So these incredibly loud cars and motorcycles blaze down my street

[Orrex]

Each night between nine and midnight they go tearing it up with these thunderous engines. Aside from the simple WTF factor, I'm additionally annoyed because I always expect them to wake up my nine month old who will then scream for hours until he falls asleep again.

So, would I be out of line if I sneaked out one night and built a brick wall across the street? I'd be quick about it, I promise.

1. Do what I did.

I installed those tire destroyers which are operated by a remote from my dining room.

Only had to use them once.

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. Holy crap! How do those work?

What happened?

[Midlodemocrat]

4. You know, these.

(but I didn't really use them, only wanted to)

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. They really should be legal when used against assholes.

And we need to make "he was an asshole" a legal defense for anything.

7. I think so.

I think "he/she was an asshole" is just as legitimate as self defense. You killed him/her to protect yourself against their assholery.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. Speaking personally - those with loud cars or motorcycles have given up their right to live.

Go do what you want - the noise pollution bullshit has to end, whether it's boom cars or loud mufflers or other jackoff noisy behavior intended solely to offend and make noise.

Fuck 'em - drive a loud car, take a bullet to the forehead. No judge, no jury, no trial.

6. Nice! And I was worried that my brick wall solution would seem excessive

It's all a matter of perspective...

8. One of the many reasons I wish my car had come

equipped with a rocket launcher. Violate traffic laws? Boom, you're dead.

Just think of the energy saved when all those idiots aren't driving around any more chewing up gasoline.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. And all the burned cars and sun-bloated dead bodies would be a reminder to the assholes

not to be an asshole.

(because, of course, the cars and bodies from the asshole dead would be illegal to move - no burial by family, no recovery of the car or motorcycle, nothing; they sit there as an eternal public memorial to the dead's complete assholery)

10. Hey, crows have to eat, too.

That'll teach them not to be assholes.

11. I have a different type of noise to deal with...

I am in a garden style condo complex and thus overlook a parking lot. I don't have cars tearing up and down the street..however I have idiots who have "boom-boom" cars that sit in the parking lot at 7 bleeping am on a Saturday morning with their windows rolled down not thinking or caring about people who are trying to sleep. I soo want to yell "STFU" at them....:grr:
