Loud Ass, Metal Ratting, Thump Thump Car Stereos

This poll was inspired by the passage of such a travesty a few minutes ago. The street is at least 70' from where I'm sitting, and there are two walls between us and it. The TV is on at a moderately low volume, the furnace is running, and I *felt* it before I *heard* it.

Odds are that the stereo cost more than the car it was in. I like bass as much as the next guy (probably a hell of a lot more than the next guy, actually), but after years of consideration of this topic, I have come to the conclusion that this crap is nothing more than the audio version of garden gate sized bling pendants, something to shout "Hey, look at me! Ain't I sumpin'?!!" for people who will never, ever have anything substantive to cause the world to give a shit about their existence.

It's sad...and annoying.

My, but I'm in a mood, ain't I?
