An Echo of Lost Thoughts

I used to like the idea of driving cars with an aftermarket exhaust. In a car with a great sounding engine, aftermarket exhausts helps the engine come alive. It makes for a much more pleasant drive.

However, nowadays I've noticed that it draws the wrong kind of attention. I'm not talking about law enforcement. I'm talking about other drivers who want to race you, or drive aggressively around you, just because you drive a sporty car with an aftermarket exhaust.

I'm not out here to race people. While I may drive my car spiritedly every once in awhile, I'm generally just trying to get somewhere. I'm not trying to street race. So lay off the gas pedal and chill.
