A car stereo that can kill you? Cool - mrlayance - 07-02-2003

To put that into perspective, the most powerful production-car audio I know of is the $230,000+ 2003 Aston Martin Vanquish's 1,200-watt system. Irving carries $80,000 worth of audio alone, in a vehicle that is worth, admittedly, slightly less than the Maybach.

Wow, I like my music loud... But not that loud :lol:

That is foolish

Not to mention, extremely annoying to the people that you're driving around. Poor neighbors :rambo:

I read about this a while ago. They can't even drive it. It weighs like 10,000 pounds! Why did he even bother? Because he can. Waste of time if you ask me. Think of the home system one could have Wink

everyone has a passion. Look at us, eat/sleep/breath the hip.. his isn't all that different. Of course ours won't actually turn your brain to tofu and it is slightly less costly, not too mention slight more intelligent.. hmm.. guess his IS all that different! but its his passion. so whatever.. as long as no one is getting hurt..

now, those kids you see driving around town with their $3 honda civics or their $40,000 honda civics (thank you daddy) with their eight thousand dollar stereos! damn, they get under my skin. Especially when I pull up to a red light and my daughters are with me and these pricks haven't a shed of intelligence or decency to turn down their mindless swearing crap so that the young ears around them listening don't lean every swear word known to man all in one stop at a fricken red light! THESE guys are a cause of road rage if you ask me!

I agree with you 100%!! :rambo: :rambo:

- highlander - 07-04-2003

I never thought of them as a cause for road rage but i agree that they blast their stereos too loud to get noticed in their little ricers and fart pipe. Most of the time the music is so loud all you hear is bass and you cant make out the lyrics. I hoping someday for a bylaw that prevents noise-pollution such as that, and Harley Davidson motorcycles. Those things are WAY too loud.

Yes, Yes, Yes...I agree again with you, High. I was just complaining about Harley Davidsons the other day...WAY TOO LOUD :rambo: :rambo:
Although, the harley riders' argument is that they have to be loud so cars will hear them, since they don't always see them. I don't know, I think it is just an excuse to be ignorant with the noise. Confused

There are bylaws in place for noise polution. My ex's friend drives a 4 banger mustang and has the thing tuned to the nuts. Unfortunately she is completely tone deaf and things her fart pipe sounds great! anyway, she got stopped by the police one day and was ordered to take a noise test and FAILED! so she had to take the car off the road. Funny thing is her car annoying as it was, was NOT near as loud as a Harley! Interesting. I guess noise laws are only for people who can't afford to fix their exhaust system and for people with fart pipes! Harleys are exluded.. nice.. God forbid your poor!

As for Harley drivers claiming they just want to be seen by drivers! I don't see any bicycle riders touring around town screaming loud enough to deafen a person so they get noticed, yet they are more likely to get hit! :?

I'm always astonished to read about the weird people living at the other side of the ocean... Confused
