Two guys across the street have been talking and laughing while sitting on their bikes for the last 20 minutes. Then they fired them up, revved them a few times, and took off. I can still hear them having fun 5 minutes later. They're not going anywhere, just enjoying the first nice day of spring.

Op post your car/bike/mobility scooter.

Would anyone care to park in a shopping center lot to go into Walgreens for 15 minutes while leaving your car and stereo on (which, since no one is in the car anymore, is on only so that others may hear it when they clearly do not wish to) with the volume maxed out and your muddied, shuddering bass assaulting everyone in the entire lot and the employees in the stores which now have to do their already irritating jobs and also suffer through the discomfort of bass vibrations giving them a headache?

Anyone?

If he waits long enough he can use his accrued interest from his savings to bring his negative checking balance back into the black.

you know what else makes your car faster for even less money? removing weight by stripping all the interior materials out of it except for the driver seat, pedals, and dashboard/console. you know why people don't do that? because the car becomes incredibly obnoxious and unpleasant to be inside. now try to connect this concept with putting a really loud exhaust on your car and let me know if you figure out where i'm going with this

i took the ac out and also replaced the windows with plexiglass so its even worse than ucan imagine

I take it you see your car as an appliance that gets you from a to b?

My next car is going to be a basic well used Prius of some sort (with cruise control this time) so yeah pretty much. I basically want the vehicle with the lowest cost of ownership so I can use money on other dumb things.

That's totally reasonable.

All I ask is you think of the "other dumb things" and imagine the most insufferable poo poo lord in that circle. That's the person with a straight pipe civic at 2am. It's some cargo cult fast cars are loud = loud cars are fast. Most of us hate him as much as you do.

clearly not a daily driver, a built car for the track/autocross/hillclimb or whatever is a different story

I actually like cars that are loud when they're driven in anger, a rotary above 7k RPM or a V8 at WOT on the highway is a thing to appreciate but it's not cool to annoy your entire neighborhood when starting your car and driving around at 30 mph at 6:30am

A word of caution is to be sure that the previous owner replaced the battery pack before you bought it. IIRC, a battery swap on a Prius runs anywhere from 3500 to 5500 depending on where you get it done.

Hell, the old Honda Insights from the late 90s early 00s had a little shoebox-sized pack of cells and that still runs 2000+ to change out.
