I would wait for the letter first, to see what it says. Then I would tell him to go fuck himself if he dosen't like and throw a killer hot rod/biker BBQ. You should remind him that you're the mellow, sane one out of all your friends so that he'll lucky later that you let him keep his teeth.You were there first and you'll probably be there long after he's gone. Peteynj has a crotchety old fuck on his block that bitched about his wrenching at 7pm on a weds. He simply told him to get out of his driveway before he had an accident and told him that he hadn't seen shit yet.Now we all meet at his place for any runs. Nothing like open lakes headers at 7 O'clock sunday morning. Rise and shine motherfucker!! When they see a bunch of dirty, tattooed hooligans in street they shut the hell up fast! Are we invited to the BBQ now? MIKE.
Something similar happened to me. When I lived in Downey,I had an Elcamino that would shake the ground so much,it would set off all the alarms in the neighborhood at once. This guy across the street would call the cops all the time,especially when I would leave at 4AM to go to work. So I acted like I didn't know who was calling,and took a bat over to his house and told him "can you believe some asshole is calling the cops on me about my car? I'm gonna find out and F*** him up good!" He said "thats messed up,can you believe some people". Never got another call from the Police. I'm up for a road trip.San Diego bar-b-que sounds good.Imagine about 50 Hotrods out front of ALL the neighbors houses. Start making plans,we'll come! "IF YOU COOK IT,THEY WILL COME" Field of grease
I moved up here from California...YES they hate me here cause of that ..but My neighbors are cool..."Mary" next door....the coolest... I had a survey done for my garage project, found out the fence wasn't quite on the property line ...matter of fact toward the back of the lot it was off by almost 6'...Mary said take it sweetie I don't need it...My point I guess is just go down the street and punch that fuck in the throat...
we had a dude that live across the street from me, didnt seeme to like me going out to my car to listen to music at 10:00pm, or the roar of the 56, or that we cut across his yard so he wouldnt see my friend dana in the back seat after lossing a game of padidlle, (poor girl, haha), well now we have a 20-somethin couple that partys harder then i do. plus yells hell yeah from his house when the 56 roars. but he still drives a new civic hatchback, so i think he is weird
I heard this on ham radio one night: "Keep it up.............you'll be pickin' teeth outa your shit for the next three weeks!" I don't know why that struck me as so funny. You had to hear the delivery. 49Lincoln
why bother with BBQ's,bikers/hotrodders, punching his lights out or all the other so-called helpful suggestions this thread contains? Do what my neighbor Bob(name changed)did back in the eighties. The couple next to him was always running their mouths and calling the cops for his late night comings and goings. Husband was the worst. Always spouting off and would park his truck so Bob had a hell of time getting out of his driveway. After about 3 months of this shit, Bob knocked on the assholes door and blew his head off with a 12guage. Woulda shot the wife too but she wasn't home. Up side...it straightened up the neighborhood real quick. Downside... Bob might see the free light of day about about 2010.
My neighbour complained to me about starting my boat in the driveway, 320hp 350 with no mufflers. I explained to him that if I don't keep it running during the winter it could seize up & cost me big $$$. I showed him the boat, and now he's cool. Mind u I don't do it at 6am on sunday either.
hey I feel your pain I am in La mesa san diego county Have had a few calls made to the sheriff about noise n junk too not too much teeth in most of the chicken shit laws pretty easy to calm things down always ask who turned ya in so you can get even generally the pigs tell the informant to watch out for ya after that moved here from a HOA rancho compacto area because of assholes complaining about my cars and garage door being open wait n see then act accordingly Ken
I wouldn't worry about it until I got the letter. Then I'd check out the law, hell invite the inspector over, if I need to make something legal, make it legal, and leave it. The best revenge is when they can whine all they want and the law can't touch you and you can rub it in their faces by leaving vehciles where they can see them all the time, etc. -
from past expierence I've found that once the city gets on your ass they seldom stop. I don't know where you found out about a letter but I'd backtrack the source and try a diplomatic approach first and try to nip it in the bud. ask if there is a problem and what possible solution would please them. if that doesn't work I'd move to intimadation maybe mention "someone wants to trade a Pug eating Pit Bull for your Hot Rod "
Ca Vehicle Code Section 5051 and 5052 5052 states- Except as otherwise provided by local ordinance, a collector may maintain one or more vehicles described in Section 5051, whether currently licensed or unlicensed, or whether operable or non-operable, in outdoor storage on private property,if every such vehicle and outdoor storage area is maintained in such manner as not to constitute a health hazard and is located away from public view, by means of a suitable fence, trees, shrubbery, opaque covering, or other appropriate means.
If it's just a letter I'd throw it in the circular file and forget about it. Then I'd throw a few ex-lax hot dogs into thier back yard.
