if i lived in a neighbor hood like that with pissy people and gay ass speed limits i would get kicked out in a f**kin month if that .. if some old guy jumped out in front of me and came through my window i'd hit the sombitch.. then i'd either have beaten up an old guy or got my ass kicked by an old guy but either way i would have hit him
theres a little park at the front of my hood and no kids were out. i had just washed the car and it started raining a little so i was super pissed for whatever reason. so i head down my road and just nail it through first which tops out at like 35. some dude was bitching at me hardcore but i guess he had reason to, the limit's 30 and theres no reason to take off like that where so many kids normally play.
new parents in my neighborhood are pretty bad cause their kids play with eachother across the street sometimes so in my old age (20 lol) ive learned to just go like 20 or 25 in the stretch where kids are out a lot cause i dont want to hit one or get glares from their parents

cops are at my house id say twice every 3 weeks, neighbors hate my GTP and Saleen, they think they are loud and obnoxious, one neighbor even asked me one time if something was wrong with my gtp because they herd the supercharger wine and so they thought it was going to blow up lmao, i just laughed and drove by. Cops show up every once in a while to "check on things", we are known on my street for loud fast cars, my brother has 2 Mitsubishi eclipses with loud exhausts, and an Evo 9 thats super loud, so the neighbors just basicly hate us for that, not to mention every car has a loud ass system in it.

Some of you guys sound like you actually bring it upon yourselves. Bumping loud systems in a neighborhood is a totally asshole thing to do, I don't care what tim of day it is. I easily have the loudest car on my street and I never have had anyone complain, and I get along with everyone in my neighborhood. Ever heard the saying "don't $hit where you sleep"? That applies here. Drive nice and act respectible in your own neighborhood. Now of course there are dumb jerks that think just because a car is loud it is going fast, those people can suck a fat one.

Hahah some of you guys deserve the harassment...
If the old guy who stuck his head in my car was someone my age or even in his 40's, there would have been a much bigger problem...but he was a frail old geezer who probably in his day could have gotten something done at the police station with my license, but I knew he was just trying to be tough.
When I had my 88 Iroc-Z Convertible, right after I had it repainted white, someone in the neighborhood had a white eclipse that would race around on the streets with his massive fart pipe. A couple times the police came and knocked on my door after 9 or 10pm to tell me neighbors had complained. It took a couple visits before the neighbors got their stories straight and figured out who was making all the noise.
Another good one was my friends Jeep. He had an older lifted Cherokee with a 383 SBC and 4.56 gears, whenever he would shift from reverse to drive it would chirp the tires real quick. One time we went to go play in the mud, he was backing down my driveway and when he switched to drive it chirped the tires just enough to make some noise, he wasn't speeding or taking off fast. The state trooper at the end of my street happened to be out in his driveway throwing an absolute huge fit when we drove past. Couple days later I came home and had a message on my answering machine from the state police barracks about a complaint the trooper filed. My buddy was so pissed that he drove up to the barracks, asked for the trooper who filed the complaint and showed him how it chirps the tires when you go from reverse to drive.

If your car looks fast and sounds loud, then people will often think you are going too fast....even when you aren't. Go 25 in a 25 speed zone in a minivan and you probably won't draw any attention. Do the same speed in a Mustang or Camaro with a noticeable exhaust note and you will definitely get some attention.
i live right next to a park, so i don't really go over the speed limit (unless i'm in a real hurry, then i'm only going 5 over). but i've had the neighbors complain about my Camaro, Harley and Honda motorcycle so many times. i'm pretty much on a first name basis with half the cops here in town, because they've been over to my house so many times. i could literally idle down my street in the Camaro and the neighbors would call the cops on me. i don't even have the loudest vehicle on my block, one of the guys who lives up the hill from me has a 557 BBF powered Shelby Cobra kit car that runs longtubes and that's it. nobody ever complains about him.

I know this kid whose dad jumped on this kids 92 GT because he thought he was going to fast. Dumb ass jumped out in front of the car so the kid hit himand the guy went up on the hood and was handing on by the windshield wipers. The kid freaked out and drove off with this guy on his his hood and I think he ended up tossing the guy off the car.
I think the guy tried to sue him later for it. I can't remember how it turned out though.

