So your "cool racer car" friends don't have laud cars? You're the only one? I guess you're the only cringe guy in the neighborhood than haha. Respect for your more considerate neighbors. You still sound like a dick.

Across the court. There’s a dude with a house of 3-4 other dudes. They have motorcycles. They are loud but no one cares because it’s just a normal thing in our neighborhood. The direct neighbor to me has friends with old school hot rods that come over to hang out often. And then there are my other neighbors to the left with trucks and ATV’s. They go wild sometimes doing figure 8’s on the Atc’s. But again. None of us complain because it’s not at all hours of the night. My one neighbor has an old dodge dart that he goes under bridges and does burn outs. But far away from any homes. So he doesn’t bother people.

I never rev my engine or do burn outs. The car simply turns on and I have a V8. So it is inevitably louder than a 4 cylinder. But I can make it as quiet with settings to the decibel level of a civic. So that’s what I do.
