Someone threatened me yesterday because my BRZ is "waking up his kid".
I park on the street and I'm about to take off and someone pulls up beside me and threatens me saying "you better stop waking up my kid.. or we're going to have a big problem" all threatening and hostile like. Young guy, didn't look friendly and has mean-mugged neighbours etc. I haven't even seen or noticed him before, but now I realize he's about FIVE homes up the street. It's a catless, 2015 Limited. This car has literally got me threatened by a neighbour
. Apparently it rattles neighbours windows and my gf defines it as "a rocket ship about to take off". It's only problematic (no excuse for this guys behaviour as it's definitely borderline criminal to threaten harm to someone for that reason) but I work an Emergency Service where some mornings I'll need to be somewhere for 2AM, or 5AM etc. maybe once or twice a week. Starting it up about 3-7 times a day. I explained this to him and explained it's my livelihood and he just said "that's not my problem" sticking with his original threat.
It seems like my options are..
- Don't change anything.
- Move
- Get it catted?
- Get a new car?
All I've been doing recently is..
1. Starting it, putting it in reverse and moving it back a foot or so (quiets it down) and start driving away slowly right away (in -20C weather).. before I guess I'd ONLY let it sit for a minute or two but I guess those 2 mins is very loud . And driving home slower, not revving or anything like it in my neighbourhood.
Or...!! the most logical... file a police report.
Except.. I live in Ontario, Canada and I'm pretty sure? that it's illegal to have catless here? I'm not ENTIRELY sure google is very misleading. So wouldn't this backfire?
Any advice or suggestions for this entire situation would be VASTLY appreciated!
