Well, the original post is full with them apples and oranges. I got the loudest system and I like it, however I always do pop the volume down in the residential hoods (or when them cops are around  ) Now, I hate this cheap revving multiplied by the cheap bling-bling rap under my windows; HOWEVER, this issue should be primarily addressed to the development association or municipal authorities. Lowering one's car is different altogether; it def does improve handling and car's stability. Besides, ppl living in Florida do not have the snowstorms like the one that hit Jeizy this year. Some Forum members living in Canada don't want their cars be lowered precisely for the same reason. With due respect to your lack of sleep, your thread looks kinda out of place on the Forum dedicated to mods. True that many of rice mods are cheap, stupid and amateurishly pathetic, but following your line of logic, nothing should be added to them stock cars; after all, all them intakes and exhausts do pollute the pristine air of NJ endangering other ppl's safety and well-being

Farcus, I need to see some examples of "ricey Contours" so I can make some sense of what you are talking about.
PLEASE POST IMAGES NOW

I just don't understand this whole "Fast and the Furious" explosion. And it is sad to see this fad propagate to is this website. I have read this site for a while (mostly repair) and I have to ask what is the fascination with turning your contour into a ghetto ricer. Like the one guy who said he knew his car is slow but he wanted a spoiler to make it look fast. What is the point in that? That is like buying a corvette body and screwing on your contour. And to everybody who has dropped their car stupidly low and has to break for every dip in the road. Even if you have the fastest car in the world, a 4 year old on a big wheels could fly past you as you practically stop to go over rail road tracks. It just looks stupid. I have seen many pictures in here that beside the ford badge look like every single Honda Civic in South Jersey. Everybody wants to make their car look different but in the end they all look exactly the same. I am not a sixty year old grandfather, I just am tired of every wanna be thug with their obnoxiously loud coffee can muffler and $300 circuit city system drive around with absolutely no regard for other people. Unfortunately I live 20 feet off a major access road so I have to hear that crap all day long. If the system isn't blasting you hear the loud muffler even though the car isn't going anywhere, kinda like a girl stuffing her bra. All bark no bite. Do you want everybody to watch how slow your car is? I just needed to vent. You can all flame me to death now.
I feel like you have a grudge against a single type of car cliche. Such as the import/ricer scheme. Of course, these are the most common to have the "loud" exhausts, "booming" systems and so forth. But may I remind you that these are not the only types of cars that can be "annoying" or just plain loud. If your concern is merely about loss of sleep due to loud noise caused by an automobile, then you should be fair and include most V8 Domestics and motorcycles. (especially Harley's) You seem to be "attacking" the import/ricer scene and want to include Contours (as you may have seen them "riced" out) and not be general in your rant about loud exhausts, cars lowered too much and so on. Even Domestic V8 muscle cars are lowered severely to improve performance. Plus, any idiot can screw up any car by lowering it too much or making the sound system or exhaust excessively loud. Just because the majority of the "problem" lies in imports and younger drivers does not make it fair to only "rant" and point the finger at them. Lets just be fair. I understand your concern, but just like having a job, you have to work with people you don't like and also put with a certain amount of annoyance and stress. That is just how the world is today. If you can't adapt, then you'll spend your life angry at everyone and everything.

That is the same as someone making a V6 Camaro into a Z28 look alike or V6 Mustang into a GT or Cobra. It looks the same, but nothing to back it up. This "problem" lies in more than one car scene.

Like I mentioned earlier, the ones that are that low are either adjustable, and only that way temporarily, or an idiot got ahold of the car and just ruined it. It can happen to more than one type of car.

Not every loud exhaust comes from the "coffee can" type of muffler. Why is everyone with this type of car a "wanna be thug?" That isn't fair. Some just don't know any better and have no taste in what looks nice. Most are just "following the leader" to these Fast & Furious types of movies. They obviously don't have the $$$ to mod the car correctly, so they are impatient and do anything they can to make it as close as possible to what they see in movies. Hell, in their heads, their car can look like the ones in the movies themselves. I understand your concern about the disregard for others privacy and peace of mind with the loud music. I am sure you are referring to the bass carrying for blocks into your home. As mentioned before, sometimes you just have to take it. You can't arrest, turn in, or cuss out every person with loud bass, so you would be fighting a winless battle.
Not trying to be a smartass, but I am simply telling you that classifying everyone in one type of "scheme" that you dislike isn't that fair. I can't stand some of the "ricer" types either, but I have learned to just let them be and they'll eventually be emabarrassed enough to stop or it will grow old.
The above statements are my opinions.

I understood it wouldn't be peace and quite but the stereos and obnoxoulsy loud exhaust system at 2 in the morning get annoying. And all of those ignorant people are the people who rice out their car.

I was responding to the guy who said that the lowered car were to increase handling. Having to slow down for every uneven road surface I would think reduces handling. You should really read something before you comment on it.
