I constantly point out to my gf how fudged up it is that we are just expected to coexist with the noise pollution of cars. Studies have shown its negative effect on stress in people and animals.

Wish we had it like many European countries ☹️

European here, I drive a Dodge Challenger with a big 5.7 liter V8. Also removed some of the mufflers so it's louder.

It's glorious and big loud engines make life worth living.

It just sounds great. I'm legitimately not doing it to be an asshole, it's just a great sound and I enjoy it. Makes driving a lot more fun without going fast/doing dumb stuff.

The way I see it, it makes my car more efficient at turning fuel into fun.

Put a mic my your STOCK exhaust and get an amp and some headphones so the rest of us don't have to deal with your childish self centered behavior.

"I'm legitimately not doing it" NO its illegal (though seldom enforced due to police priorities).

You have no idea where I live, what the laws in my jurisdiction are, or anything like that.

Even if it was, I'd be willing to pay the fines.

So you think being an asshole makes life worth living? What a shitty life you lead.

Why does driving a loud car make me an asshole?

If you are truly that stupid, explaining it to you would be a waste of time.

Because other people that aren’t you have to hear it. Noise pollution is real and constant obnoxious loud noises might make you happy but for everyone around you they’re annoying as hell

The fact that my car gets loud doesn't mean my car is loud at all times, and it doesn't mean it has to be loud in highly populated areas. I drive at night, on backroads, etc.
