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) |

I think my neighboors were pretty happy when mine went in the garage for the last time this fall (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Wait until the engine swap is complete even it there is 2 ft of snow on the ground I'll still be reving it up with the muffler pointing out the door. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) |

Ah man, you should have offered him a ride-along! I think after a few spins around in a V8 powered 914 he'd change his tune (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

I'm kinda sensitive to this issue lately as I have a 3yr old and also live in a neighborhood with kids in every house.
But I find it effin' ludicrous how overboard some parents can get; I've had "hand signals" waved at me and so forth even when the streets were nearly deserted and I was putting at 5-10mph UNDER the speed limit. Geez. There is a huge Sheriff station 3 blocks away -- you think I'm gonna drive like a speed demon when constantly surrounded by cops? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wacko.gif) Many years ago I had neighbors yelling "SLOOOOOOOOW DOWWWWWNNNNN" out their windows as our garage was off a back-alley and my 911 with Bursch glasspack was really effin' loud...I was only going like 10mph in the narrow, dark alley at the time!!! |

That is typical Clearwater. Old farts with nothing to do but bitch.

Ya If'n you come screaming through my nieghborhood you Might get a tennis ball thrown infront of your car. "Gee if you weren't going so fast you could have stopped" "it could have been my dog or worse one of the kids"!!!
My Male Dalmation was hit by a car last month (he's deaf) So he never heard it coming. DJ don't even look at the drive way anymore. If you got to run the motor go to a parking lot Schools out till next week. |

Yeah I had the same thing happen to me, cept my neighbor started cussin at me. Instant road rage. We had a nose to nose talk. I lived in an association and was already full of animosity after getting some anonymous notes for having friends over.
Being one of the youngest with interests in an area like that doesn't work. |

Exact same thing happened to me in my parents neighborhood one, I just about started laughing. I was wearing my 80's era Porsche Design sunglasses for fun and had my older sister in the car. Probably going 25...had an old Brusch on it though, must have sounded loud. Meanwhile teens drive suvs like maniacs around there, go fig.
