It is like this neighbor thought that I had no right to buy it without her permission!
Duh. Some people I just avoid. Like my daughter says you never know what some of these people have been through in their lives.....

I was outside working on my mint 67 camaro when this hick neighbor with a 70 camaro came over- mind you I never met the guy before, only seen his POS outside- Started interrogating me asking me how much I paid for it- didn't even bother to ask my name, compliment the car or introduce myself-
I knew where he was going since he stink-eyes me all the time driving by, I can tell.
When I told him, he said "MAN THAT"S TOO MUCH!"
my answer:
"SO? I CAN AFFORD IT. GOOD FOR ME."
He shook his head and drove off.
A few months later my buddy with a 70 Camaro was at my house- a 10 Sec car and it's beautiful. Same neighbor just marches onto my property and starts yelling at him about "how he drives it" and yelling at us like we're a couple of kids- It took me a second to grasp what happened but he marched onto MY property and started yelling at us.
Steamed on it for a few minutes, jumped in my 911 and drove over to his place and said "DON'T EVER EVER COME TO MY PLACE AGAIN LIKE YOU OWN IT, YOU'LL REGRET IT" Then I called his house a dump.
He called the cops, and the cops came over, I told the story- THEY LAUGHED- cop agreed neighbor's place= dump. Complimented all our cars.
Sometimes, you need to introduce reality into their lives. Fire back.
