    How do I "fix" my neighbors?

    So the neighbor kid drives me INSANE with his truck.....

    4 hours after I changed the exhaust on my Trans Am for the louder, the little redneck shit kid was outside hacking off his muffler on his 2004 Dodge Ram truck. His redneck dad beat his ass but yet didn't make him reweld it on.

    Their driveway is by my bedroom window. He leaves it running outside sometimes for 20 minutes...he revs it up when he starts it...he revs it up right before he shuts it down....he works on a farm and comes and goes at all hours of the night. I tried speaking to his fat mouthy mom...but she said I'm one to talk because of my Bird....yet I'm very considerate of my neighbors and coast in quietly if people are asleep.

    Is there anyway I can quiet his truck down without his knowledge? Stick some catalytic convertor stuff in the pipe...splice some wires!? Something?? Also complaining to the local police force does nothing.

    Reasoning with these people is not an option.

    Be less considerate and see how they like it. Make some noise after they go to bed or an hour before they get up...that would piss me off.

    I could solve your neighbor problem for you

    Seriously, it'll be rough to get anything through to people like that. I wouldn't recommend doing anything to the truck. It'll just lead to you getting in trouble possibly.

    I, in the past have had good success with a tight fitting potato jammed right up the tailpipe.

    They cannot see it if far enough up and cannot start the thing

    Winner!!!!


    I wouldn't screw with the truck or even talk with them about anymore it. It would come back on you in retaliation against the bird.

    Nor would I be anymore considerate towards them. Cutout @ 3000rpms as you pull in/out would be fun. Random start ups and short cruises around the block in the middle of the night, etc.

    Every teenager that comes in and out of there does that. Those people never sleep. Wouldn't really do any good.

    You could put a bright ass motion detecting spotlight on that side of the house. Maybe getting the shit blinded out of him in the middle of the night would lead to a deal. put it on a short ass delay so he couldnt get any use out of it.

    That doesn't sound like a bad ideal. I came home the other night pretty late and they were all hanging out on their front porch..so i turned my bright lights on and pulled the Bird angled in my front yard just so my lights hit their front porch and then i got out and went in the house a few minutes. Come back outside to turn the Bird and lights off and they had scattered.

    I think we all have issues with some of our neighbors. There's a single mom who lives a few houses away (culdesac) from me. She has a kid who's somewhere in high school. Little shit turns the bass up so much on his shit music that I can be in my bedroom with the TV on and still hear the bass. It's fucking annoying, and this neighborhood is not a ghetto neighborhood by any means, quite the opposite actually. Sure sounds like one though when he has that shit on. My house is a good 150-200ft away. I cant fathom how the other neighbors with houses on either side of his can tolerate that shit.

    The problem with finding a solution (and a problem with many of the suggestions in this thread) is that it needs to be directed only at the one problem person. In your case, making your car louder might piss off the one particular neighbor, but if you have any other neighbors there's no need to start a problem with them. I dont have any interest in pissing off any of my other neighbors.

    On a related topic, my girl works in a large office, and she has been getting her
    "very clearly marked" lunch stolen out of the office fridge. Any ideas? She says I have free rein to nip it in the bud. I was thinking about putting somthing "special" in there. You know, those frozen microwave meals.

    Ha ha ha.

    Wasn't the solution on an episode of the Office?

    Real food...mixed in with Imodium Ad/laxative or something of the same. And do it a few times til they get the point.
