Like most people who have lived anywhere close to navigable roads in the last century, I've had my share of exposure to various motorization centric subcultures. But it's not really a matter of understanding subcultures, it's drawing a line between letting somebody exercise their rights, and that exercise impinging on other people's rights. You don't need a chemistry degree to complain about your neighbor running a selenophenol synthesis in his backyard. You don't need to study the history of Jazz before complaining about them blasting Yamataka Eye at 3AM.
