Drive it to the muffler shop, take the scenic/twisty route, put the top down
as well as putting the windows down. Put the pedal to the metal and shift as
much as possible to keep the engine 'on song' and make the most of the
experience. Local constabularly, hmmm - tell them you just hadn't realised
an LBC could be so loud and explain you are on the way to the muffler shop?
Or do what the other listers recommend.
