i've got this neighbor(neighbors) who are constantly calling the police for me wrenchin on my ride. now they ***** about me having cars parked in my driveway that i constantly work on. whats a man to do to hell with getting rid of any or giving up my love of cars. so does anybody know a good hitman?
I had to deal with that kinda ****, too. This a$$hole down the street broke his leg, and was off work for a while, and must have got real bored. Anytime after 8pm!!!, this ***** calls the cops. Now, I've moved to a different town, and the neighbor next door is always wrenchin' on his '70 Chev pu, so no one bugs me anymore. I hope you don't have to do something as drastic as that, but it worked for me. Eric
[ QUOTE ] does he take credit? im spending the last of my cash on a30-31 grill shell. [/ QUOTE ] Before you by that one. I may have a grill shell for you before I epay it next weekend.
invite a bunch of bikers over for a party. let him know how GOOD he has it. bikers are good people, but they don't take well to pussies that call the cops for no good reason.
that sounds like a plan. when i first bought my pad i always had parties its time to start again. halloween is coming up soon. break out the keg and start some ****.
Start killing the cops with kindness when they come out. Try to keep the yard neat and clean, don't have car parts ****tered around all over the yard, leaning up against the garage, etc. and then when the cop comes out, just B.S. with him, strike up conversation about rods, bikes, whatever and work into the conversation that you're trying to keep the noise down, you've never heard from the guy who has the problem, you're trying to be a good neighbor, etc. Offer the officer a cold soda or bottle of water. Make the pain in the *** neighbor seem like a pain in the *** to the cop, too. Police officers always know who the good guy is and the ***hole is in a given situation. They also know when they're dealing with two ***holes. Also, if you ever find yourself out in the garage running air tools or making a lot of noise late at night, talk to the neighbors about it BEFORE you hear from them--let them know if you're making too much noise you'll ratchet it down a notch, shut the doors, etc. and that if it doesn't help, you'll knock off "early" that night. OR better yet, ask them what time is too late to be making noise. (and no, 8pm is NOT reasonable. But 9:30 would be). I've had real good luck with neighbors this way. There are unreasonable *******s, but at least this way you covered the bases, and then when the cops come out for the discussion, you can give them that information as well. Again, makes you look like the good guy. -Brad
yeah youre right. but im still gonnas have a kick *** halloween party. what makes the situation worse is i just put my 50chev on a new chasis in the garage an the oldie is in my drive way for sale imight just giv up the frame to anyone who needs a straigt six and power glide on an og frame
Check what your area's Noise Ordinance is, if there is any. If there is, make sure you stay within the limits. If there isn't (like where I live) then he has no legal right to *****. Don't know what the hell his problem is if you aren't running pneumatic tools at midnight. 9:30-10:00 is a reasonable cut-off time. Sounds like your neighbor is a rather pathetic and bored individual to be har***ing you like that. He needs some happy pills. Or a chainsaw enema.

