I have a neighbor whose car has no muffler


Of course he’s the one who is coming and going more often than anyone else in the entire complex, and so I get to hear it 4-5 times a day. Additionally, he almost always leaves it idling for 5-10 minutes before pulling away I’m assuming to warm his car up. I reported it to the leasing office but they said unfortunately there’s nothing they can do. I looked out the window one day when I heard him fire it up and to my shock it was a pretty new car. If it was some old beater I’d understand, but clearly they can afford a $3-400 car payment they can afford a fucking muffler. It’s probably even still under warranty. My only guess is, based on his bizarre erratic behavior of coming and going all day that something else is going on, he’s either a drug dealer or a junkie or something dysfunctional.

All of these things added together make me want to bash his windshield in with a crowbar and when he comes out to check on the noise Nancy Kerrigan both kneecaps. Any suggestions that won’t get me time?

I don't use "ignore." It's for children. 😏

Unfortunately there's not much you can do legally and I'd suggest you avoid doing what we'd all wish to do in this situation
I feel your pain, years ago I had a neighbor with a Harley and he would rev that sucker like you wouldn't believe...it sounded like a war was breaking out in his yard every day...He was an exceptionally nice guy otherwise so I just lived with it💥💥💥🙄

Maybe approach him politely and do the 'aww shucks, could you maybe...' routine with him

Best of luck

Yeah lol it’s so aggravating

Surely the city you live in has noise ordinances. I would contact city hall or the police. They could issue a letter of warning and follow it up with a citation if necessary.

did he ever get it fixed?

I hate to bring bad news

MovieBuff suffered a massive coronary when the stapler he ordered from Amazon did not in fact staple a goddam thing...He held on for as long as he could but then the neighbor's dog starting yapping and he left this world😥

Services were on Sunday about 10 months ago and they were lovely

He didn't live to get that Post Office pension?

Do any of us get that Post Office pension?

Let us pray.

I'd leave a note. Say you're a shift worker or something and you need the noise issue dealt with.

Where I live a noisey Harley used to wake me up at 5am but I've gotten used to it. It was just a foreign noise when I moved in and would always startle me.

Are you pen pals with that 4 year old boy you found at the gas station now?
That would be a cool ending to that totally bullshit story👍

The neighbor kid has a truck with loud exhaust.

He's a nice kid so I don't make much of a fuss about it.

It drives my dog crazy though!

Help him out and tell him if he buys the part you'll help him install it. Muffler is probably only $100.
