That is cute. And when he blew you off or ignored you then what?


Most people respond well to adult conversations, especially if you lay out your concerns in a civil manner.  If he ignored me, then the next step is involving the local sheriff department.  

Hope you do not have any annoying habits like barking dogs or other bullshit that would be akin to rocks thrown inside of a glass house.  


Nope, no dogs or any other "annoying habits"....plus, having 220+ acres makes for great neighbors...


Well 220 acres would allow the guy to pretty much run anything he wants and not wake your kid.


Reason I mention yappy dogs, because I am only on 1/3 an acre, is due to a bitch neighbor behind me.   Dog yaps constantly all day.   Meanwhile my 720+ hours of overtime in a year ass has to occassionally get up at 2am to goto work.

You would think the time I went round the neighborhood to check in with neighbors, after seeing a suspicious vehicle with what was possibly a hooker and her john using their culdusac as a stop and blow, would have won me some favors.    That was my chance to play nice and the first time I put bitch tits on polite notice to please shut her dog up.

6 months later and it is nice time of year for sleeping with windows open again.   Low and behold still nothing done about shit dog.   Tried over 2 weeks to knock on door and never got an answer.    Finally called the cops, an allied agency that rarely responds to barking dog calls, actually showed up and did something within 15 minutes of my call.    Only the rookie cop decided to try to play off the call.   First it was telling me he drove by and didnt hear a dog barking.   So I had him meet me in my drive way.   As the dog is barking he tells me he heard a dog barking but it didnt sound like it was coming from the house in question.   As we stand there he tells me the dog that we both clearly hear barking doesnt sound like it is coming from that house.   I look at him like he is the retarded lying joke that he is and call his bluff.    Asked him to goto the surrounding neighbors that I have talked to, the virtual lynch mob I was about to form, and to talk to all the neighbors to isolate just which damn yard holds the dog that we both hear.   That or he could take my 5 years of living at the house as experience enough.

He tries a cop out to put it on animal control which is a "i don't want to handle this call" excuse.    By the way,  my own department has policy telling me I will handle such calls and not pawn it off on Animal Control.

Finally he agrees to do his job and asks me if I want him to go talk to her.  Herp derp, well yeah that was the whole point of the call and asking for contact so I could directly make the request.    10 minutes after he leaves bitch tits takes her yappy POS inside and shuts up.   Satisfying in that hey imagine that, it must have been the dog I was talking about after all.   Annoying in that I had to argue with some snot nose with barely a year on that should have just been up front with me instead of trying to lie and bullshit his way out of the call for service.

2 weeks later though it is near christmas and I am talking with my nextdoor neighbor I like.   Bitch tits drives by and sarcastically yells out the window "merrrrrryyyy christmas neeeeeighbooor".   As if a threat or just to be a bitch.

Guess the friendly rookie cop decided to help things along by ratting out the reporting party.   It is okay, karma has a way of coming around and I will see him again some day and will likely be able to blue falcon him.

Few more spats back and forth where she deliberately hung around to instigate shit, from a woman who evidently now has something to prove(that she is an indignant bitch), and it is obvious there was nothing good to come from any interaction with her.

What does this all have to do with loud cars and the police?

Well it was going to end with fantasies of petty revenge annoying loud exhausts and waking the neighbor from her sleep some hung over sunday morning.   Fantasies that shall never be fulfilled for one simple reason.

Basically for the OP...

Messing with people who may have nothing to lose and everything to gain is not smart.    Even just calling the cops so you don't have to deal with their stupid asses may be, in the eyes of the idiots, doing too much.

Meanwhile you have everything to lose.   And that is why I edited out my sordid fantasies of Ride of the Valkaries and straight pipe headers aimed at her bedroom window.

  You called the cops because of a barking dog?




After months of the bullshit.   Yes.   After one failed attempt of being a nice neighbor and mentioning it during something else...  yes.    After multiple attempts to knock on the door, over the course of 2 weeks between 5pm and 8 pm before making the call, with no answer.   Yes.    After having talked to other neighbors that share a fence line with that pile of shit dog.   Yes.   After having come to the point where I had figured there was nothing else left to do.   Yes.

Hopefully you never have to deal with the nails on the chalk board bullshit that is a constantly barking dog that is keeping you from your sleep for multiple nights in a row.    Having to close every window and run your air conditioning when you shouldnt have to is just one small annoyance.

Well the Honda's still around, but now he and his friends are working on a Jeep Cherokee.
And somewhere along the line they picked up an impact wrench, so nap times are still going great.

I had a good laugh when I got home from work yesterday, before I could even see their house I could smell burnt ATF.

Aww hell.  I'm 53 and I'm your neighbor . Working on my sons wrecked Mustang, I had to pull the mufflers and tailpipes for his new car.   Neighbors love it when I have to move it in the driveway.

Buying your neighbor a muffler would be a sound investment.

He idles this f'ing car for hours a day, red-lines it multiple times a day, and does burn-outs on our street, "testing" his engine swap and turbo addition (with a completely obvious fake temporary tag). Two exhaust pipes come out through the hood, cut almost flush, front bumper/grille removed to give him a place to mount the intercooler.

Picture is after 20 minutes of idling, any hope he's got a head gasket leak and will grenade it sometime soon?

Carbon monoxide will get him one day with that setup

I've heard of people (very bad people) putting spray foam (the expanding kind) into peoples mufflers.  Don't do that.  It's illegal.

So is spraying oven cleaner in the exhaust.
It might create huge billowing clouds of smoke that some one might see and call the fire department

I missed that part when I read the OP.  Exhaust through the hood and flush with the hood?  Like directly upstream of the cabin air intake?  Darwin at work.

May be moisture collected in the downpipe and wastegate dump that are exiting the hood.

It sounds like he has nothing after the turbo,  just a split and elbows to exit the hood.  Definitely no muffler, and with the pipes coming out far forward on the hood,  i don't think he has a front cat. It smokes whenever it is idling, no smoke when he's going around the block.

It's common on 1000+ hp drag Honda's.

Damn it.
I should've taken a pic of the donor car when it was still around, it only took them a month to get it towed away after the engine was removed. It was a Honda/Acura 4-door of slightly better styling and probably newer, but I don't remember anything else.

Depends on the motor swap, they can run a really long time with shot rings and a blown headgasket.

It's a 92-95 Civic hatchback, no body side moldings or rear wiper so it was a CX or DX. It could have a D, B or K series Honda under the hood, most likely a  D or B series.

not sure how your state laws work but, here any exhaust exiting in front of the passenger cabin is a big no-no for driving on the street.
next time you see the car zipping around the neighborhood, just call the cops and report the loud car that's on fire?
