    Loud doesn't equal fast people

    Just something thats been bugging me, usually when i drive through neighborhoods i have people waving at me to slow down(?) im going like 10MPH, they think because my car is so loud im driving fast and it bugs me because i always get these dam looks! and its not only neighborhoods but rural little housing areas were the roads are small its the same thing, all these stares and hand gestures dammm... i mean im not stupid i never drive fast where kids are playing like neighborhoods... just a rant.

    well, you shouldn't bother the neighbors. get a silencer or chop the exhaust off and go back to oem

    at least people can hear you coming. unlike a prius thats stealth. I'm sure if a proper study was done, a prius has run down more people than cars that are loud.

    I really think Mazda went overboard with the grill this time. Reminds me of the Joker. "Why so serious?"

    i dont' think mazda went overboard. Its very mazda so now when you see that, you know its a mazda from hella far away. I'm also going to make a psychic prediction and say that hyundai will not copy this style which will make mazda style even more unique.

    I'll just say this. My parking space is covered, making sounds very amplified. I usually set off a lot of car alarms in the morning. It's like people don't set them during the day or something.

    I like my quiet car... I dont need to sound loud to be a little quicker. My intake is supposed to make it sound a little louder though. I go to school at 7:00am.
