Generally if the band is on the right side of 1996 (formed before) you're fine.

Obviously there are exceptions to this rule, but for the most part all of the actively touring bands right now are pretty good with the exception of Reel Big Fish.

What's the deal with aftermarket forced induction "backfiring"? A new neighbor moved in with a tastefully modded BMW-Mini that is admittedly awesome, but he has the drat thing constantly popping like a car in an old cartoon and it ruins the nice "stock" appearance that he has going

Cargo-cult modding nonsense. Sound like a Real Race Car (tm) without understanding why they sound like that.

The JCW ones do it from the factory. I like it, but also I'm damaged.

It's probably deceleration enrichment or purposeful throttle hang to lower the duration of the transitional lean condition when closing the throttle.

I'll set the building on fire
People will often put a blow off valve on a maf-based car. So that air that has gone past the sensor is vented to atmosphere instead of recirculating and then you will get extra fuel being injected. And actually just going to a free-flowing and less muffled exhaust will do that sometimes. I had no muffler on my old car for awhile (because it rusted out), and it would make fairly loud popping and stuff on decel. And that was a complete stock n/a car with cats.

Maybe you don't get them quite as bad, but the ones I've seen (and very much heard) here take "bit of extra fuelling" to the levels that are on a par with a coal-rolling brotruck. They properly bang like old-school anti-lag, to the point it's ridiculous. Like the old "ignition off at full throttle then back on" trick.

People do it deliberately to be noisy cunts, it's well beyond just a safety-margin enrichment for preservation. My opinion would probably be somewhat more mellow were it actually nice cars rather than shitbox barry'd-up hatchbacks. An Ur-Quattro doing it is good and right. A Corsa doing it is loving tragic.

I know Reel Big Fish is terrible, but I used to love them so much that I can't hate on them too much. Hell I still have couple of their albums on my normal work rotation.

I love the Bosstones. I saw them when I was a kid playing a weird music festival thing at Snoqualmie Pass. Since everyone was wearing ski/snowboard boots, I decided to stay away from the pit. I just had to look, and they are still touring, and playing a show with Peelander-Z on 12/29 in Boston, which would be an awesome show to see.

Unfortunately they're down to about 10-15 shows per year now, and are no longer the finely tuned touring machine they were before the hiatus in 2003. To quote Blues Brothers, "a band powerful enough to turn goat piss into gasoline." They really were that good live at the end of the 90s/early 2000s.

That show is one of the three shows for the annual Hometown Throwdown, which I highly recommend if you're able to attend.

Ska revival isn't cool you stupid fucks.
The bands are only in it for the bucks.
And if you don't believe me you're a schmuck.
The trend will die out with any luck.

The Bosstones are rad as hell. I used to go to at least one punk/ska show a week in the 90's and it was great fun.

So it's ok to use the "stop moving when you hear a crunch" parking technique now. Got it. If I had been not over the line you guys would post a pic complaining that my truck was sticking out a foot into the driving lane of the parking garage. Can't win.

You'd win if you bought a smaller vehicle.

I'm not sure what the current goon approved hatchbacks are though, might want to pull that up before making decisions.

I'd get it if you took a ding on a door, but I just don't get caring about bumper stuff. It's gonna happen. Maybe I'm just fully acclimated to parking in DC where playing bumpercar front and back to fit into a spot it took 2 hours to find is SOP and you either A) install a bumper buddy thing, B) dgaf.

I don't care that they touched the bumper on my 14 year old 215k mile truck except that it's the same type of person who just doesn't pay attention to any of the other aspects of driving or parking. Say what you want about me being over the line by three inches, I accept that, but at least I was actually thinking about other drivers and pedestrians in the garage.

That's because they seem to reproduce at 13, then get into someone else's cars without permission at about 14.
