I haven't had it in the Camaro but years ago I had yellow Mustang and a good Stereo that I liked. Going 25 in a 25 and had a lady yell at me to slow down.

Actually in the Camaro I've had more kids yelling at me that I have a "cool car".

He's obviously an idiot, but it's probably the sound that makes him think you're speeding. You could always stop and talk to him about it... ensure him you are not speeding, etc.

I would have told that cop yeah you sound like an azzhole. I know you're not an azzhole but you sound like one. As a matter of fact you look like a total azzhole too even though I know you're not.

I all for enjoying driving fast and while 5, 10, or 15 mph is fine on the highway a 25 mph residential area is where you should drive at or under the speed limit. It doesn't take but a split second for a kid on a bike or a dog to run out into the street. So in this case I have to say "SLOW DOWN".

It's happened to me a few times. I slow down to like 5 mph and rev the engine. Then I turn around and cruise back by real slow revving at them.

People that don't like that stuff do not want to see or hear it in the neighborhood, Sad because there are so many things more annoying like children screaming, bass thumping, scooters, hill billy chatter.

Such is life though and it does get annoying if people drive like jackasses in front of your house all the time.

Holy crap...there was this guy working on his mail box and I passed him at 22 MPH in a 25. He looks at me and yells at the top of his lungs "Slow the **** down"

Well I chose my fight option out of the fight or flight mode. That legit pissed me off. I went back and told him "Just because I have a loud car does not mean I am speeding. You need to pay more attention. I never speed through this street." Well, I guess he felt retarded and wanted to get me on something so he then say "Well, did you stop at the stop sign?" I told him "yes, I stopped at the damn stop sign. Have a good day"......frickin old ass hole.
