That's fine, but when the testosterone challenged sit outside my house in a residential neighborhood during my baby's noontime nap and sit there and rev the damn thing for the sake of showing off, I'm going to get out my wrist rocket and attract some attention of my own. It really pi**es me off.

“Testosterone challenged”?
Yes. Everyone should exist it total and complete silence. Outlaw all internal combustion engines – cars, trucks, power mowers and blowers – only allow quiet electric tools – and then only with all our neighbors’ permission. Outlaw leather soled shoes. Outlaw aircraft below 30,000 feet.

total and complete silence are a long shot from being courteous to those around you.

Yes. Everyone should exist it total and complete silence.

Typical argument. Suggest somebody should live by some rules and there's always somebody flying off the handle with the direct opposite tack saying, "Okay, great!! Let's just shut down everything!! Offenders will be shot while their families watch....!"

Nobody is saying that all stereos be banned or the world should exist in total silence. Traveling in a car does not give you the right to be a public nuisance. Same goes for people on foot carrying "ghetto blasters" and people playing their house stereos. Moderation is the key, not a total shutdown.

No, that's a straw man. But saying that a vehicle cannot exceed 60 db at 50 feet is perfectly reasonable. I play in several bands, rock, jazz, Country and love it loud. At a night club, not practicing in my home in a residential neighborhood.
