- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Can't you just put some headphones on and enjoy the sound of explosions?
Does everyone in a 10km radius have to "enjoy" it as well?
So you like the people who always use their loud speakers instead of headphones?
You do realize there are plenty of exhaust systems that aren’t absurdly loud, right? There is a whole middle ground between silent and too loud.
I don't. To me the exhaust and noise are terrible but unavoidable issues of a combustion engine. A fetish with it and attempts to hear more of it are alien concepts to me. I would only modify my car to reduce the issue and I don't know what you need to do to enjoy your "pleasure".
If it's not loud (assuming I can trust you understand what not loud means) how can you hear from inside the car? And if you can hear from inside, people outside can hear it MORE. So it's an impossible concept to me. Like enjoying hurting others but that they don't feel pain.
Or do you mean that anything below killing people and damaging structures is not absurdly loud and therefore acceptable?
Rather than enjoy something real, why not enjoy a video of someone else doing it? 🤣
I get the distance part, and I fully agree. I should not be able to hear your car from that far.
I like seeing atomic explosions. Surely I should be able to create one in real life because it's a total different feeling than seeing the video.
Your pleasure should never be above the safety and rights of others. I understand headphones won't give you the same "pleasure" as the sound of real explosions, but that's the limits of how you should be able to enjoy it.
