Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

You really had me rooting for you until you turned to the dark side in the second paragraph lol.
Maybe instead of a muffler you could just install a muffler sound simulator on your phone or something and listen to the sounds quietly while you drive?
Maybe the boat owner could sit in the tub and wear a silly hat while he insists people call him "Captain".
That's what people who mod their muffler to sound fast or powerful are doing
"Listen to my 1988 delta roooar! It can go sooo fast roooar! It's sooo loud because it's sooo powerful!"
Wow, completely different experience my dude
If you like your car, you want it to sound nice. Not an app on your phone.
I know this place is very anti car. But like most things there's a middle ground.
You can have a slightly louder exhaust system that accentuates the good sounds of your engine while not being a nuisance.
I'm not anti-car a bit, I'm a mechanic from a family of mechanics and though I appreciate the sound of a nice engine running, I don't see the value in volume personally. Loud doesn't equate to running efficiently or having power (edit) all of the time.
I also hear so many at work that maybe it's taken the fun out of it. Nothing like having engines constantly running full throttle around you all day to make you value a quiet ride home.
I definitely get it as a car guy, I just have had loud engines bother me so much throughout life that I try and be as considerate as possible unless it's absolutely necessary but again I don't judge you, it's just not for me. Gas engines bother plenty of people but I still like and drive em so hey I'm no different
