The woman across the street is a realtor, and she completely FREAKED out when we were in the final go-kart stages of setting the brake bias. I was doing 20-0 runs one afternoon (kids in school and no one around) and she came running out screaming for me to stop, for fear I would leave black marks on the street and devalue our homes. She was very ugly and warned me that all the neighbors would soon be hating me for :that thing." Her hubby came home later so I caught him in the driveway to apologize. He quickly told me he would tell her to keep her mouth shut and hide in the closet if it bothered her, and how dare she confront me about my COBRA (hallowed, angels-singing tone used here.)

Since getting the body on all my neighbors drool over it and have come over to see it or asked for rides. In return I have tried to be very quiet when coming in after 10PM or leaving before 8AM, and I try and not sit around revving it up for attention.
