Default It was an accident, but fun!
Sometimes the loud pipes can be a drag on a long stretch of highway but they definitely are fun "in town".

Last night I parked in a parking garage and upon leaving set off a gazillion car alarms as I went by them. I didn't even mean to do this but sure was entertaining and put a smile on my face.

It's the little things....

Been there done that. It made me smile too, although it was probably frowned upon by the local authorities.
