Does anyone ever do this?

I do something often while driving my truck and I figured I'd share it. No, it's not what you're thinking. Sometimes I will turn the radio off, roll the windows down, and open up my rear slider and listen to my stack sing to me. I have a short single stack that I can see out the back window. With the rear open, it is extremely loud. Most people would probably think it's ear shattering (it is) and very annoying but I can't get enough of it.

Tonight, I was cruising and when at partial throttle it is actually pretty quiet, even with the rear open. It's such a soothing sound to my ears. It sounds especially nice when rowing through the cogs. Then, when someone drives under the speed limit and I'm unable to pass, I will let them know what ear shattering sounds like when I do pass. Hopefully their window is down. My short turnout is right in their face. I love it!!!

Sorry to rattle on about nothing. I just thought some of you guys do the same thing.
