Got a letter today that really burned my ass

[RobsIron]

Lets see.

This "Concerned Neighbor" calls you a "Nuisance"

Implies you are running a "Car Repair service"

"Unfair to the rest of the neighbors" (provides no signatures)

States you drive like a "Teenager"

You "wake up her pets and children"

Says you "Disrupt Everyone" (still provides no sigs)

Threatens you with "Further Action"


Otto, Either you're completely unaware and go apologize or YOU STALL THAT THING UP AND DON"T EVEN HAVE THE FRONT WHEELS TOUCH THE GROUND EVERY TIME YOU PULL IT IN THE GARAGE.

This thread is really bothering me.

This is hilarious!! I'm glad I live in a crappy neighborhood! I live in the inner city of Dayton where the houses are less than 10 feet apart, I got no driveway, yet I can rev the hell out of my 98 Formula and nobody would say a damn thing. Hell, I've shot off rifles & pistols in my backyard and have yet to get a policeman knocking on my door. (knock on wood!!) Im also glad where I live, if some "concerned neighbor" has a problem with you, they'll come let you know personally. I guess that may be the only benefit to living in an inner city.

I know why no one bugs you. :tongue:

 

[cabech984]

hahaha, you got me there. I never realized it. I live on a city lot, maybe 45 feet wide. My bro shot off his 22 Long Rifle about 2weeks ago. Our Marine buddy brought his AR/15 over & we put a couple into the hill Ive only shot off a 9mm pistol & a 12 gauge back there, but that was before I went into the Marines in 2002.

 

[JP87GN]

I'd put up a sign in my front yard letting them know how cowardly a letter like that is!

 

[GNflyby]

Hey Otto, I could have a few of my v8 boys pass by your house tonight, just to show the neighbors the difference...

 

[Otto J]

Im guessing who ever it is has no children,
Woud you put "Pets and Children"

 

[SGRIM]

Otto, I agree with you F'em! But if you get into a war with them be prepared. People are crazy nowadays. Once you fire that first shot back it is on for good. Or until somebody breaks down and moves!

Do burnouts in the driveway and fill the whole "hood" up with white smoke

Noise ordinances here get shot down all the time. They require a "meter" to measure the level. Funny thing is I don't know one local Dept. with a meter LOL!

That's what I did. Same type of letter, Later found out it was a lady that walked her dog. So when I was outside working on the car and I seen her coming down the sidewalk walking the dog I'd kick on the front sprinklers. And watch them pop up nail her and the dog. The dog would get all freaked out from the water. And I'd just watch from the garage.

I like it! I'm all in for the evil tactics, Just don't do anything that will get you thrown in the pokey! I sounds to me like they want to play games and if thats the case I say play ball! IMO that letter could only make things worse for them, What were they thinking? You would read the letter and not be affended and never run your car again or move out! Crazy people!

 

[86gngirl]

Ok, heres what I dont get. In one breath they state ;

The noise emenating from your cars is a nuisance in hte neighborhood

Next they state:

I have pets and children that are awakened by the noise and fear for their safety when you are driving around the neighborhood.

If they hear you coming, why wouldnt they move out of the way? They are getting enough warning that you are on your way. Any smart animal will run from a loud noise, not jump in front of it.

I say post a sign on every telephone pole that states the date that you will be running the car, with the times (from when to when) that the car will be running and what your intentions are, like a test run or trying out a new part,a joy ride, something. That way everyone can be prepared for the noise and safly secure thier children and pets. Give at least a weeks notice before the event. If you have to leave the car run in your driveway all day just cause you can. I'll even chip in on the gas for you. I do believe a woman wrote it. Men have a certain understanding with eachother. And I dont believe thier is children in the house of the writer, who puts thier pets needs before the kids? JMO.

If you're already being considerate... F' em!!

You should live in my neighborhood. All Car people.

Late 60's GTO at the end of the road. Trucks, sport bikes and harleys across the street. Porsche guy across the street, couple of ricers, and my neighbor who fashioned a paint booth in his garage... (stinks up the whole neigborhood)

In fact while "testing" one of the cars, I needed to use the line lock and the porsche guy came out to encourage the smoking strips of rubber I laid down (all the way down the road)..

So far so good...

Good observation. It's someone upset because you're waking Muffy with your evil V6. My neighbors are pretty cool about the cars, at least to my face. I could care less what they say about me to each other.

The teenager with his first car comment chaps my ass. I get the stink eye from people who think I'm driving too fast (I don't) because the car is loud. Because the builder greased enough palms to take the 1-acre zoning down to 1/4-acre there's nowhere for the rugrats to play but the street. Then you get the evil eye if you dare try to drive a car on it.

That really sucks. I'm suprised that we've only had one complaint and the guy actually came out and talked with us directly and he had every right to complain. We had just finished putting the downpipe on my friends TT 3000GT and did a couple other things and he decided he wanted to take it out to make sure everything was ok. Well at 1am he decided to go WOT in the neighborhood. That's the only time anyone has complained and my brother used to work 2nd shift and come home at 2 am in his heads cam LS1 with open headers every week night, and on weekends I would come home at 1 am normally with my open downpipe TTA. Most of the people in our neighborhood are pretty stuck up too since it's a nice neighborhood with a lot of kids.

 

[GNTIM]

in the early 90s my friend had a neighbor that would always complain about our "noisy" cars passing by his house. He would call the cops and stand out in front of his house yelling and shaking his fists!! This guy was a total up-tight jerk with too much time on his hands. One late night I backed my old 440 Super Bee into his driveway and power braked it out and halfway up the street:tongue: . Those marks stayed there for a year and for some reason he mellowed out after that.

 

[LV GN]

otto i would just let it slide untill something else happen's about it. no need piss'ing the rest of your neighbors off just because of some dumb $hit. if he didnt have the balls to sign it. chances are he'll keep hiding. just keep doing your thing and watch your back. i dont want to have to visit you in prison on the way to BG!

 

[Welby]

My neighbor's a cop and he has a Harley. Every weekend it's like a friggin' biker rally over there before they head off to where they're going. In other words, nobody's gonna say anything about my little old V6 Buick .

 

[SVORay]

I'm moving in a couple weeks to an upper class area and they have a HOA. I just ordered new mufflers, bullet style, for my 800+ HP camaro street car.


My neighbor is a state trooper.


They gonna love my ass.........

As an upper class HOA home owner, I hope you're not moving there because of noise complaints in your old neighborhood. I also wouldn't advice having that Alky Camaro over for dinner Those guys will be ten times worse compared to an average middle class neighborhood.
