This is not a recent story. It happened back in February 2019, I meant to post about it, and totally forgot, until now.
I live in a nook of townhouses right in the middle of my densely populated quasi-urban suburb of DC. There’s a strip mall type building up a hill and over a fence from my house. Often, either around 11-12 at night, or 6-7 AM, but not exclusively at those times, I’ll hear a loud-ass 4 banger idling, revving, and leaving obnoxiously, or arriving, etc. They never shift out of first gear in the parking lot. It’s loud and annoying.
Finally, I decided to mosey on over there and see what I could see about the cars parked behind this place. I came upon this stock-looking RSX parked in a non-space. Other than the window visors, there was nothing notable about it from this angle, but I decided to investigate further.
A-pillar gauge pod! This is totally the car that bugs the crap of me! Most likely they are not a cop. Sometimes car people around here put police stickers or patches in their cars in the hope that if they get hassled by a cop, the cop will see the patch/sticker and let them off with a warning.
Then I checked around the back of the car.
Bingo.
Oh, and of course, I shit you not, right as I was typing up this post in my bedroom which is in the back of my house, I heard the damn thing pull into the back parking lot of the strip mall, idle for a while, and turn off.
Good old Farty McFartleson, still being ever so slightly annoying all this time later.

Judging by the amount of soot caked on the rear bumper, I’d wager there are no cats on this car. J udging by the amount of sound probably that muffler at the back is the only sound-reducing component of any kind.

M y cousin does the put a police sticker on your car to avoid tickets thing. H e’s a prison employee and apparently it works. Just seems like such a terrible abuse of position and blatant disregard of the law...

Parks in a no parking space to boot.

I’ve always wondered if you could seal an exhaust with expanding foam. If you try it just yell “For Science!” as you run away and you won’t get in trouble.

From my experience with that stuff (sealing mouseholes and making random stuff float) you most certainly could and it would be horrific to undo especially if it got into a baffled muffler - I’d say to the point of a criminal damage charge.
That said there are probably those who deserve it

I probably should’ve added a disclaimer saying I’m in no way responsible for any legal penalties for actually doing it. I’ve had to remove spray foam from a few “home repairs” I’ve had to fix, and it’s a nightmare when hardened.

But your honor some rando on the internet suggested I do it...

Don’t forget “for science.”
