I had a neighbor complaining about loud engines and too many cars at the last meet I had... thing was, it was 100 yards behind the house in the Oakley public park, and nobody I was with was revving their engines. We had some F-body boys see all the Honduhs and pull into the parking lot to do burnouts and act like mullets. I got to talk to the property manager and the owner of the house I was leasing at the time, and explained what a ---- the lady who complainted was. One of the few times I've ever been profiled as a "car enthusiast," and still believed when I explain that every backfire or loud muffler from the cars passing on the street is not my fault.

Kinda funny, since I came and went for a couple years, with an open downpipe on an extremely loud car, at all hours of the day and night, and no complaints about that. My CRX at 1500-2000 rpms was louder than either of the F-bodies doing burnouts that were 100 yards away. :S

Me!

It's a bit of a drive, but you're welcome to come. It'd almost be an honor...

Yeah, but you could help me figure out why the B7 pig of a sedan won't run with Crome, won't even turn over more than twice, but runs perfectly with Uberdata. :S

i got a few stories about my next door neighbor....last summer my parents went to vegas so i had the house to myself for a week, so me and like 5 of my buddies decide to hold late night bbq's....nothing much, juss chill on the back patio and eat burgers and bs...nothing too loud, i made sure my friends were quiet....well one of the nights the husband next door got up at 4:30am to go to work and looked pissed, we juss said "hi" and he juss glared at us, so we offered him a steak, ---- he looked puzzled after that, then he proceded to burn out out of his driveway...he continued to do this untill a month ago....well the best part about this is the guy ran into my parents at a dealership and felt obligated to tell them i was having huge parties and was blaring music really loud....my parents asked me about it and i told them what really happened, and my dad called the guy an ass hat, it was funny.....well another incident about a month ago....i picked up my cbr 600f2 and got it home at like 9pm and my buddy decides to see if it can do a wheelie, so he gets on it and cranks on it down the street...it did one fine, then he turns around and cranks on it again, all of a sudden my neighbor yells "turn the ------ bike off, i'm try'n to get some god damn sleep!"....so i yell back with "stop burnin out at 4:30am and this wont happen in your driveway at 1am"....sure enough the guy stopped burnin out when he leaves for work in the morning

i hate neighbors that have no life so they bitch and complain about everything....i say make their lives hell, burn out in their driveways....lolz
