Random douchebags roaring through the streets in their modded cars, especially after lights out. Don't even get me started on the folks who do that and crank up their stereos all the way blasting music.

I feel we should be allowed to catch these drivers, strap them to a chair at ear level of their idiotic car and have it run full throttle in their ear until the gas runs out.
