I live in a little residential neighborhood. I leave for work and school at around 7:30 everyday. Right around that time, the elememtary school kids are out waiting for the bus.

My car has full 3" exhaust with a resonated midpipe, an just the other day, I tried going nonsequential for a short period.

Well, as I was going to work today, I see this boy (about 6-7) standing on the corner with his dad, right next to a stop sign that I always pass by. The kid was holding his fingers in his ears with a nervous look on his face as I was driving up. I was thinking "Is he doing that because of me?" I looked in the rearview as I drove off, and sure enough, when I got about 100' away, he took his fingers out of his ears. I broke out into laughter right then. I feel so proud.

The older kids always flip out at how cool the car is, but this younger one (probably in 1st or 2nd grade) really was frightened. Just made my day.

Ditto. There are times when I wish the FD could flame like an FC. I have a bunch of friends with TII's and the MAF makes those damn things run so rich that when they backfire it sounds like a cannon.
