Never Show Off Your Exhaust Like an Idiot

I get it, you got your new exhaust and you want the world to know.

Last night I was with my friend, coming out of a sushi place, and this guy in his BMW 328i with his gf and an aftermarket exhaust that sounded much like my ATLP quads.

The outdoor parking lot was tiny, i mean maybe 30 cars max. And he's driving in circles... looking for a parking space perhaps? No, many free parking spaces. He would speed up for 3 seconds, turn, speed up turn speed up turn. Driving in circles for about 10 times.

I got into my TL and as he stepped out, I gunned it past him out. THERE! I got one too. But I don't drive like a circus monkey.

I saw a monkey driving around in circles trying to let the world know that this monkey has and exhaust system. I saw another monkey gunned by the other monkey to let that monkey know that he has a exhaust system too. So with all these monkeys around.... does this mean monkey business.........

I hate people like that... There's this douchebag that lives in my building who drives a Celica with a really loud muffler, the thing sounds about as powerful as a weedwacker and he always revs the shit out of it and he comes and goes like 50 times throughout the day, I think the guy does nothing except drives around all day long. Fuckin hate him. He has the ugliest girlfriend too, this short overtanned brunette that looks sort of like snooki.

Yes I agree with most people except the ones calling me circus monkey. I would rather consider myself a Zoo Panda.

Anyway, a nice exhaust is good, gunning it in a tunnel is alright, if done in moderation, but driving in circles and revving is idiotic.

Another example.

This Z370 at a supermarket parking lot. Now I am no expert at manual cars, maybe Justnspace can pitch in on this since he owns a manual and most likely does this.

THis guy as he is backing out of a parking spot in the middle of a crowded parking lot, he would rev his engine like 10 times before going forward. So he put it in neutral I suspect and started revving... then at every stop, he would rev up his engine at a stop light, chirp the tires, then stops again becaues the light ain't green yet.

So yes, thank you sir, you are proving that you have a MANUAL transmission. There are other ways of proving it by driving normally, but you have been classifed as a CIRCUS MONKEY.

You don't have to put a manual in neutral to rev it.

I rather hear my engine and not some lame exhaust on my TL just my opinion. I think more people should have got a honda accord to "tune & rice" up...subtle rumble is fine(j-pipe) but isnt the TL considered a luxury car? Just saying.

WTF is a clutch? On my TL, I just push it into / pull it out of gear and aside from some harsh grinding, I think I'm getting good at it. NICE-A SHIFT-A!!!!!