[/ QUOTE ] im sure most of you have heard our *****-behind-us story. She's called the cops at 8pm because he's too loud, shes called ME at WORK at noon to tell me he's too loud and to make him stop (how am I sposeda do that from work- if you can't get ahold of him, I don't have the magical power either). She calls during the day to our house to have me tell him to shut up (she always starts off "this is your neighbor..." I want to say "sorry, you're hardly a neighbor, you're the ***** that lives behind us"..... anyways...we live in the country, and we dont have a noise ordinance, BUT there's a thing called KEEPING the PEACE. The cops didn't seem to care too much....just told him to keep his radio down unless a good song came on. lol. ****ing women.
Brad54 hit the nail on the head just cover your *** & be nice to the man that counts, i expect the cops get pissed off being called out to petty **** like that anyway.....nothing worse than waisting police time & they know it, if you seem calm & concerned about the issue they will soon decide who the ***hole is! We have the same deal here so i keep the noise level low from about 10pm to 3am (thats when i get most stuff done with no interuptions) any noisey stuff gets it in the afternoon unless i'm at work of course! For what its worth i wouldn't move from Henderson either i like it there, my cousin used to live just off Gibson. The other option try to dig up some dirt on him i'm sure he'll have some that he would like kept quiet. Good luck with the ***hole.
our old neighbor used to call the cops on us because my moms oldsmobile used to break down alot so we had to have it towed. she told the cops we were runnin a parts business out of the backyard and that every few weeks we'd be bringin home another car. The tow man found out about this and at about 2 in the morning he got in front of her house and blew his horn 3 times. Now in our "new" house we have 3 cars that do not run. two of which are in the backyard and i'll be damned if someone *****es about a car being in the backyard. If they call it a safety hazard whos safety is it hazardous to? ****in safety nazis ruin everything man johnny
Must be an epidemic... I got a letter in the mail about three weeks ago from my town telling me that I must remove old junk cars and debri from my driveway... WTF!!!!! The only thing IN my driveway is my durango, 57 wagon which I drive almost every day, and a 39 pontiac... Almost rust free, not driveable yet but a decent project car. All doors fenders and windows are in it.. It dosen't look like **** or anything... But I get the fine pleasure of finding a temporary home for it until my T is out of the garage... Or get a 150 a day fine until it is gone.. I got two words for everyone... ELECTION YEAR!!!!! I have the theory that some of these elected officials are trying to win votes by claiming to clean up the neighborhoods....
Old tin = easy target, thats why all the precious junk yards are dissapearing.....sad but true. There's a lot to be said for "out of sight out of mind"
Well I know that I make a little more noise than I should from time to time, but I essentially *****d myself out for a little leniency from the neighbors. They all know that I work on cars A LOT. Now they also know that if they ever have any questions about their cars, or need a hand with some minor tune up stuff (I tell them I won't DO it, but show THEM how), or help starting their lawnmower, or snowblower, etc... they can come talk to me. Not one single person has *****ed about a thing since I made that deal.
my town *****ed about a ratty looking 50 chevy panel i had no ***le for. they wanted to fine me 100 a day for it. after going to court the judge gave me 30 days to move it or register and insure it. i chose to take the headlight out put a piece of 8" tubing in with the end capped off and call it my new mail box."really pissed off all the neibors and building inspector" but there was nothing they could do. some of my neibors *****ed about the noise of my vette or harley after 9 pm now on weekends i make sure i come home at 3am in first gear making all the noise i can. the cops love when they call. they come over i bs with them and let them check out the cars and bikes. they also tell me that they will pull over the neibors to waste there time like they did to him.
If they wouldn't build houses so fricking close together out here there wouldn't be such a problem! I swear if you are stranded on the pot without t.p. your neighbor could p*** ya some without leaving his house!

The guy can ***** about it all he wants, and the cops can't do anything legally. Only intimidation. Learn your towns laws, and the ways to use them to your advantage. The guy is a *****, cops can't be trusted, and you gotta watchj out for your own. You could sweet talk a cop - that's using them to your advantage, but they're still the enemy.

I like Slag Kustom,s mailbox idea. I have 6 cars behind my garage and they,re completely out of sight.Also covered by green tarps.For the weather ofcourse but also for the light plane that the county send out once in a while to take pics of all the farms and built up areas. About 3 years ago my neighbour came around and began about the cars.I thought he came to ***** but instead he asks if i would mind if he planted some big trees on his side of the fence.I might catch some of the leaves within a few years.I,m allready looking forward to the shade i,ll get.

The kid next door to us makes up for it somewhat though- the ***** behind us doesnt have a/c so their windows are open all summer long...with big fans sitting in them blowing air in.....he's put smoke bombs, onions, etc...on the outside blowing in....
Try to save your hammering/cutting/air chiseling for weekends. Do lighter duty (quiet) stuff at night. And I don't care about noise ordinances and such. Sure, it may be legal for you to pound away until 10:00 or whatever at night...but it's just not cool at all. People have kids who go to bed early, or they may go to bed early to get up early for work. Sleep is precious. I'm a TOTAL neat freak, so I won't even comment on stuff outside of the garage. Cleanliness is next to Godliness

Man... I'm 29 and can't remember the last "nice" neighbours we had. I love it when they get pissed off when my friends with their open piped Harleys show up or when I start my Triumph and take off. Even better when people show up with their cars... Them ****in' mainstream neighbours think we're a bunch of s***bags or something... There's so many people in this country that don't look any further then there own little ****ed up world...

Man, I'm lucky I have good neighbors. But, I respect them by not being wild. I don't make any noise after 10. And I keep my yard cleaner than them too. LOL There's an old saying... "Good fences make good neighbors" Build a fence or plant evergreen shrubs. Might help...
