My problem comes from our security guard at our office complex. His complaint is that every time I drive the Cobra and pull into our garage I set off about 15 or 20 car alarms. Some that do not reset very quickly. After parking I can hear all these Beamers, Lexus', Mercedes, etc. sounding off long after I arrive at my office on the 11th floor. I think somewhere in the garage there are a couple classic car alarms (like the James Brown version and one keeps repeating "Step away from the vehicle...").

I think it is funny but not many of my peers agree with me. I find that tooling along about 8 mph through the garage works quite well and I always rev it up a little bit as I turn to go up another ramp and I definitely give it a little rev just before turning off the key. Our security guard told me he liked my car but I might consider parking it outside the garage until I get some new mufflers. He told me my car was socially unacceptable. Last week I drove it every day instead of just on Fridays. I really didn't appreciate his socially unacceptable comment. I like it loud but ....I may be pushing my luck.
