We're getting some sort of midnight - 1AM race cars pods with no mufflers driving around town.  And backfiring.  When did backfiring get to be cool?  It's like they tune the engines to backfire. 

They wake you up and you can hear them and tell from where the sound is coming from exactly where they are and what corner they are taking, and the straightaway where they are accelerating, and the exit ramp 1.5 miles away that they are taking.  You do sleepy rough calculations in your head and figure they covered that mile and a half in what, 30-40 seconds? Can't come up with the number, but it's too fast, whatever it is.  At least the highway must be empty, so it's only the 2000-3000 people along the way that they are waking up as they drive by,. 

So freaking loud.  Who does that?

At least they vary their routes and I only hear them once every week or two.

As long as the traffic laws are not enforced. States vary on licensing.

We've had an uptick in helicopter life flights. I must be moving towards law and  order conservatism as my region turns away from it.

This part is *very expensive*.  Maybe this problem will soon solve itself, with a creamy layer of sadness.

You would think paying down that bill would give someone pause.

True words brother.
