Sorry I was so brief. I was headed out the door when I saw them struggling with the car. I came back in and started this thread.
For those who dont know, my neighbor has about three teenage boys. Two of them have drivers licenses and Chevy trucks they peel out with and playing booming bass-heavy rap with.
The youngest kid just has a learner's permit. When his brothers agree to ride shotgun with him, he drives around the streets of my neighborhood ceaselessly, in a junky old Honda Accord with no muffler.
When his brothers wont ride with him, he just sits in the driveway revving the engine for hours on end and beeping his horn.
After about a month of that, snuck over late at nigh last autumn and rammed a spud up the tailpipe. It stopped the revving, but the shithead just started riding a muffler-less scooter around instead.
So now that the snow's gone and the Midnight Sun is out, the whole family and some of their kids' friends were revving their trucks, peeling out, skidding around, and generally being total nuisances at 10pm. And I thought to myself, "I'm really glad I shoved a potato up those jackasses's tailpipe."
As I was leaving, a police cruiser headed down the street. Obviously they were getting on other neighbors' nerves too.
