Do you have an intolerant assclown for a neighbor ?

[Kern Dog]

Car guys like me do not understand how or why other people are not into cars. I can't grasp that some people simply see their cars as appliances, a tool to get to work and back.

I used to live in a traditional housing tract with a small lot. I had a few cars including 2 on the street. I did mechanical work, body and paint, I cut up cars... never a complaint in 9 years.

Now I live in a more rural setting. The one neighbor I have is an intolerant scallywag. She is a seasoned single woman that drives a Subaru, if that gives you an idea of what I am dealing with. Loud cars seem to be very offensive to her as well as dogs that occasionally bark. I've had to cut up and haul away branches and trees that have fallen in my yard from her side. She is hard to look at, her face could make a train want to take a dirt road. Add to that her bullshit hairstyle and pitchy, nasally voice....

"...make a train want to take a dirt road..."

This is an excellent takeaway which I will put in my bank.
Thank you kind sir, for the chuckle.

My Old Neighbor was a Drunk and a diehard chevy dick. He got his S10 running after a few years (too many DUIs got his liecence taken away) so he fires it up, Sounds like total **** but he is grinning ear to ear and says "Now thats what a chevy sounds like" Glad. I moved away.

My neighbors are all sweet but I keep up the goodwill by fixing anything that goes wrong with their cars. My HOA hates me.

Had one...he never complained about anything...but the guy new everything about everything. You could tell this guy off and he would still come around and not leave. The jack *** put a face cord of wood on my fire pit at 2am as a joke...when the beer bottle just missed his head...he got the hint...thank god he moved.

I must be lucky, my neighbor is a drunk that keeps to himself but a good guy non the less. If I go out and do some target practicing it's not long before you hear him out there rapping iff rounds..... must not mind the noise

 

[GetX'd]

We'll see just how good my neighbors are when I ship my GTX out here this Spring. I have all good neighbors and have lived here for over 20 years. But I live in a town house with tough HOA restrictions. I'll have to keep it cool - which I will. Just hope my neighbors stay cool as well. I'm nervous.....

 

[flypaper]

i tried to be nice,then it got old,

"She is hard to look at, her face could make a train want to take a dirt road"....Lol!!!!

She had a face that would make a cadaver dog gag.....

 

[kiwigtx]

Not for much longer.....

bring her a new pair of Birkenstocks and you'll have a new friend!

My neighbor's neighbor was the neighbor from hell! He was or is a car guy but a certified a**hole.
We bought the place in the early 90's and got to know and like our neighbor, a retired posty. A super nice, quiet guy who kept his yard immaculate. Also a car guy who loved and restored mini coopers.

Turns out he's been in a 10 year feud with his neighbor and drew us into it by association. All started over some hedge clippings!

For the next 5 years, I had my cars keyed, my car's front bumper locked by this guy's trailer hitch, constant noise from a blasting radio, dog crap thrown over the fence, my dog attacked by his dog, etc.
We played it cool and smart and never really retaliated and eventually moved away. He was something else.


The guy was on a mission to annoy his neighbor in anyway possible, but his favorite was noise. He'd leave for the day and leave a radio blaring outside and even had a stuffed owl perched in a tree which drove the crows nuts. They wouldn't shut up all day. He'd come home and put a bag over the owl and the crows would stop. The thing is, my neighbor is deaf and just turned off his aids. lol
The crows were the last straw for us though, my buddy who owned part of the triplex with me, hopped over the fence and grabbed the owl, leaving the two feet still nailed to the branch! no more crow problem!

I could go on about this guy, but you get the picture!


We now live in a rural area and I still worry about our dogs barking or making too much noise, but thankfully, our neighbors are great and understand what rural living is all about.

Good luck Kern!

 

[Chargered]

Sounds like you and me have the same neighbor.

 

[Richard Cranium]

She is a seasoned single woman that drives a Lesbaru

I hope you don't mind me correcting the spelling of her car.

I just had this situation a few weeks ago. In October I got my Roadrunner back from the thieving business owner who we ended up getting tossed in jail in December and I've been waiting on the Florida States Attorney to finish getting their case together.

A few weeks ago I was working on the wiring harness when a "compliance inspector" for the town rolls up and says there's been a complaint that I have a "junk car" in my yard. He then asked if my car is driveable, which was a pretty insane question given that at the time the engine/trans were gone and I was sitting on a chair inside the engine bay.

He told me I either had to get the car running or I would be fined $50/day that it wasn't. I said "that's nice, but this car is evidence in an on-going criminal investigation and as such it isn't going anywhere until the case is resolved." The guy asked for any paperwork I had, and I showed him what I had gotten from the States Attorney. Then he says since a complaint was made, I suspect by the PITA old broad that lives next door, they have to take action and he said I would get a summons for a hearing. I told him I looked forward to it.

I got the summons a few days later, sent it to the States Attorney's guys, and they said they would handle it. I got another letter from the town three days later saying don't worry about the hearing. I guess the States Attorney read them the riot act.

i'm pretty lucky as far as neighbors go. they all know my dodges and some come to the garage or car cruises to see them. but, something i don't do is make a noise nusiance i do watch for their kids, and try to respect our local cops. there's a big car culture around here. it does help that the police chief is a hot rodder.

Bru, that story reminds me a little bit about the neighbor we had when I still lived at home. He was goof and complained constantly about cars parked on the street, regardless if they were in front of someone else's house. I had a 76 Dodge van with a 360, but I hadn't plated it yet and had to move it onto the street to let my dad in & out of the driveway.
One day I noticed a cop trying to jimmy the lock on the van to open the door. I walked out and said the key might be easier. He asks if I know who owns it?-yeah me I replied and offered to open it. He told me someone complained about it being in front of their house. The complaint came from my address? I don't think so!

We had three tall trees out front. This guy came up to my dad one day and told him that he had picked over 63 pine cones off his lawn that day. My dad quipped "oh you can keep them!" lol

Not the worst neighbor in the world but a pita to those around him.

Why anybody would want to live in a HOA hood, I will never understand? All they do is bitch about the rules of not being able to do this or that. I'd rather live in a Commie country than to deal with that sheeeit!

 

[mmissile]

I ignore my neighbors, and they ignore me. PERFECT PLAN.

 

[Gpuller]

Feel sorry for all you guys who have dicks for neighbors. One of the joys of living out in the middle of no where. Other than 2 miles of gravel to get to a black top road its great.

We've been pretty lucky. We have 2 acres in the country. 200 acres of protected wetlands behind us. An unbuildable wooded lot to one side and one neighbor through the woods on the other side seperated by our fences. We had one issue a while back and just keep our distance. They called the cops on us once because we were shooting off fireworks during our yearly summer cookout. Good thing fireworks are llegal. Cop was cool and said he just had to respond and there was nothing he could do.
My neighbor across the street is a Harley guy. Good guy, we shoot the breeze once in a while.
