This Means WAR!
So yea, tonight I started tearing into Franky to remove the motor and trans...
got the front drivers strut out (replacing it anyway) and low and behold the cops get called.... im being too loud/noise complaint.... even though ive been way louder before and way later too. So this is the 3rd time in a month the cops have been called on me for noise complaints...
so the cops say keep it down and leave and i get back to work, well all i did was secure the brake caliper to the control arm so it wouldnt hang by its hose and sure enough the cops show up again!
now this time it turns into a big argument and i finally find out who it is that is calling the cops on me all the time, its the neighbour directly across the street from me in front of my house. Now nobody here has seen my house but its BIG, 2 stories and a 1/2 above ground basement. and my driveway runs directly next to it then goes behind it. so any light thats on is not even visible from the street which is also what she was complaining about.
So after all this the cops say to wrap it up for the night and if they get called again someones getting tickets.
so of course you guys know this means war! our village has a ordnance that you cant park on the street after 1am and they have a habit of leaving their cars out across from my driveway (yes one of my friends has hit them for it too) so anytime i see that now im calling.

I'm willing to bet that the person across the street is a geezer? Prolly on some neighborhood watch commity or something When old people have nothing else better to do than call the cops on someone

pipebomb = not even close to funny
Just be careful how this war escalates. Remember, it'* not like you're renting an apartment and one of you can get fed up and move. You're kinda stuck with each other.

I feel for ya there, I hate pesky neighbors
I have a neighbor like that... he would call the cops anytime we would spin tires leaving the driveway.
that got old real fast, so now I spin my tires EVERY time I leave the driveway, and tell everyone else to follow suit. I have many friends with trucks, one with a modded F-150 lightening, and one with a modded '99 camaro Z-28.
in the road comming out of my driveway is now FULL of black marks but the best part is that they either got tired of calling the cops, or the cops got tired of comming out here for stupid ****
