For what it's worth, I think this should move to 'General'. It's tech-ey, but not a question/problem/etc., and I think most folks would get a kick out of it, and it'd get more traffic.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
