BG> Sacramento City Council last night passed an ordinance that makes any
 BG> car heard more than 25 feet away a ticketable offense. I don't recall
 BG> the specifics of the fine structure, but I think the first offense is
 BG> $250 up to $500 for the third offense. It's about time, had I known it
 BG> was going to be on the agenda, I would have attended. The fines are
 BG> high enough to make it a priority to the cop on the beat to get
 BG> revenues for the city.
 BG> I applaud the Sacramento City Council for having the guts to pass
 BG> ordinances with effective punishments that might actually get used by
 BG> the police to curb this problem.
 NEwaz=) sorry to butt in like this. and this may be totally off topic..
 But i think they should pass a law/ordinace  up here.. GOD it
 gets annoying with the people driving around with their windows down and
 their music justa blasting away..  mostly at like 10-11 o-clock at night
 when your trying to sleep.. also they should do the same for houses..
 since the guy across the street usually has his home stereo blastinga away
 too.. HECK i can FEEL it and my house is like um.. 60-70 or more feet away
 from his house.. mind you it's faint.. but you can feel it.. but you
 really can hear it, along with Everything else.. heh One day i gotta go
 over and see what he's got.. or get a loan and go out and buy the top of
 the line McIntosh house speakers, what with 4-12" 8-6" mids, ect  and just
 aim them at he's house and THEY are trying to relax..  but yah like laws
 like that should be out there.. Only time it should be allowed is at sound
 offs and such..  Well I've been off topic enough for one day =)  Oh'yah
 would you know how hard it would be to convert a tube amp for a car? heh i
 seen some cars in CA&E with tube amps..  i think that would be cool if i
 had a deep enough pocket =) since i'm a fan of tube amps.. but don't have
 one =( then again i can't afford a simple 2x30w tube amp.. why is
 something on a older design so much more expensive..
