I remember having a fart can when I was 17, but I do remember being respectful around my home so my neighbors didn't hate me too much and call the cops. Other parts of town or in tunnels though I'd crack on it all the time! Where I live now is a very bumpy 5km road that loops back to the main road at each end. Very very bumpy with dips and holes from where the road sunk in. Where culverts are you have to go on on one side to not scrape with a normal car.
There is one kid down the road (I think he is in his 20's) that lives on a dirt road off of my road who has civics with fart cans. I think he is has a swapped B18/H22 in one of them and he may even be knowledgeable with cars. But he is always doing 80kph (50mph) down the road which has a deaf child on it, dogs that run loose, kids who play on it, we walk our dog on it, etc. Heck, my neighbor has a 9 year old boy who puts a wooden jump on the road and jumps it on his bike.
He lives with his grandparents and his dad is a well known body work specialists who worked for Honda and Ford but now owns his own business. His dad use to live on this road too but recently moved; I heard the kid lives with his grand parents as him and his dad do not get along.
The neighbors tried talking to his dad to ask him to slow down. Some put up signs on the road saying "please slow down for our children's sake". People have called the police but they don't care. But still he cracks on this car like he stole it every day, just to jam on the brakes for big dips he will scrape his lowered car on, just to then crack on the gas again. When he pulls out on to the main road all he leaves is black marks and hits the rev limiter.
......... All of this...... didn't bother me as I moved there two summers ago and kids will be kids.
BUT....... since he has seen the car I have in the garage and seen it driving things have changed. He will now do the following since last summer:
- rev the gas when he goes by my house
- down shift at my house
- full throttle through the gears by my house
- play loud music going by my house
He now seems to wait till he is by my house. If I'm outside working on a car he will do it and sometimes pull the e-brake on gravel on the side of the road. In the winter he will go slow from his house and when he gets near my house spin the tires in all gears (in the snow) so I can listen to the music of his fart can. I think him or his friends with him tried to wave but my face was like (what the the F are you doing flying down the road.....)
I guess i'm getting old (wait... no i am old compared to him) as ........ I have no clue what he is trying to do/prove. Any thoughts? Is this a mating call? WTF is the point of all this?
Obviously i doesn't affect me that much. Some days I think "this is getting old" or "someday he will move". When i first discovered his fart can music my only thought was "why does there have to be one of these kids in every neighborhood?"
Anyone else have one of these kids?
