certainly not as glamorous as some of the posts...but, i usually let my car idle in the driveway once its started for a few minutes tol let it warm up before i slowly crawl out of the subdivision keeping it as quiet as i can.
i have a neighbor in the 70s across the street who complains that my car is so loud her windows vibrate. I told her that she should get new windows as the ones she has are single pane and 40 yrs old.
then she added that her daughter works nights and if i start it in the morning hours befor 11 am it wakes her up. i told her that her 45 yr old daughter, never married and living at home should fly the coop and get day time job. heck , i am retired, and drive the car all the time at all hours. hello.
needless to say, i am not on her social or christmas lists..but on some 'other' type of list, can you say DOOH DOOH list ?
i have one neighbor with a harley with straight pipes and another with a 32 duece with a wild motor, both are louder than my spf. this gal calls me to complain when she hears them thinking it is my car and i have to tell her to look out her single pane windows and in my driveway she will see nothing and i am talking on the phone so obviousl not in the car. duh..
as an aside, my wife wont ride in it either..too loud she says.
the neighbor is a nice gal though, i guess. and the wife will ride in my other toys so all is well. bill
