Why do some guys modify their cars so that they are obnoxiously loud and can be heard from a mile away?

I'm sitting in my living room and I hear revving on the main road a block away, and 30 seconds later, I can still hear him even though he's traveled a considerable distance away.

and it's not just the loud engines and mufflers. why do guys put those enormous spoilers on their car and paint their cars garish colors?! it makes the guys who drive them look like jackasses. and also the headlights that aren't white. why do you need green or bright blue or yellow headlights?! and the tacky rims and ground effects. I'm sorry, I'm ranting but it's so annoying when guys think a car that deafens people or one that looks like a circus car is even remotely attractive. I don't get it.

i also think it's funny how guys think that putting $5,000 worth modifications into their 1995 Toyota Paseo makes it a better car. why didn't they just use the $5,000 to buy a nicer car and not add flashy and annoying accessories?

lol. peacocking. thing is I LOVE cars. and while I'd love to have my own R8 or Camaro, I don't think highly of young guys who have them. I tend to assume that they're trying to make up for some other deficiency they've got.
