I'm not saying they aren't dicks, but that doesn't inherently mean the noise complaint is unreasonable. "Normal hours" are pretty irrelevant to people who have to keep unusual hours because of their jobs, not everyone has the luxury of choosing a 9-5 or whatnot.

My neighborhood has a fair amount of dicks with big fart cans and people that just like to rev engines. In fact I should probably be documenting some of those rides for this thread including the early 90's Civic hatchback with have the sides covered in the Fox racing logo. But is there any truth to the neighbors complaints about you idling or "leaving fast"? That'd be the only thing that strikes me as sounding inconsiderate, but maybe they're embellishing.

You must have missed the part where I idle by (both because I'm not a jackass and because it's downhill, so there's no need to use the throttle), and the exhaust was LOUDER for several months previous to when they started complaining and literally parking their cars in the middle of the road to prevent me from driving by their house. They're being dickbags. And I'd put money on drukqs' neighbors being dickbags too.

My Supra was fairly loud, but I tried to not let it idle too long and kept the revs down in my neighborhood. I realized what a dick move it is to your neighbors when a family moved into the rental home next door and all 3 had a different, loud truck. They left for work at 6:00 AM, 6:15 AM, and 6:45 AM. I know this, because each one would fire up their loud-rear end truck in turn and wake me up every loving time. This was not so bad on workdays, but when the weekends were unbearable. There is no need for such loud exhausts, and the trucks were pretty much stock except the wheels. Now I'm much more respectful of my neighbors. Also, those assholes moved last year so I sleep better now.

I rent the house I'm in and came in terrified I would be "that guy" because of my car. I basically idle/coast through the neighborhood and clutch up my driveway to keep the noise down. 7 years later and I've had no complaints so I guess it worked.

xzzy posted:You might also have reasonable neighbors who don't throw a hissy fit over the slightest inconvenience. I never had a problem all my years of renting but I have been a homeowner for all of 5 months and have been blamed for dumping garbage in the driveway of the house behind me and for blowing leaves into the yard of the house next to me. Both were false accusations but there must be some unwritten rule to Get the New Guy in close knit neighborhoods. Now I have only had about a month of decent riding weather since living here so my motorcycle has been mostly dormant aside from the odd 45 degree day here and there so I'm looking forward of a summer of dirty looks and angry letters when I start warming my bike up every morning at 6:15 a.m.

The first day I moved into my house, my parents were by visiting and the neighbor took a chicken out onto his driveway and hacked the head off it with a giant cleaver, then carried the headless chicken back inside after chucking the head and upper neck into my curbside bin. They're still the best neighbors I've ever had.

I know a guy who coasts his bike like half a mile down his street before he starts it up. He's probably right to do it, it's a Ducati with Termi carbons on it. You can hear it coming a mile away. But I feel bad for his neighbors who are missing out on the greatest sound in the world.

Can't you like call the cops and have his poo poo towed for parking in the middle of the road? Seems like a hazard. I look forward to when I get my bug on the road as I plan to run it with a nice open cutout header.

I can, and as soon as my yard doesn't look like Sanford and Sons, I will be doing just that! I just don't feel like dealing with the hassle and bullshit from him inevitably retaliating by calling ME in to code enforcement. I have under the legal limit of unregistered vehicles on the property but the headache isn't worth it, so I'm pretending to let him win till I'm fully legit and then he's getting the town on his rear end like a ton of bricks.

What's the problem? Those sound like pretty bad rear end neighbors. Raising your own chickens is the only way to get fresh eggs and I would sure do it in the driveway instead of letting a headless chicken's carcass run around hosing down the kitchen with blood.

Who in the gently caress 'announces' poo poo on facebook? Am I old for thinking that the people who need to know will find out directly, and the people who don't can get hosed and not have a periscope into my life? Are people that starved for attention? I also just realised that it is, in fact, a CRX with integra headlight housings. Dear lord.

I bought a pair of whistle tips off eBay that I was planning on putting on a friend's (auto) FRS that he kept bragging about because people would compliment his car. But, I'm not sure if they will mount inconspicuously with the stock exhaust tips, not fall off and create road debris, or totally piss him off. Is this a terrible prank?
