Maybe Gothamist is late to the party, but we just discovered Bubb Rubb and the "Woo woo" appeal of whistle tips. Who is Bubb Rubb and what are whistle tips? Whistle tips are these enhancements to car mufflers that emit high-pitched "woo woo" noises, noises so loud that Oakland, CA residents are upset, especially as they are non-stop, plus mask ambulance sirens. And, thanks to KRON Channel 4, Bubb Rubb, whistle tip fan, is an Internet celebrity. His description of the whistle tips ("The whistle tips go...woo-wooo") is Reason 46871034 the Internet was created.
Check out the video that launched a thousand MP3 woo-woo remixes. Be sure to see how Bubb Rubb and his sister, Lil Sis, demonstrate the whistle tip by peeling out of the body shop and run a stop sign. But, sadly for Bubb Rubb, the whistle tip is now illegal.

I know! We're late to the party!
i don't care when this was - it's so funny. rubb rubb sounds like he is about 4 blunts and 2 40s deep
good one jen!
the interviewees are more frightening than anything else.
Can we go after Harley owners next? I hate people that make loud noises on purpose - my dream is to have an anti-woofer device that I can point at cars generating excessive bass, blowing up their stereos.
Yesterday I Friendstered Bubb Rubb and discovered that we both like Teaches for Peaches!
Billtron, that is hilarious.
Seriously. Someone should use the number of parody profiles on Friendster as a marker for fad-status. There are currently about 15 Bubb Rubbs on Friendster.
