[asphaltgambler]

Thought about setting fire to Georges house? That ought to distract them!

G*dd*mn...........I only HOPE to have that much free time when I get old to obsess on such trivial *****

An 85 year old man shot and killed his neighbor over a dispute over how loud his neighbors car was. The old man told news reporter that he tried to be reasonable with his neighbor, even calling the police to rectify the problem, but to no avail. That his neighbor would become intransigent at times leaving the old man to fear for his life. Police and Neighbors applaud the old man for standing up and not letting some young upstart ruin his day. The killing was ruled a justifiable homicide.

lol... good one

With declining mental faculties, they're not the same people at 91 as they were at 72 when you first met them.

It's not your battle. Walk away from this one, keep the car and live your life as you were. You're not doing anythign illegal.

80/20 rule in my book, I get along with most of my neighbors except one house (private lane of 7), we are civil to each other but clearly I don't like them and they don't like me. You're not gonna get along with everyone all the time, in your case it sounds like the time to be accomodating is over. Unless the other residents start complaining, then the issue is compatrmentalized with them, let them stew. Eventually everyone will wise up and block their number and the cops will quit responding.

I'd hate to be a cop for reasons like this.

In my hood I'm known as the "Crazy Old Bastard"

The old lady next door ONLY greeting to me in the 2.5 years I've lived here is, "COME OVER HERE I want to talk to you." and then she tells me her complaint about something I'm doing. No Hello, can I please talk to you. So for 2 years I bit my tongue and just smiled. Finally I had enough...after she complained about the slope of some concrete that would have some water flow onto her property. I told her she was, "One rude old lady." and after her diatribe about me being a "Cheat for not paying for 1/2 a block wall they built beofre I EVEN bought the house." She told me I was a "Crazy Old Bastard." Mother....what am I going to do with you.

I live in the boonies so my family and I can ride dirt bikes, fly real and model airplanes, shoot guns etc etc. Recently the farmer who owns a the field that our runway runs along, sold a lot to a family member of his and they are building a house now. These folks are from the city, and I am just waiting for the first visit from the county sheriff!

Neighbors can really screw life up sometimes. It just seems wrong that someone from the city can build a house next to a hog farm that has been there for 30 yrs, then complain about the smell! Or a developer builds a sub division next to an airport then two years later the new home owners get the airport shutdown due to noise issues. WTF!!

i recently had a serious (300ug) trip and talked ot Jim about exactly this kind of situation and he didn't say feck the neighbour

I've got a nice stock Carrera muffler just sitting in the garage.

Of course your car will sound neutered but your neighbor will be happy.

Until he finds something else to b*tch about.

[CRH911S]

Take the Porsche insignia off and replace it with a bow tie. I bet that works. How else can you explain the Harleys being louder but not raising their concerns?

[Shaun @ Tru6]

Find out if there are any noise level laws on the local books. That will help in your decision on what to next. If there aren't any, get an MB911 muffler and test pipe, I can't imagine anything louder... or gooder.

We had a neighbor like that a few years ago at our old house. She must have been 75 and had cancer and was always complaining about the noise from the saws running (we were remodeling the house). She even called the cops once and they didn't really mind, but found out we did not have a permit to build the garage we were building. Since we were half into the project, we had to tear all of our work down, and that was that. My dad just obeyed her since he does not beleive in arguing and always wants the most peaceful outcome. Therefore we never argued once. We ended up just working quitley and selling the house about 6 years ago. B!tch.

I got a good one.

I live across the street from two female screwballs in their 60's. One has been a flake since i was a little kid and her older sister was just wild. The flake starts her booze before bed time so when she smacks the neighbor's cars in the mornings she's just hung over. Then she makes up her story denying the whole thing. She'll call the witness a lair and then leave in an angry huff. Other stories are on the same plane. I've been watching this act for decades. The other one is mostly ok. But screwball is really the proverbial screwball.

So she gets on a kick 2yrs ago that I was inhumane to animals because I let my cats out in the winter. I've been doing it for over 50yrs. Then she starts feeding them and brings one inside her house at night because he's so "cute". After me complaining about her bs she goes to the Animal Rights group and complains about the winter outdoor cats. When she was told that what I'm doing is ok she dreams up a new plan. She overtly tells me she went to Animal Rights and there is nothing they or the PD can do. Then she tells me she is going to steal the "cute" cat and give it to her girlfriend. I tell all to the locals and a local PD friend. Sure as -hit my cat is missing in two weeks. WTF.

Because this is one of those towns where generations stay I go see her older cousin. This cousin was best friends with my father since post WW2. I tell him the story and get the response I figured on. I know all about the "what can anyone do?".
Anyway since the meet everything ok so the cousin must have straightened her out again.. or is it again, and again, etc.

btw.. the cat was a $300 Russian Blue

I'd steal a $300 cat -- especially if its owner was negligent enough to let it out all night!

As for Jeff's original problem, maybe the old man neighbor complaining about the noise is just upset because he's never gotten a ride in the 911?

[Tim Hancock]

Animals live outside, they always have and they always will. Negligence? I don't think so.

[Icemaster]

Anyone who'd pay $300 for *******....

Oh wait, different topic.
