my neighbor is one of THOSE guys.

He has cars laying all over the place that he " is going to restore" but it looks like he has been saying that for more than 10 years. but I moved in and have been riding him about it every time I see him. and he did admit that all the racket from my garage has started to get him motivated. but Im about ready to ask him if he wants to sell his tools to someone who will use them.

 

ok I mean I moved in next door!

 

Good thing you elaborated we will give you **** on here, you may inspire him I know it makes a difference when you got a buddy or buddys to bench race and help out .But some guys never do anything.

 

I'm one of THOSE guys.........I need a team of willing hands.

 

Hey 48reo. Be cool dude. I know what you're sayin...but rather that "ride" your neighbor and maybe eventually piss'm off, maybe you guys can become good friends and help each other. If he was a HAMBer, I could see him posting a thread stating that his new neighbor is "one of those guys" that won't get off his back, and now he's tellin' me to "sell my tools to someone who's gonna use'em". It's not my intention to give you a hard time...just think about it. Rick

 

oh im just hackin on him, tryin to spark a fire so to speak. but I hear ya.

 

just tell him whenever he's ready to get something going you'll be there to lend a hand... sometimes a little help goes a long way...

 

Good man. A little hackin' can be a good thing. (I might've taken ya too seriously.).... Later.....

 

I know what you mean my neighbor owns half the block with 2 lots empty and he won't sell me one, they're just growing weeds.......

 

Be happy he's not one of those guys that doesn't like cars, but instead likes to call the city on those guys that do.

 

yep

 

CAN WE HAVE A BIG AMEN BROTHER! time to keep this dude on your team and with the hard times now might be the time to ask about a few.

 

He'll come around......

 

I got neighbors that moved in from mid-town. They bithc about my ild cars a**** other things like my not letteing their kids throw a foot ball at my old car and the like. They have a couple of junk late model cars in their driveway that they will never do anything with and i hope thye take them with them when they move. But they probably won't.

Oh and by the way mind your own damned bussiness, if you neighbor hasn't done anything with his old cars to date doesn't mean he won't. He doesn't live on your schedual any more then you live on his.

If he talks to you fine, otherwise try just leaving him the hell alone.

Sorry I don't know a kinder way to say that.

 

Help him build the mustang in exchange for the 57

 

Billy the kid said he killed his first man for Hackin' on him. You might want to stop now LMAO......

 

You taking pictures in back yard! Those Mimosa trees will take over. Ragging is ok for a little bit, but you need to take some cold beers over and instead of telling him what he needs to do with his cars, listen to what his plans are. It's easy to buy a bunch of good deals, but is sometimes hard to focus on just one project start to finish. My wife told me this morning that our yard is starting to look like a car lot! tnrotter

 

Ask him if the one just over the property line is part yours!

 

Have your wife bake him a cake decorated with an old car on it. Leave a Hemmings on his steps, send him a letter and invite him to join the HAMB, Send him some handcleaner for his birthday, just be nice to him..

 

Ya man, just keep on him. Eventually he will come around and sell it. I've dealt with guys like that plenty of times, and they always have a price....except the mean *******s that really do hold on to their cars until they die, always saying "yep, someday I'm going to fix it up!"

 

Sounds about right to me.

 

My intentions are good but I do agree that there is a fine line between what I am doing and the neighbor who makes it his business to see to it that all the cars in my driveway are tagged or in working order. with that in mind I will attempt to not cross those lines. but I might offer my help and tools before I leave him alone about it.

 

if a neighbor were to say "why don't you sell those tools to someone who will use them" they would instantly become my ***hole neighbor and get a "why don't you go F yourself" in return.

 

What about inviting him over to take a look at your project. "Hey it looks like you're really into cars. Want to see what I'm doing with mine?" You might get some help, maybe a partner that you all can swap off tools and extra hands. Or he may realize he's never going to do anything with that '34 in the shed and think you might put it to good use.

Offer him some help, ask him for some help or advice, ask him to go to a cruise or swap meet.Try to get that fire burning again. Sometimes all it takes is a friend to give us a push in the right direction.After all we are a brotherhood !

 

Think about it this way, if someone were to turn him in, he might think that it was you. I think that is why most of us are telling you to leave him alone or make friends with him and get off of his case.

 

well its not like he is my opposite.....I have been guilty of not moving forward on my projects consistantly. so I will put my camara away and drop by with a beer and an offer to help when he does start working on something.

 

Sometimes ya just need someone to play with. I live in the "wayouts" and I've had a keg of Michelob Amber Bock in the garage and who comes over? thas right, nobody and his brother. Its shop cl*** every weekend and I tellem come on over we'll do stuff. Nothing.
Go tell him what ideas you have and invite him over see what I'm doin.
Might just give you stuff cause youre happening with your toys.

Your neighbor has yard art.You should respect his decision on his decorated house.
