I happen to have an srt4. It's about the last sound I would ever want coming out of the tail end of it.

Idiots-

I think they are hitting the rev limiter because it sounds cool?

Otherwise, we being in the nucular weapon business - "ooh! more targets?"

SUV commercials where they tear ass down gravel roads and through stream beds in the middle of nowhere without a care in the world.

I have driven off road my entire life - nothing Moab-esk, just trails and unimproved roads, trucks and motorcycles.

No one with a brain hauls ass on gravel roads...tires get shredded incredibly fast and unless you know the road, recently, you'll be in the weeds soon.

The creek bed/stream bed at speed shots are just suicidal for steering and suspension parts and you'll be wet.

There, I'm done.

It's ok to do the creek bed/stream speed stuff....if you have a snorkel on your SUV.

^^^ Actually you need a little speed to push the water to the sides. Keeps it from pushing into your engine bay.

Just two pet peeves:
People who complain.
Irony.

[Baz]

People who don't do their job.

And because of that......I/we have to do it......in addition to what I/we am/are already doing!

Like regulations that ban "mis-information" because they don't agree with it!

people that park their shopping cart in the store aisle so that they can talk on their cell phone about something they are supposed to buy.
The cart blocks all others.

They are oblivious to anything like that here...they just move over to the side and leave their cart in the aisle.

Plus the ones pushing their carts down the wrong side of a two-way aisle.
Are they from England???

I see a marketing opportunity here with a QR code t-shirt spelling out your thoughts which I agree with 100%

I smile and say firmly its just like driving, get on your side of the road or get out of the way. They move and smile back.

My Asian friend wont put up with any of it. She will take your cart and boogie parking it three isles over.
