I don't think its like having a loud distorted stereo with lots of bass, those guys are just trying to be offensive.

I was gonna say something, but you took everything I wanted to say (and said it quite well, if I may add)

Moreover, if a guy next to me has a louder than stock exhaust system to where it sounds like a lightly (or more) modded car (stang), that person is kinda sorta inviting me to a race-- if circumstances are right, I will oblige.
