Ya know, living in an apartment really sucks
 
Got a "talking to" by one of the managers for my T/A being started up in the early am by the office(didn't know someone actually lived in there). It's hard having 3 cars parked together. Just got home at 1 am and had to park in the other lane of spots away from my cars UGH. I just feel really bad for the people living here when I start up/drive the T/A home at night. Kind like walking on egg shells. :( And ofcourse not having a garage BLOWS. The vette is flying on jackstands prepping to change the cranks sensor in the am.......and I have long tubes on the car so a major PITA.

Went and saw inglorious basterds tonight and got home after 1 am. Ugh, I really want to change the exhaust and add high flow cats, and a catback after tonight to quiet the car down:-?

nah if you like your car you'll find a way...get your buddies to pick u up, bike, buy a beater..tons of ways.

dont these people understand that loud pipes save lives

rent a garage. use a quiet car to get to the garage, which will be in the sticks so no one can hear it when you start/stop the loud cars.

or, just grin and bear it.

I can relate when I lived in my apt. My garage actually was below an apt so I tried my best to get it in and out without much throttle the best I could. Never got a complaint but doesn't mean it couldn't happen. I say get a garage or grin and bear it as mentioned.

Jersey_TA 09-05-2009 08:00 AM

True. I get alot of head shakes leaving. I think the end of next year I'll be saving up for a house.

bubba428 09-05-2009 08:14 AM

Do what I do, I rent a house in AC. the owner used to be in and out on his Harley all hours of the night be for I got it, so the neighbors are broken in.

dont worry about it i live in a quiet neighborhood and everytime i start my SS people bitch. and it has 2 mufflers and a cat so no matter what they will find something to whine about.

To be fair, it's pretty god damn annoying when people make noise early in the morning. I was woken up sometime before 8am because someone decided to cut grass at the ass crack of dawn..

madness410 09-05-2009 02:41 PM

tsar was it on your campus by any chance? at kean i hear they do it at like 7 in the morning and if you live on the first floor if you dont wake up you are deaf or are wearing ear plugs to sleep

String 09-05-2009 03:27 PM

I got the same problem. I leave around 6 every morning for work. No complaints yet in 3 years but it will happen eventually Im sure. You can hear the exhaust echo off the other buildings.

Nah, I graduated in may so I don't have to deal with State College construction noise any more, just gotta deal with unemployment :lol: It was one of the neighbors who, for one reason or another, decided to cut grass sometime before 8...

When I lived on campus construction started at 8am, promptly, almost every day... I hated those construction people. They were right outside my uninsulated window too.

LTb1ow 09-05-2009 04:23 PM

Yea I hate when ******** drive down my street and park in my driveway with their loud ass cars. Friggen ********.


:)


I cringe when I leave at night or leave early in the morning... LOL ah well, not home all the time, so the neighbors can suck it.

JerzLT1 09-05-2009 04:44 PM

This was a few years ago. Just ignore the dyno numbers. That was with an unlocked torque convertor.

if they bitch at you or shake their heads, just point to your airforce sticker on the windshield.

BigRocsFirebird 09-05-2009 11:50 PM

yeah i like being loud but it sucks at times. my mom didnt want me going out all i wanted to do was go to wawa up the street. me and my friend pushed my car 15 houses down and stuffed the pipes with rags.

B4C 09-05-2009 11:59 PM