What ya' do here is call them up at 3am several nights in a row to let them know their dogs are barking. Do it with a throw away cell phone. If that doesn't work, call the cops and have them witness it at 3am in the morning. If that doesn't work park you car in front of their house at 3am and rev the sucker up. Really give'm something to complain about.
The Hatfields and McCoys were a famous fued, neighborhood arguments normally lead to more trouble than worth or benefit. They played there card with the law, stay there , from what you have said there is not much they can do to ya, the car is currently licensed in CA and is operable it can park on street for 72 hours, in your garage or back yard indefinitely. The only thing I see is if you live in one of these upty gated community's or a place that has one of those homeowner assciation things where you pay fees and signed a contract.
SamIyam, I think you are being entirely too hard on those Homeowners Associations. I mean those "good folk" have banded together to keep..........well to keep people like ME away!!!!! And that works JUST fine for me - I want nothing to do with them!!! Ok - guess we DO agree!! Seriously, though a similar thing happend to me. Cops "hassled me" - followed me - even called me on the phone - so I eventually approached the people. Of course I previously turned into a BIG asshole and asked them how they liked the results of getting the cops involved. They didn't. I went on to tell them they could expect things to get far worse IF they continued along their path. It was entirely up to them - OR they could grow a pair and come over and talk with me - adult like. My purpose in life isn't to piss people off, but if you're gonna hand me some - expect some back - alot more back!!! This also worked with a "problem" neighor of mine. She called the city on me every chance she got. She even made stuff up. I eventually confronted her (after determining SHE was the one) and told her if she wanted to spend the rest of her life going "tit for tat" - that I would gladly oblige. I also told her no matter WHO calls on me the next time that I was gonna have the city out to inpspect HER place too. Funny the "problem" went away after that. Later her husband came over to apologize. which was way cool because I really get along with him and LIFE is way nicer IF your neighbors are decent. Walk softly - but carry a big stick. Good advice for sure.
hey, yeah like everyone else said they cant do anything, but lets see a pic of your car... maybe thats the reason they called the city
Hey Mozdef. I'm just wondering, is your car legal? Are you running mufflers or driving around with open zoomies?
I had a run in with one neighbor over grass clippings of all things. I ended the whole conversation by telling her that I was here before her and I'll be here after her and that she better learn to live with that fact. Four months later a for sale sign went up in here yard. That same week she started giving me shit again and I simply asked her how bad does she want to sell her house because I'm always home when the realtor shows it and she's not. She was gone in two days. I heard that she moved in with her boyfriend and the house sold about a month later. New neighbors are GREAT! In a nutshell remind them that you could very easily out last them and that what ever is tweeking their nipples is something they need to learn to live with just as all your other neighbors have openly accepted.

Once you recieve the letter (and know for a FACT that they complained), go knock on their door and tell them that you have, up until this point, ignored the fact that their pugs yap constantly and are waking you up in the middle of the night. You were trying to be an understanding neighbor, and didn't want to cause them any trouble. But now that they have taken it upon themselves to call the city on you because they don't share your taste in cars, that you will no longer be so understanding about the fact that you are losing sleep due to their inability to control their animals. And once you've actually verified with the proper city officials that you are, in fact, completely within the law, that they can expect to be contacted by the police, animal control, and if necessary your attorney about the nuisance they are creating with their constant dog barking. Inform them that they are breaking the law, and you will not be satisfied until they either stop the barking, keep their dogs inside permanently, or get rid of them altogether. Then tell the dude that if he had half a set of balls he would have been man enough to come over and discuss this matter in person.
I've got 10 acres and a barn. No exhaust on my '54 and my neighbor with the '49 lincoln is tuning his dual carbs. Move to the country and to hell with them all. 15 more minutes of drive adds to the time you can think about what the hell that knocking sound under your hood is.
Isn't it mexifornia these days? Liberal sissies and illegals what a combo! Used to be the greatest state in the whole country. What a shame!
What does this mean? Complained about what? Noise? Appearance? Reckless driving? How did you find out? You're really not giving much information. And all these threads usually do is show how disgusting a person can be by killing someone else's pets. Why is it that there are there usually dogs to complain about in retaliation when someone is hassled for a car? Right now I wouldn't do anything but go talk to your neighbor as his neighbor. Because it sounds like you don't truly know what has happened, is happeing, or is going to happen.
#1 Get thier phone # (preferably cell) #2 dream up a list of goods that would get a tweeker's nipples hard at 3 am (such as 91 honda prelude runs ok, spa gazebo, pure bred ankle bitin' pug puppies, room for rent very private/quiet 420 ok, etc) #3 go to a pay phone and call the recycler and spanish language newspapers. Place free adds for the aformentioned crap, make it cheap enough to be a really good deal but not so cheap as to look like a sham, and leave thier phone #s and even address (for the room for rent, apply in person) they'll be too busy to hassle you any more.
