Isn’t the tech billionaire motto “forget certifications, let’s break stuff...”

Or is that just on submersibles? 

...Maybe?

Article conclusion really capturing that nostalgia for the life-ruining multi-level marketing scam FR. By Mary Kay’s own admission, 83 percent of its sellers don’t make money, which means, since they have to buy their own supplies, they are LOSING money. The actual numbers are likely far higher. Mary Kay and her…

Miata is the boring everyday answer.

EVGo will probably charge $1/kwh to use these (a ripoff).

1st Gen Ford Taurus SHO. You’ll have to try to get pulled over...

I don’t see why unmodified vehicles should be exempt. The point of noise laws is to address resudents’ noise desires. You can purchase any number of things that violate local ordinances, but like with speed limits, it’s up to the buyer not to do so.

You blatantly missed the concepts of “literal super = not made to be quiet = = still qualified to be sold in region X despite”

Ha, agree that microphones can be deceptive. My wife has an Apple Watch and with an infant and a 2 year old she regularly gets “dangerously loud environment” warnings when they get riled up.

Any Jeep that is modified to the point that it’s useless for most things. Huge wheels that would be terrible offroad. Suspension so tall it would be a terrible daily driver. So ugly that it’s not a show car. Why did you spend $30k making your Jeep terrible and useless?

what if your car is passing by during a pickleball tourney?

I was thinking of Tamiya’s The Frog:

I had the same thought. Most of that list was harmless fun. 

So, to the ban everything guy, why are you at a car site again? Most of what you hate is perfectly harmless. You’re getting your blood pressure up over nothing. Oh no, flame decals, someone call the authorities!

I agree overall, though i believe, in general, that electronic/technological means of enforcement do usually have pretty stingent calibration requirements.  How well THOSE are maintained/enforced is yet another consideration. 

Or have a neighbor friendly “Quiet mode” like your more pedestrian mustang

Funny part it they really aren’t that loud when driven normally. When it involves noise, I’m finding more and more people are getting annoyed at ANY noise above a whisper and that to is excessive and controlling.

whatever the occasion. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

This is a very slippery slope.
