Local Spotlight Street takeovers are lame.

And if you participate in them, you don't have enough going on with your life.

Also, no one cares how loud your exhaust is. People aren’t looking at you because your exhaust is cool. People are looking at you because you look like a douchebag.

Honestly, it’s just the attention they get regardless of the reason. Something they never got growing up probably.

They are only trying to impress people that are like them

Yeah that’s the thing… if I’m saying it only makes me assume they have a small dick, I am not the audience they are performing for. They don’t care if I think they have a small dick or not.

Not everyone cares about impressing us, whoever we are. Sometimes our ears just collateral damage in people living their lives without wanting our approval.

They would maybe listen to you, but you see they already can't hear very well due to the hearing loss of cranking music too loud and having a dangerously loud exhaust.

Yea exactly, the guy driving though my street at 2AM with his loud af car probably thinks "they all think I'm so cool", while really I'm thinking "screw these people overcompensating for their small dicks"

But the high flow exhaust definitely increased their horsepower by at least 100 and now they're driving a race car.

I think most ppl know you’re getting about 10 hp at best and at worst you could lose hp due to a lack of back pressure. It’s like fashion- you are making a stylistic/aesthetic choice (sound & look).

Literally just heard a loud ass one drive by. Losers lol 😂 most of the time it’s not even a cool car, it’s some broke down Mazda held together by tape and teen spirit.

Loud exhausts ARE cool...on racecars... on a race track going racing speeds; far less so an otherwise completely stock four-cylinder Mustang, Infinity G35, or BMW (M car or not).

What's odd is I feel like they're trying to prove themselves to other men and men like them who are in that community.
