Cool

Fortunately my neighbours are 65 and 75 years old, car nuts, and hard of hearing! So no problems (apart from having to give them a test drive every now and again). Also resorted to bringing an even noisier car (but with original road legal system home one day) - one neighbour thought his house would fall down with the vibrations.

I fell out with mine last year and am now taking them to court, so I really don't worry anymore!
We both share a fairly steep drive to get to our houses, so late at night I sometimes have to give it a little rev to get up that steep hill

Why not just offer them a ride? That way they'll have flash backs to the ride every time they hear the car & so stop complaining. Of course you may then never get rid of them!

Back when I was living with my parents in the US, we made plenty of noise. Dad in a 300ZX TT with Greddy exhaust, me in Honda with a worthless melon shooter, and brother with a 300ZX TT with B&B exhaust and Datsun 510 w/ race exhaust. All we needed was a Harley. Luckily we had good relationships with all the neighbors so no problems. However, I'm sure they're glad that my bro & I are gone. Dad gets his new 350Z in a couple of weeks only to be sold right away since an Infinity G35 coupe is on the way.
