(does not reflect my opinion, just thought it looked funny)

Less hostile when in context.

    Cars are already subject to noise restrictions. So effectively loud cars are banned. There is just little enforcement for most of it.

    I’ll say that so much of this is unnecessary or even BS. Ban loud cars because they’re annoying, that’s all that is necessary. Set a decibel limit and if you exceed it then you can be fined. Set time limits like when most people are sleeping so you can have loud cars at some more reasonable times and ban them when people aren’t expecting stupidly loud noises.

      Most cities already have noise ordinances. But as usual owning a car gives you situational immunity to the law.

    I hope we outright ban loud cars, and give huge fines to people with modifications to make their cars louder, like my neighbour who is a piece of sentient garbage.

    Also, making noise reducing tires mandatory for cars would be great too.

    Also, to reduce noise of cars even more, we need to reduce vehicle weight, so the heavier a car gets, the more it should be taxed every year. This will encourage automakers to make smaller, quieter, and safer vehicles.

    I hate all cars, but since getting rid of them entirely is almost impossible, I’d rather make them less shitty.
