VROOOOOM!, Just got stopped by a neighbor Options

[newdeal2]

Actually from around the block... chased me down into my driveway in his Hemi Pickup truck [this is FL after all] and said " do you know we have kids around here, bla,bla,bla"

I don't think I broke 35 but it must sound like 50!

I said "calm down, I'm just breaking in a new engine" and he responded "if you come on my block again I have your tag# and will call the cops". Man...I feel like I'm 16 again! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Going thru my hood I was doing 20mph and there were two cops talking to one of the 'bors. They both looked at me (lowered Jetta, rims, perf. exhaust, etc...they were profiling me (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) ) and one of them motioned for me to slow down (pushing hand down, palm of hand facing down). I held up my right hand, gave the peace sign, then an O, indicating I was going 20 and not faster like they assumed. Of course, after doing that I thought, "Crap, he probably though I was indicating two zeros/losers!". But they didn't come to my house -- about three houses down, they saw me park in my drive way...there was definite, long eye-contact (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

Also had the same old 'bor ask me to quit back-firing my Squareback when going by their house. I explained I wasn't doing it on purpose, that is was a carb problem I was working on, but he didn't seem to understand even though I was using language low enough for a 3rd grader to understand. The car back-fired everywhere so it wasn't like it just 'suddenly' happened in front of their house (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

There are five children in my hood so I'm VERY conscience about my speed in my hood as well as others I may be traveling within and typically keep my speed to 20mph. There are others that don't pay attention and do go faster...I've yet to be next to the street when I observe them of course (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) because I would NICELY ask them to please watch out and slow down (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

People who are rude about it deserve to get both barrels! Oh, Cabasa, at least you get notes. I get cops. Fucking old people with nothing better to do than bitch (and I don't live in an association, thank God). Can't even face me like an adult. I guess it makes it worse that I'm not doing anything wrong (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) . Luckily there are only a couple of them, the rest of the hood and I are friendly. All the kids will go out of their way to say "hi" and everyone knows if they need a battery charged or a tire filled or a frozen nut removed they come straight to my garage...so I know I'm not in the wrong.
