I don't even know what they're called, but I want to start a !cars. Because it would be so great to have a leftist space for car enthusiasts. Any time anything political comes up, you just get horribly out-of-touch hatred getting spewed everywhere in the comments section. People that have enough money to buy a corvette or used 911 tend to lean conservative.

      It sucks that people do that within earshot of your home, but not all car enthusiasts are irresponsible jerks. Also, the people doing it would probably like to be doing it somewhere they're not bothering people but drag strips aren't as plentiful as they used to be and have kinda changed into higher performance higher safety and higher barrier to entry places where you can't just add horsepower to your normal car and go vroom.

          are you seriously having a problem with people because they evade the police?????

          The backfiring sounding stuff is colloquially called "2-step" and a lot of people really like hearing it, at least when it's well executed, and the bass is probably also something they're just doing for their own enjoyment. The fact that they do both of these things in a residential neighborhood is probably unrelated to how annoying it is for the neighbors. But you might be right, they might be doing it to annoy you on purpose; and then you have to ask yourself what it is about your neighborhood that makes you a target to be annoyed.

              I'm really not; I just think you need to consider that these people aren't doing it just to bug you, and if they are, it's probably for a reason that might be completely unrelated to you
