I've never been cited for that, no... My only loud car is a trailer queen and doesn't get driven on the streets any more. I'm actually surprised I never got popped for driving that car NORMALLY on the streets many years ago because it's so loud.

You can make the argument that loud pipes save lives, but that's typically only when you're on a motorcycle.

Bill, when are you coming out with us again? I still feel bad about the mixup at the ice cream shop in Fredericksburg

I don't even buy it on a motorcycle: the sound goes largely behind the bike, which is great if you're afraid of being rearended but not so valid from any other direction.

I was mildly annoyed by loud bikes until I moved downtown and was treated to having one or more of those inconsiderate $#@*^&s drive by my house consistently about every 20 minutes, every night of the Republic of Texas Harley Rally. Last year, I vowed to leave town the first weekend of every June so as to avoid the ROT rally, and as promised, I have out of town plans this weekend

I must be getting old, b/c I've become very anti-loud exhaust lately, be it on a dirt bike, street bike, or car. All they do is annoy the general public for minimal performance gains, and create a negative stereotype of performance enthusiasts w/ the general populace.

My KTM 450 is the first dirt bike I've owned in a while where I've retained the stock exhaust - and I'm keeping it that way!

I am still kinda new to the area and have recently heard about that .... is it true that it can be your get-out-of-jail card once a year for tickets around here? ... not that I would need it....I can't remember the last time I was cited ... maybe 10 years ago ... Yes ... I am one of the blokes that puts his front plate on ... not really interested in being unnecessarily hassled.... besides, it is a barrier against a "Jamocki" that may nudge your S in a parking lot...

DD is a good "get out of jail card" w/in certain constraints:

- you can't have used it w/in the last 12 months
- it works only for moving violations (ex. DUI)
- there are certain limitations, like it usually doesn't apply for speeding in excess of 25 over the limit.

I know that I can DD this one out. I just don't want to blow that one just yet. I'd rather hold that card if possible.

You all almost make it sound like they could cite you just for being good looking in an S2000 ...
