One of our suburbs used to have this rule. It kind of fizzled out due to unnecessarily large cars for a suburb environment becoming normal.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

"You have 24 hours to move your car before it will be impounded.
"You have 24 hours to remove your car from impound before it will be crushed into a cube."
"You have 24 hours to move your cube."
😆 I had that scene in my head when I decided to phrase it that way. Good catch.
God I hate the stupid loud vehicles. And it almost always sounds like shit too.
Be funny if coal rollers had to strap a giant diaper to the back of their vehicle to identify them, since clearly their lifted douche-wagon struggles with incontinence.
I like aftermarket stereo equipment in a car (mostly just like the feel of bass going through me and sound quality improvements), myself, but I'm not an asshole about it, I just blast music on interstates, and keep it to conversational levels on normal roads. If you can hear it outside the car it's generally too loud anyway.
Motorcycles, dirt bikes, four wheeler shitheads ride downtown (where I live) in my city every weekend. They takeover intersections and rev their engines. We call them "cool guys," because I joked to my partner that they aren't overcompensating for anything; they're obviously super cool, with big dicks, and happy lives.
Of course – fully agreed that something has to be done. Civilized countries, like Netherlands have "sound traps" – if a vehicle is too loud, photo is taken as in speed photo traps, and penalty is sent to the owner. Sadly, I do not live in such a country.
We left the first red light at the same time. I drove normally, you like an asshole, and we both stopped at the next light all the same.
Ah, but only one of you had any fun.
Your opinion is pretty popular. The unpopular opinion is thinking it's cool to be loud and drive aggressively.
People who drive aggressively don't do it to be cool unless they are teenagers
I meant cool like "okay". Like, "are you cool with this?".
Crushing a vehicle because it's loud is stupid and waste of resources. In a civilized country it would simply fail inspection and you'd have to make it not-loud in order to get it registered again.
