is it just me or isn't the number of insanely loud muscle and tuner cars on the road out of control in the DMV?

Every single day I can hear ridiculously loud muscle cars for hours on end that are probably miles away. Same with moronic tuner cars with their fart can exhausts.

The people that buy or modify their cars are often super super low class. They tear up the the roads on highways and streets going 30, 40, 50 mph over the speed limits every single day and make sure the entire DMV can hear them from miles away. These dbags are literally terrorists, so why don't we treat them as such for their illegal cars and illegal driving?

If anyone can hear your car from a mile away, it should be immediately impounded and crushed. The fact that no local governments in the area do little to nothing about it has allowed the number of drivers with their stupid and illegal cars to skyrocket in abundance and has allowed for all sorts of drag racing and meetups that endanger or disturb everyone.

Enough is enough already.

I hear you! (And them.)
I always wondered why certain men like that had to prove their masculinity with loud obnoxious noises on vehicles.

I honestly think all of the loud cars must be some kind of mating call for other men in order to attract them. Like gorillas yelling at each other, but instead of being a challenge the loud cars and exhausts are turn ons for specific types of men for other men. Low IQ is definitely invovled too.

It’s you.

The number is actually far diminished from probably a couple decades ago during the height of tuner-car popularity, which coincided with the first couple movies in the “Fast and Furious” series.

It might seem like a lot now - but only because you were probably 10 years old when they really popular, and weren’t aware of them.

The MD gov. just had to sign a bill outlawing street/drag racing because it has become such a pervasive problem. So you're wrong.

It's not OP. It's totally outrageous how local jurisdictions don't take excessively loud motor vehicle noise seriously. People treat 16th St in the District north of Oak St as a dragway. You can hear people gunning their obnoxiously tuned cars and motorcycles from a mile away as they fly up the road. Why is unnecessary and obnoxious sound pollution treated as acceptable in urban environments here? Other international cities don't put up with this crap.

No, it’s them.

We have lived in the same house for 25 yrs, near a large avenue. Since covid, the noise has increased exponentially, esp weekend evenings.

I have noticed that sometimes the cars are not actually going so fast as to be way above the speed limit but they are aggressively loud. Are there noise ordinances for vehicles and how would anyone measure whether a car is loud enough for a ticket?

Of course, many of them also speed and they count on the police being busy elsewhere.

Yep, we’ve noticed a significant increase as well in the suburbs.

There are also crazy fast drivers on 495 that will blow past you at 120mph+.

COVID stimi money + low interest rates gave a bunch of low income, low IQ losers enough funds to purchase all of these cheaper stupid cars with lots of power.

Yeah, sorry bro, no one is impressed with your stupid charger, challenger, or Honda Civic with a spoiler, lol.

Maryland was working on a bill to allow a pilot of sound enforcement cameras. I believe it passed the legislature and was waiting for the governor’s signature but can’t remember the bill number to look it up. It would allow basically the equivalent of a red light camera system but for sound. You’d get a link to a video of your loud car.

It's not you. I moved here recently, living near the Dunn Loring Metro and the street racing is out of control along gallows road. I've never lived in a place that's this bad.

It's literally insane OP. INSANE. VA put it back on the books that it's an offense yet do nothing to actually help the problem. VA and their FAKE laws.

This is the same where I live (Long Island NY). Feel like I'm going crazy hearing it at all times of the day and night.

Neat. Civil infractions that you won't need to pay unless you register your vehicle.
