3 months after moving to a new house I finally got a chance to meet some of the people who live on our street. After I came back home from the gym couple of the people who live on our street stopped by and told me about how my car has been disturbing the peace in the neighborhood. To be honest I was expecting this visit given the avg. age on our street is 60-70.
Before I get into more detail here some more information. I have the solo thunder catback exhaust on my car and I know that it is loud (maybe a little louder than I think it is from inside the car). I start my car with our garage doors closed every morning and wait for it down to quite down before I pull out. I take the long way out of our neighborhood to drive by less houses in the morning and never speed within the neighborhood. I also talked to the owners of the 2 houses right next to ours to make sure that my exhaust does not bother them the week that we moved in and they were both cool with it.
Going back to my story, couple guys showed up at my door and judging by the look on the older guys face I knew what was going on. I immediately apologized and said I will try to keep it down and avoid driving by their house before he even said anything. He responds saying the he needs me to do more than try. At that point I was really close to saying something else but given I am 25 and this guy is 75 I just kept my mouth shut and said ok. Also some of these guys are the same people who wake up at 6:30 on Sundays to mow their lawns waking me up during the only time of the week when I get to sleep in.
I am going to keep the car in higher gears and keep it quite but to be honest I want to open up the j-pipes and drive by this guys house every damn morning at 6 am.
Also as a first time home owner I have no idea what the worst thing that could happen if this guy complains to our HOA. Pretty sure that will be his next move regardless of what I do, given he has nothing else going on in his life and looking for some action.