Well, there's this one old lady who looks like a hobbit who lives on my road who thinks she lives in a retirment home or something. Nobody on my road likes her, all she does is complain about everything. Everytime i would ride my quad and go by her house she would give us a nasty look and i would just wave to her. One time she stood out in the middle of the road and stuck a broom out to one side, I stopped to listen to what she had to say... She said some b.s. about how my quad was too loud and i was going to fast or some BS like that, so i just left. So then my firend told his dad what happened because she had tried to stop us before, he went down there and was flipping out on her, it was the funniest thing i've ever seen, she tried to deny it at first, then she tried saying how she was doing it for our safety. Now she doesnt even look at me when i drive by in my car or my quad, but I left a burnout infront of her house that she can look at when she's cleaning her yard every week.

When I was a junior and HS and had my swapped 240 I would get harrassed all the time. I use to have to drive-thru an age restricted community to get to work, oh those cranky sumofabitches would drive me insane. It would never fail...slow down you are gonna run someone over. I kid you not I could be at a stop sign and people would come up to my window. Needless to say I was very pleased when the finally finished the alternative route to work!
I use to get it alot with my sixxer too. My exhaust was loud and the neighbor at my mom's house despise me. She was crotchy old broad too. She would even complain to me if my car was in the way of her window. My neighborhood now is awesome. My car is one of the quitest on the block. Between the General Lee clone, the GTO, the Dodge Ram and the Charger.

my whiny, pussy-whipped (wife made him sell his classic camaro), neighbor called the cops to steak out my street, cause i apparently "peeled out" a lot... In the tempo.
Then when i had the stang out, he told me that if i kept speeding around (my streets too short for me to speed on, unless i wanna wear the **** outta my brakes), that someone was gonna punch me in the face (?). I casually shut the car off, step out of it, and asked him. "Really? So who's gonna do it; you?" He replied with "No, but one of these days you'll piss off the wrong person and they'll come chasing after you and your mustang!" My response as i walk away laughing: "Hahahaha, thats a good one! Maybe you could do it if your wife didnt make you sell that camaro."
Jealous old people ftl.

Another awesome quote from my jealous neighbor:
"If you dont slow down, some little kid is gonna run out in the street and you'll hit him!" "... Theres all old people with no grandkids on our street... and your youngest daughter is like, 14 isnt she? Im pretty sure shes old enough to have the common sense to not run in front of cars, despite the example her father shows." "You have an answer for everything dont ya? Mark my words, continue driving like that and your gonna hit someone" "Nah, Im more careful when i just washed my car. Tires are usually still a bit wet, and you wont believe how hard it is to get little kid splatter out of the grille." *drives off*

i dont have many stories about that , but i definetly wanna here some from everyone. and definetly how you got back at them for being a douche
back when i was a hot head teenager I was going about 45 around a curve and the dude in the next house mouthed at me to slow down so i gassed it a little and he heard my exhaust , then i looked back in my rear view and he was in the middle of the road with his hands up in the air so then i let him hear the magnaflow at WOT.
I go the speed limit which is 20mph here. They can try calling the cops but legally Ive done nothing wrong and as for kids playing in the street. The street is not a smurfing playground.
Edit: They did call the cops one time but I wasnt speeding.

one of my neibors called my mom and ****ing complained they saw me "drifting" my bmw,
when i got home that night and got a huge lecture from my mom i ****ing lost it, ready to pound the **** out of whoever "saw me drifting"
i cant drift worth a ****, so really i guess it was a compliment, but I am mature and take responsibility for my actions, id expect whoever would like to complain about my driving to come to me personally...
There is NO excuse for exceeding the posted speed limit in a residential area. None.
Could you imagine what your life would be like if you hit a child because you were speeding? Even by 5mph! If you were speeding, game over. Period. Your life would be **** at best.
That is my most cardinal rule about driving. Residential areas are off-limits no matter how tempting.
That being said, I used to own a 68 Firebird 400/400 combo and would run through our neighborhood at about a 20mph roll in 1st gear. Well, needless to say, the revs were up there so it got attention (hey, I was 20ish at the time) and I would get fussed at by the neighborhood MILFS for 'going so fast'. I knew them all so when I saw them next time I explained that it just sounded like I was going fast. After that, no sweat.
Don't muck around in residential areas. The consequences could be dire.
5mph? Sounds like somebody was bored or senile.
