Boy Racer
Boy racers refer to teenage boys or young adult men who drive vehicles modified with loud exhausts and stereos, or modified body kits. The general public is often disgusted by the noise emitted from such vehicles, aggressive driving, and conflicts related to the age-old anxiety towards rebellious young people. Cars may be cosmetically modified in an unlawful manner. Car enthusiasts who drive sporty cars, or those modified to perform better, typically seek to distance themselves from the culture. Responses to the boy racer phenomenon range from laws prohibiting cosmetic modifications to vehicles such as decorative lighting and window tint, restrictions on recreational driving ("cruising"), to vigilante actions such as spraying expanding foam into cars with loud "big-bore" exhaust tips to stop such cars driving around emitting loud droning noises.
