eph1fifty,

I feel for ya!

I had the same problem in Marrero a few years ago. My wife talked me into trying a different approach:

I went down to the guys house and asked to see his stereo. While looking I acted very impressed with his installation and asked tons of questions. After that initial meeting, he would still pass by with his music too loud, but now he would wave like we were friends.

The wifes approach didn't work until I combined it with my own approach a week later when I returned, this time as a friend and a supposed admirer of his install. At that point, I politely requested that he turn down the music when he entered the neighborhood since he was agravating everyone including my two small kids whom he often woke up. I informed him that if he didn't, I was going to kick his @ss.

He continued to wave, but kept the volume down when entering the neighborhood after that.

 

I dunno, maybe I missed something. Did you ever ask him nicely to turn down his radio? Only thing that comes out of you calling him names, hitting him, or calling the cops is then there are two a**es instead of just one.

 

Oh yeah, you think you have it bad, at least if they're in a car, they are GOING away!
My neighbors listen to 'ABBA' and cheesy ****ry music all day and night on the weekends. No lie, when I go to work at 2:30am ...still playing. When I get home at 6:00am ...still playing.

 

Write down his tag # and make an anonymous call to the police about the driver possibly being drunk. 2 years ago a punk 18 year old slashed my personal truck and my work truck's tires. About 2 weeks later I followed the punk and reported the car's driver as possibly drunk and he usually was. well the officer arrested the driver and his girlfriend for felony drug possesion . He had 1/2 of a pound of marijuana in his trunk and the car had a heavy odor from pot smoking. The arrest made the newspaper, and my DAY!!!!

Buy the largest boom box and one that will play a cd continusoly with out stopping.

Buy a CD of Opera - where the fat lady sings and play it as loud as it will go. This will surly get them to say "uncle".

 

I like basically what Insect2 has in mind, but only play Barry manilow or Neil Diamond songs. But then again your neighbors will hate you more than him.

 

Ask nicely?

Sir could you please...?
What the h*** are you talkn 'bout a-hole
get your skinny 'lil butt off my yard!!!

Well I guess nice is not an option any more!

ATST: whats wrong with ABBA? (joke)

Believe it or not my cousin was of this type too! But after years of me laughing at him! He now listen to rock / alternative music and not as loud as he used too with his dance stuff...

Anyone got that cool Marvin Gay song, lets get it on? hahaha

I will give him a Live, Tonic, AC/DC disk and ask him to play good music instead of la boom, la boom!

Faaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrt! ooops he just left! I will borrow my cousins Duster with 340 (boosted to max) and show him what a REAL car is and ask him not to do those "burn shows" anymore because it just looks stupid when you know what a REAL car can do and what it feels like!

I'm not that mad anymore, for know, very short temper, I'm still part french canadian ainh?

thanks

Next time you want to do the lamppost trick try using a couple of strands of 30 lb (or higher) Spiderwire. He's less likely to see it and it might just work.

 

You gotta love spiderwire. That stuff is the greatest.

What I like to do is real simple. Show him up in front of his friends. If he thinks his car can burn out then show him how us Ford boys do it. Or race the little tin can with wheels and do it in front of friends so they can laugh at him. Thats what I do. I especially enjoy doing it after a movie when the guys car is packed with people. That makes it really easy to whoop on them. I'm sorry everyone, I have way to much time on my hands and enjoy beating rice rockets way too much.

Good luck EPH1FIFTY

Just thought of another one. We did it to a friend as a joke but it will work in this situation also. It works great with little cars, so the CRX should work great. Get about 4-8 guys who can lift a lot of weight and simply pick up the car. Now turn the car sideways in the parking spot. This only works well if it is a place where they can't get out due to other cars. As long as you have it up in the air go ahead and set it down on some blocks, that will make it even more fun.

Wow, I feel so evil. I just got another idea. If you have an hour or so just start jacking it up and putting blocks underneath until it is a few feet off the ground. These are cheap thrills and fun to see the look on the faces. Anyone ever see a lifted CRX?

One more. Take the needles out of the air stems for the tires. Doesn't really hurt much but it is annoying to have to go to the store to buy needles.

Hey, Neil Diamond is da bomb! His song "Red, Red Wind" was our college's national anthem in the early 70s. Try Wayne Newton singing "Donka Shoen" over and over and over. It's enough to make a grown man cry.

 

I don't think we really have any songs that can compete with 'Rice' music. I mean they have their 'National' anthem sung by Vanilla Rice, "Rice, Rice, Baby".

From what I can determine the gist of the song is:
"my mind is a chemical spill" and
"word to your mother".

 

Who says you need cinder blocks?

Don't know how it fits in here, but I find it amusing..

Back in my days as a grocery store stocker, I worked with my second cousin. One day, I came out of work to find the bed of my Ranger filled to the top with telephone books.. Seems 'cuz raided the store's recycle bin.

I love a good joke, so I had a laugh, and proceded to think about how to get him back, with only 30 minutes unl he got off, and on a well-lit, and heavily patrolled lot at that! When he did come out, his little VW was up in the air!

The Moral of this Story, why spend time with heavy cinder blocks when you CAN actually put a car up on telephone books?!

When I saw him a few days later, he told me that officer Smith and Jones were decidedly NOT amused with the prospect of pushing 'cuz's car off the books, and even less amused with the "litter." (He had to get rid of all of the phone books, and couldn't do it at work without telling 'da boss where they had come from and how he got them.)

This is easy my friend.....

-Check his gas cap, if it's not locked, this will take care of your problem. If it is, there is still a "work around":

1. At night, under the cover of darkness, get up under the rear of his car and splice two wires. One to each of his tailight leads.

2. Remove his gas cap.

3. Run these wires to his filler neck of his gas cap, make sure that you have enough slack in the wires to ultimately feed down into the filler tube of his gas tank.

4. Strip the ends of the wire that will go into his gas cap and connect the wires with a piece of steel wool, don't use a thick piece, a small narrow piece will do.

5. Tuck this entire steel wool/wire ensemble into the filler neck as far as you can. Replace the gas cap.

6. If he has a locking gas cap, you can circumvent that security by cutting the filler neck tube under the car (it's usually a rubber hose nowadays anyway) and inserting your work into the exposed cavity.

-wear gloves, my friend, and utilize materials that can't be traced back to you....

-kindest regards

BTW, this can't be no worse than other suggestions posted here, hmmmmmmm ?

I guarantee that this will take care of your "problem", and you'll probably will be able to watch it with glee from inside the comfort of your home.
