We have the LOUD is better guys here. Motorcycles and trucks with super loud exhaust systems and an even louder stereo system blasting away. So loud even inside our quiet truck with the windows up it making a ton of racket. The super trunk lid rattling base systems have started to fade in favor of straight volume. The hearing aid market continues to grow.

Hahahahaha! As 98.2% of us know, long-term decisions are NEVER made when you're young and dumb. I went to so many rock concerts for 15-ish years that I know I must have some hearing loss. Wifey blames her hearing loss on the many shows I took her to. I'mma sure she's right about that.

As far as gas-powered vehicles go, when I had my Road Runner, I actually wanted it to be as quiet and unassuming as possible. BUT, if needed, I could pedal-to-the-metal and GOOOOOO! As a former governor of Hawaii used to say, "Quiet but effective."

Learned tomorrow will present a certain degree of challenge in my driving gig.

A certain former president will be speeking less than two blocks from the shop. 😣

That sounds nice. I've got 6 and a sub. Nothing I did. Just the RockFos system that came with the Frontier

I've never left a factory system in my cars.

Before I even had plates for the Ridgeline I'd already removed seats, carpet, trim, and door panels to install all my things. Factory sound was decent at low volume. But I like to be able to go to 11.

Wife's car is stock. I can't stand listening to music in there. Just podcasts and audio books if I drive her car.

Got done around 0130, went to the closed recovery unit to try to sleep. Right around 2am housekeeping came in with music and flipped all the lights on. There were 3 of them. I pulled back my curtain, one screamed and ran. Told them I know you gotta do your thing but I'm on call and trying to sleep. They were reasonably quiet then, but I still couldn't fall asleep till 4am. Got back up at 6, went downstairs, stole a toothbrush and toothpaste from my old unit, brushed my teeth changed my scrubs and got back to work.

Fuggin tired.

Good Wednesday Afternoon to All! Breakfast, coffee, range trip, quick lunch and picked up our older son at the Augusta airport *Hertz. He didn't fly, he rented a car to get to a meeting in Mississippi. Driving through Atlanta and Birmingham while a PITA, is better that flying into and out of Atlanta.

* his company uses Hertz. [barf]

I used Turo for our last trip to Colorado. Rented a Bronco for about the same coin as a mid-size SUV. Worked out great. The owner met us at the airport and we dropped him off at his house about 5 miles away with no wait at the counter and no shuttle to the rentals that are off the airport grounds.
