thumpa down.
Some of these are so loud, I can't even hear the ticking of the clock.
