alot of times i take any chance i get to work on my car , sometimes as im out in my garage my neighbors will drive by staring with that scum of the earth look on thier faces does anyone else get this or is it just me?
I had a '59 Chevy with a 396 and hooker 2" primary supper comp. headers. I had to be at work at 6am every day. They didn't like me
I'd actually like to buy my neighbors house and doze it and build another shop, And I hope they're little dog goes with them!!
I thought mine hated me, but then I started helping him fix his lawnmower and snowblower and he seems much better...I bet after a ride in the '31 next summer he'll be pretty nice to me...
My nieghbors have called the coppers on me on several occasions. Once because I was out in my sled throwing flames at 3 in the morning( I was celebrating my brithday) and other times for working late in the garage with music on and the fellas over. They hate me. every time I see them outside they turn their nose up and walk away. Oh well...life goes on and so do my builds.
Ditto that, I was going to move, but they moved first I guess when I started to plant the cars in a up right pose in the back yard was the last straw for them. I remember one day he was driving down his driveway, and I was picking up sticks, I had a big o rip in my pants, in the a$$ crack so I bent over and mooned him.
Re: do your neighbors hate you? Really couldn't say, as I have -0- interest in anything they think, say or do.
My neighbors don't even care when I fire up the sprint car - must be all those free welding jobs are worth doing.....
Depends on the neighbor. One next to me comes over with a beer everytime he hears/sees me working. On the other side, that guy can see into my back yard,,,,, him,,, not so much.
I have a pizza shop on one side.I get along with them (beer and pizza).The neighbors next to me are great.The old guy is always checking out what I brought home.The others I don't bother with.The 56 gets them worked up especilly when they are outside and I go through the gears.They can kiss my ass
They say if you don't think there's an ass hole in your neighborhood. It's you. Funny thing I can't find one in mine.
the ones I like are cool with what I do, the others can kiss my ass. Had parking enforcement called on the car a few times, but started parking in front of the neighbor's house who was calling so they stopped. Als had the "block captain" whatever the hell that is come and complain about my car parked on the street. Funny thing is the block captain doesn't even live on my block.
My neighbors know better. I got along with the majority of them and they really don't care. Thankfully.
lucky you.It's kind of cool soetimes to piss them off.A smoky burnout tends to do that when they are having a picnic.
my last house, i was fortunate enough that most of my neighbors were old and deaf... they'd not hear me in the shop (uninsulated barn) at 3am. the only neighbor that wasn't old, was my age... and he was too busy having parties with strippers to care what kinda noise i was making. incidentally, i went though a divorce in that house... the stripper parties made for a great get-a-way from everything after the divorce, i lived in a few apartments. they hated me, and my 90lb dog. now i'm in a house, in a nicer neighborhood. again, seems that i'm fortunate enough to have deaf old neighbors. my shop (old carriage house) can't be seen from the street, nobody knows/sees/hears what i have back there...
Hell Yes! I Just Built My 40' X 60' Metal Building 50 Feet Off The Property Line Wright In Front Of There View.
mine like me too much... someone is always coming over to tell me some story about another guy they know building a dune buggy like mine,,, or a duece coupe model T,,, I end up working with the garage door closed, even in the summer,,, just so I don't have to deal with the stories.
I have 2 project cars, 4 dogs and 2 bands that practice twice a week each. The cops come and give me warning tickets every now and then for not moving the cars often enough. The city ordinace says you have to move every registered car 1 mile every 72 hours. The neighbors hassle us about the music. Well, just one - shes a crackhead who hates us and calles every time we start. Everyone else loves it. No complaints on the dogs or projects, so I guess i'm not completely striking out!
i'm pretty sure mine hate me, they've called the cops 3 times and threatened a dozen more, and thats just if i work in the shop past 10PM. funny thing is he fires his diesel trucks up at 5 in the morning and wakes me up (owns a landscaping buisness)
Depends..... The Harley guy likes me, the old lady doesn't talk to anyone, the Mexican can't talk English, the Asian guy helps me work on my fence, and the neighbor to the west hates me 'coz I don't mow twice a week like he does.
Hey! You DO live in Fontucky, AKA Felony Flats. Maybe you look like someone's parole officer. And I'm sure glad I don't have some of you anti-social 'tards for neighbors.
