Ugh, there is one dude in my town with this beat up old Civic with what sounds like a literal tin can for an exhaust, and the engine is tuned so badly that it backfires every time he shifts, which he does at the bend by my house. Which of course sets the dogs barking.

All I'm saying is, I kinda commiserate with the guy in that story.

Europe in general seems to have far less of that particular kind of jackassery. Better enforcement? Or are people just more considerate?
