On the other hand, the O.P. was driving a vehicle that was not street legal in terms of the exhaust, and was being very inconsiderate to his neighbors although he seemed to be fairly unintentional about his inconsideration, if that's possible. Yes, his neighbor could definitely have handled it better, but the neighbor could have called the police instead of extending the original poster the courtesy of talking to him face to face about this issue. Personally, I'd rather have someone who is bugged with me tell me to my face. If they're right, then I apologize and try to make things right. That's not giving in to a bully, that's doing the right thing.

To add that that... he had to have known whether or not his car is THAT loud. Hell, I put the Camaro exhaust to it's stealth mode if I'm leaving super late at night or early in the morning - and it's stock. I'm not a fan of loud exhausts so that's the only car that would ever remotely bother a neighbor. I had a neighbor that had a harley that would leave at 5:30AM, he would wake me up every morning.. (and like the OP I have a train that goes by throughout the night probably 50-60 yards from my window). He admitted it was a concern of his and he changed his habits to fix it.

In far less time than this OP has been p&ssyfooting around in this thread.
