Sweet sign!

I'm all for killing the speed in neighborhoods, I mean really who needs to do 50 down an unmarked street where anyone or anything can jump out.

BUT

15mph is a joke. I'm pretty sure most cars these days can't even IDLE that slow..

its hard for me not to go at least 40mph on average in my bmw through my neighborhood... which is actually great considering it can sometimes take up to 7 minutes just to get out of the neighborhood...

thankfully my neighborhood is full of long straight roads and the properties are large enough and there's not too many trees to the point that you can easily see somebody or something come out to the street from a million miles away

ok, here goes: the next morning the sign came down and trust me...EVERYONE wishes we had pictures of the f**ckers face as he ripped it down. they didn't put that up because he sped a lot. just because his exhaust is rediculous. no cat, straight 3.5 inch piping all the way back to his 4 inch tips. SO loud. older RX-7. i like deep, throaty, beefy, sexy, low notes produced by high-end exhaust systems, but get that rice rocket crap away from me, it sounds like hell. him ripping his cat out reminds me of a story...[driving2]

so here goes...a few nights ago i was driving this girl (who claims to know all about cars) back to her car which was parked at my friends house. like a gentleman, i get out, open her door, and escort her to her car. as we're walking she says something like "i'm really glad i got a new muffler because i got pulled over for it being so loud..." i'm just thinking...ya, i guess that would make it pretty loud, but it's a civic...i wonder if she has a cat (please tell me you know what i'm talking about!). anyway, i ask her "do you have a cat?" she looks at me all confused and says "no, i already told you...i have a dog." it's like..."no no, catalytic converter...you said you knew about cars!" *sigh* oh well, i thought i actually found a girl who knew her cars. but at least she knows a shelby cobra when she sees one!! (and she likes bimmers, duh)[thumb]

e30fr3@k, your story reminds me of a different kind of cat.
[offtopic]
I was at a party and one of my friends is telling us “you have to see this two legged cat.” Needless to say we didn’t believe him. Well as we go get more beer, sure enough there’s the cat. The hind legs are half gone. It takes a couple of steps and drags the hind legs. When we get back to the party, I’m sitting next to my girlfriend at the time and one of our female friends comes up to me and says “hey where can I find the two legged cat?” I look at my girlfriend, I look at her, while I’m thinking ‘what are the odds that this opportunity will come up again?’ So I say, “Every morning when you take a shower, I guess.” Everyone starts laughing so hard, she got mad, turned red and walked away. That’s one of the few things I couldn’t pass up.[hihi]

Since we are telling stories:

I kept driving thru one sub that decided to put up H-U-G-E mountains they called 'speed bumps'. Had to have been 8-12" inches at it's peak. Now, granted I was driving a pickup at the time and could have taken it without a problem, but I was miffed at the fact this sub had large plots with tons of room between the homes & cars and not a tree in site. Bastards.. so instead of going over them, I decided to go AROUND them. Poor bastards lawn(s). Even if I was in a car/bus/SUV/etc, I still would have gave 'em all a lawn job. Only one I've ever done...
