It's the same here . A neighbor and his buddy were sitting in a SILVERADO and pointed at the '08 3 door then started laughing . Probably making fun of how it looks like a clown car . I guess that makes us Bozo the clown .

Another side effect of aftermarket exhaust.

No more A-holes asking "Is that one of them there electric cars?". Fricken Douchebags. I hate that. I wouldn't drive a battery powered car if they were giving them away.

Bikers generally don't go any faster than the flow of traffic but they also don't get cut off due to the loud factor (Just my humble opinion).

On a side note. I'm a gun toting former Marine and a proud redneck and I drive nice. Rash generalizations are made by people with rashes.
Thank you for your service. USAF vet here, "ash and trash", yada-yada-yada. lol

I actually like the near silence of the Yaris at idle. It shows refinement, but I can easily understand wanting a louder exhaust for a sportier sound, and being more safe through application of the Doppler Effect.

They won't be so smug when gas hits a national average of $5/gallon this Summer. Just brush them off for the idiots they are. You will get the last laugh.
