It was vibrating the windows... she yelled to my wife: why doesn't he put some mufflers on that thing!!! My answer: "it does have mufflers"... just not the same ones on your slow & over emissioned, bogged down mini-van that looks like a 8-person DUSTBUSTER. I told her she likes to scrap-book, sew, & bake little things... I like the smell of race fuel, burnt rubber & high compression motors w/ lopey cams... get off my back. She knew I was joking, but inside her I could see she had no idea why I do what I do. Case & point: we are misunderstood... sometimes outcasts... we make noise & love to go fast quickly... "the other people" will never understand us the same as a alcoholic does not understand sobriety or "passing" on a stiff drink.
