    Default Super loud automobile sound systems and the urge to kill

    Having grown up when people were supposed to realize that they were not the center of the universe I am sensitive to disturbing others. I have never seen a rocket propelled grenade and wouldn't know how to use one if I had it but ..... when I am sitting at a traffic light and some inconsiderate idiot's booming bass starts permeating my environment I fantasize blowing them to kingdom come with an RPG. Anyone else feel this way ?
    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    The downside is you also have to listen to conway twitty

    The audio doesn't bother me too much, but I do want to launch RPG's at inconsiderate drivers.

    Just enjoy the thought that he's going to start suffering from tinnitus 20yrs earlier than the rest of us.

    Great minds think alike, if I don't say so myself I actually meant to put that in my OP as being my only consolation. I know they are trashing their ears and will pay a heavy price eventually.

    Jimmy, I feel ya.

    At my age (19) I've got a few friends that are as obsessed with their car audio as I am with straight razors. I personally hate it. Most of the time the bass is so loud you can barely understand the music.

    I personally would rather spend my money on nice speakers rather than a huge sub woofer.

    I hear ya! That really bugs me, and they're always listening to rubbish music as well. I wouldnt mind so much if they were listening to something good, but its always some lousy Eurotrash pop music or thumping RnB.

    And when did RnB stop standing for rhythm and blues? Apparently now it stands for rhythm and bass, hence the car door rattling soundtracks at traffic lights.

    My car stereo goes up pretty loud as well, but I dont feel the need to inflict my music on everyone else...!

    Actually, I usually stick on something like Slayer, Machinehead or Arch Enemy when I'm stuck next to people like that in traffic. Nothing like Angela Gossows screaming to drown out the sound of 50 cent (or as I like to call him, approximately 33 pence) being played in the souped up Vauxhall Nova next to me...

    Not blaring out, just enough to drown out the chav in the next car.

    Stu-, I agree, Slayer can come in pretty handy sometimes.

    This is the root of many problems today. When did this change?
