Yeah, I have an old neighbor that I try to be very respectful of. He came over once and asked me if I was going to take care of my lawn. It was a little long, but he has a fully manicured lawn that he loves. I did mow it that day and try to take care of it for him. He is a vet from WWII as well. When I drive my 914 through the neighbor hood I try to just crawl as it is much louder than the normal 914. I live to help others..... not hurt them.

QUOTE(sww914 @ Apr 10 2008, 02:10 PM) I got bitched out by an aged hippie walking her dog a few months ago. I had just dropped my boy off at school and I was cruising up a small residential street at 26mph, speed limit 25. My window was down in my WRX and I hear the wrinkly stoned bitch yell SLOW DOWN! I stopped, backed up, and asked what did you say? She yelled I SAID SLOW DOWN! I said, hey I was going 26 mph. She said, AND ACCELERATING! No I wasn't! YES YOU WERE! I said, no, that wasn't accelerating, THIS IS ACCELERATING! I revved it up to 5K, let the clutch out, top of 1st gear, top of 2nd gear- 76mph, and I pitched it sideways onto a 2 block long very smooth dirt road that intersects the first road. I kept it sideways, throwing dust for almost 1/2 a block. I saw her a couple of days later in the hardware store. I smiled and she just gave me a really, really dirty look as she walked out. that's funny...not that I condone speeding or anything (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) T |

I started off telling her I wasn't speeding, she said, "Its red and loud so I figured it was kids racing around... " she appologized but I still want to drive by her house often and loud...

I fired up a friends AA dragster in the driveway of my old house. I waited until mid day during the week thinking everyone would be at work. Wrong! Everyone for 2 blocks came out to see what it was. Oh jeez I never heard the end of it. Made up for it by inviting the neighbors to a 4th of July party. All the guys wanted to hear me start er up again because they were all at work the first time and the wives ratted me out.

You don't want to piss off my neighbor. He is a retired Judge...
You know one of those "Here come du Judge" type of guys. Soooo full of himself. His shit does not even smell. He is so used to everyone in the county kissing his ring (or is it his ass) that he really does believe he is better than everyone else. A lawyer on steroids!! The problem is that he is still "a connected man"... Nuts, but "connected". Any suggestions on how to piss off a "connected one" without getting yourself killed (or worse)? dflesburg was going to moon him for me, but I talked him out of it. I did not want to have to bail him out of Jail. This was on a Saturday, and with our luck, he would have had to set in "county" til Monday. In our county, he would have been some big guys "girlfriend" by Monday. |

Gee I'm glad I live in a nice neighborhood. Guy across the street use to race in the Can AM series, next one builds airplanes in his garage and the third has two dragsters in a double stack trailer. Next door, Vett, Mustang gt and a Hudson. so no one cares when I fire up the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sawzall-smiley.gif) or play with little 914's. It's a real car neighborhood, absolutely amazing to drive around on the weekend when garage doors may be up to see what's parked inside.

In the early seventies, I had an old lady run out of her house and run me down, to tell me to slow down in my 1960 850cc Mini, my reply to her was dont you realize you just ran faster than i was driving to tell me that. She looked kinda dumb at me as i drove off.

One neighbor said it sounded "like the end of the world" and I proudly grinned as I poured her another...... This is what I did... My old neighbor used to call the po-po (cops) every friday on me because I used to race dirtbikes and on Fridays before leaving town to race I would prepare my bike for the event and putt (and I mean putt) down the street make one turn and back to my house. This was always done right at the noon hour to make sure I did not disturb any late wakers. He called them anyway. Here is the best part... I immediately sold my ultra quiet 2001 Ford F150 and bought the absolute loudest Diesel I could find which was a Dodge at that time (hell I did not even like the truck, but it sure is loud). Installed the loudest legal exhaust system on the market. But I did not stop there. Next was selling my quite Honda Magnum and off to the Harley dealership! Bought a 2001 Night Train with straight pipes (it won a loud bike sound off at Daytona Bike Week in 2002). Even though his house was farther down the block than mine, I made it a point to enter and exit the neighborhood the long way so I passed his home each and every time! I enjoyed the living shit out of that. The best part was when I put the house up for sale, that same neighbor actually HELPED me sell! Every person who looked at it he would approach at thier car and tell them what a great neighborhood it was!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) At the end of it, I won... Broke as hell from the vehicles but victorious nontheless. |

I am in the opposite situation. I live in a great older neighborhood where folks are very respectful of others - except for one. I refer to him as "jethro". He cant afford a Harley, so he drilled holes in the muffler of his crappy old Yamaha. Speed limit is 25 and there is a school just down the block - he routinely hauls ass down the street. He must be having trouble paying his utility bills as he brings home pallets from work and burns them in his fireplace - hell, they are probably pressure treated. He was burning them in one of those small portable clay outdoor fireplaces one day last fall. His side yard is full of truck bed trailers and other stuff that he like to talk about - there always seems to be "a plan".
The guy is a classless moron. We are thinking of petitioning the city for a speed bump or one of those speed monitoring signs to get his attantion - all because of this one inconsiderate ass. My 914 is running a GT sport muffler using megaphones and I can easily slink through the neighborhood at a reasonable noise level. |

I like to warm the green car up in the garage and then blip the throttle as I back out the drive. It makes every dog in the hood freak out! The Neighbors HATE me!

I had fun yesterday with noise.....my .32 caliber starter's pistol decided to wear out. The cylinder advance flange simply wore off from use. Good starting pistols are hard to find.
Anyways, I usually use a .22 when starting High School meets and have the .32 for back up if I have a misfire....so since it wasn't working I took the .357 as a back up. The meet was at a school that is flanked by two canyons. Sure enough, I had a misfire on the crappy .22 blanks that I'm using....Winchester makes the best ammo moved the factory and .22 are in short supply..... So I whipped out the "cannon".....Baaaaarooooom, that puppy went off and the whole section of parents in the stands said WHAT THE FUCH...... Best job in the world...blowing off caps on a school campus and not having to fill out paperwork.... |
