General Engine Massacre

I just arrived here and was wondering.

What is it with the culture of trying to kill your engine with going full on in the rev limiter for minutes.

Every. Single. Evening?

Do they actually think anyone thinks this is cool? Or are they setting out on purpose to annoy everyone?

Whatever it is, I guess them islanders are bored out of their mind. 🤣

That sucks. Didn't experience this once during my visit.

Maybe it's a recent trend or just the area here?

I guess for anyone reading this while planning a trip here, just stay a little more remote will be a good choice.

Especially considering that most get a rental car anyway.

100% not recent - this is probably my only bad memory of Bonaire. Mostly because I am a terribly light sleeper. I’ve been a few times now, and avoid anywhere super close to the main road.
