    I grew up with big block Roadrunners and Chevelles.

    Last decade running around in twin 540 ci 2400 horse supercharged open headers Cigarette boats spinning 6500 .

    But God I can not tolerate Harley's, most sound like my lawn tractor with the muffler missing. Remind me of the ### hats running Cheerry bombs on their stock 307 impala back in the day.

    Now if you got a nice built one they sound alright , that is far and few between .

    My exs place down here on Florida is next to a recently busy road especially since they built a Hooters down the block.

    The crotch rockets running down the road at 55 in 3rd gear turning 9000 with a header is absolutely deafening.

    I keep a small fund, that I call pay me fund.

    One example was at the Phillpsburg 76 in Jersey off 78, they had a pile of rusted no parking signs, about 15 or 20 piled on the dirt. I put my drives right on top of all them and went to have a full dinner. Took two hours to finish dinner while lawmen gathered to wait at my door getting angrier by the hour. They abused me verbally and handed me a 75 dollar ticket for that outrageous conduct on that pile of signs under the wheels, aw gee... (Ya right...)

    I paid it 5 minutes after they moved on to the next offending violator. In cash. A small fund is good for things like that. You can build stories from that later.

    The notorious Georgia speed Trap known as Ludowici has a sign about 7×7 in one location stating Jake's are prohibited.$1.200 dollar fine.
