I never could understand why these a-holes think other people want tolisten to their sh*tty music, but they play it at deafening volume. It can actually make your car shake sitting next to it at a light.

They get all upset if you ask them to tone it down, like it is a personal insult.

The best thing is to avoid their neighborhoods, but sometimes you cannot. I have found that Bluegrass music played back at them is a bit like shoving a ice pick in their ears.LMAO

Back when I was a youngster, I played bass. I had a station wagon. I had the use of a MASSIVE speaker for the bass, it was just easier to leave the thing in the car than to lug it into and out of the house. I had to fold the back seat flat to accommodate it. It was almost the size of a twin bed. I bought a decent amplifier and equalizer for it, and found that it delivered wonderful tone quality when played at a reasonable volume, which I preferred. Reasonable to me at that age meant that you could have a normal conversation in the car while it was playing.

One day I rolled up to a red light while passing through a sketchy neighborhood, and some nasty thug rolled up next to me with his crap blaring out the windows, giving 'you want a piece of me?' looks at everyone who appeared not to like it.

I put on Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and turned it up to the point where it was practically shaking the bolts loose in my car. He looked like somebody's grandmother had just decked him with a right hook. Even pedestrians were laughing.

It had the same effect on me as a day at the range without hearing protection would have, so I never did it again. Funny as hell, though.
