Are you a good neighbor or NOT!!!

[Bwana Snake]

My neighbor has a barking dog every morning, even on Sunday, at 5:30 AM she lets is out in the back yard. My master bedroom window is right next to her fence, you do the math. One Sunday morning after being up all night watching a Charlie Chan festival just for meanness I kicked the sucker off at 4:30 AM. I did get a telephone call you can guess the response.

I am lucky - my neighbors love the car, I have taken some of them for a ride.
If I do have an early departure I just go easy on it until well out of the area,
so no problems. There are a couple of bikes in the area that make more
noise than I ever do so I'm not worried.

Bwana Snake's neighbor has a barking dog early, I got a rock band late.
I enjoy early morning breakfast on the weekends during the summer.
I drive the cobra as frequently as possible.

I am NOT a good neighbor. I have a big cam and custom exhaust on my big block. It's real loud - even for Cobras. I start it in the garage (echoy in there too) and let her idle a bit in the driveway to get that oil moving around that large engine. Then I pull away slowly. You can hear ever stroke of the cylinders clearly and loudly. I don't mind the early morning drive or pulling in at midnight.

My daily driver is a Yukon with custom dual exhaust - noisy too. In fact, when I was taking my daughters to school every morning, the across the street neighbor said they didn't need to use an alarm clock anymore - because my truck woke them up (on time) every morning.

So, NO I'm not a good neighbor. I'm a GREAT neighbor since I don't call the police on their constantly barking (and crapping in my yard) dogs or call City Hall on their over gown yard ( I mean weeds).

Plus, isn't a big block firing up universal music known the world over?

You guys are great!!! I have a neighbor down the street that has about as many bikes as I do cars. Every morning he winds it out to the stop sign at my corner and I hear him coming most of the time at 6 a.m.. He is on his way to work, I guess' Not on weekends!! So some sat or sun mornings I cruise by his house and give him alittle wakeup call also. And if thats not enough pipes it also sets off his neighbors car alarm. Boy, I love these cars!!!! hahahah

I try to be a good neighbor...

not being a morning person, I rarely fire up the beast before 9 AM & try not to be out after 10 PM. Only once or twice a year do I fire it up early for a car show or a breakfast run.

... not that it's a big deal... my neighbors love it... even though it rattles their windows & sets off their car alarm while warming up in the driveway.

One neighbor was working on/in his boat (next door) while I was warming it up... he thought there was an earthquake...

I notify my neighbors the night before. And who you calling old? ROFLMAO!!

The first time I started the car during the build I went into the house and warned my wife! I hit the starter and was listening to the most incredible sound when my wife came flying out the garage door yelling "shut it off" I did and then I tried to explain as calmly as I could that I would need to run it to tune it. I apologized if it was to loud and was bothering her. She looked at me kind of weird (but I am used to that) and said "Honey, the noise is bearable but the problem is it is shaking the china in the china cabinet" Had a good laugh on that and did all future tuning in the daytime in the driveway.
