Would it be bad to say... blow up this guy's Jetta?

I have some guy who lives in the building next to mine who drives a riced out jetta. It seriously sounds like a motorcycle with no exhaust pipe. He runs it up and down the parking lot, past my window, at wide open throttle every day. And it's not like he's just going back to his building to park, either. He'll run the car up and down the lot 4 or 5 times before he goes and parks. I don't know if he thinks he's going to impress people, or if he's practicing launching his car in the parking lot, or what. It's annoying as hell though, cause he usually does it between 11:00PM and 1:00AM.
 
Petition for speed bumps?

Or take matters into your own hands and construct a makeshift spikestrip? (thin ply wood, 60 nails, hammer...)

Rant speaking:

put bunch of jack stands in his way.


Realistically speaking:

Keep track of exact time he does this. Call your city's nuisanes complaint line and explain everything. It's quite likely that they can send an undercover officer at the time violations most often occur and if his exhaust sound tips a needle off the limit on their dB meter, he gets a ticket. If you have a camcorder videotape him. Photographic evidence is rather helpful.

If that doesn't work call the police whenever he does it.
 
I don't really want speed bumps, cause then I (and everyone else) would have to drive over them. With the spike strip, I'd have to wait outside for him, and throw it in front of his car, and then he'd see me.....
 
shoot him with a bb gun out your window, since it is the middle of the night, he woud never know who it is.
or just yell" shut the fvck up before i cap yo a$$", that will get the whole neighborhoods attention, and they will soon follow.
 
Call the cops - he has to be violating some noise ordinance. Or you could find out where he lives, drive around to there, and just rev the hell outta your engine at 3 in the morning.
 
Make some potholes! 😀

Or you could just prop his car up on bricks and hide his wheels...don't damage anything or you moght get in more serious trouble...hehe
 


<< Go to Home Depot and buy a brick, it should only be about $0.50. >>


Actually, old sparkplugs work great too 🙂
 


<< Put some sugar in his gas tank.... >>



LOL DAMN RIGHT MAN!

My dad has a pontoon boat that we have in our sideyard, not fenced in. We had 2 20 gallon gas tanks on the back and they both got ganked. We put a new one on, it got ganked. So we bought 2 new ones, filled em both, added 3 bags of sugar each. needless to say our neighbor had some really really bad engine problems in his 2001 Dodge Ram 🙂
 
there's a home depot about a mile from here, and I think I've got some broken spark plugs 🙂

I could go rev my engine outside his window in the middle of the night, but that wouldn't be very curteous to everyone else living in these buildings. I was thinking about trying a note on the windshield, see if that helps. If it doesn't, I should try some of these suggestions.
 
A: pair of plyers and mod his exhaust.

or

B: Grab a whistle throw it in his exhaust pipe and surround it with spray foam. It may sound worse but i think he would get the idea.

LMAO! That's good. 😀

Haha.. B would be pretty funny..
If you're set on doing something evil, give him some sugar. 😉 Heh.. You could put in like, a cup a week.. give him a slow death... lol

EXCELLENT IDEA! that slipped my mind completely. Even better, clamp that bitch shut 🙂 Itll only take a few seconds. Creep up to it, jump down under right quick, (oh yeah, u need them bigass pliers) and give it a good pinch. Chances are his cheezy ass exhaust is some cheap shyt with a pretty muffler, so it'll pinch quite nicely.

LOL thats nice too - a few too many trips to his car. just shut him down quick if you go that route. less chances of being caught.

fyi: that expanding foam is highly flamible, and inredidble stinky when burned...i would know.


Personally? I would tell him in person, to either stop doing it or race over it. I am sure your car could whip his jetta, so settle it at a red light, and let that be the end of it. If he cant go down, and lower his pride, then call the cops.

good luck
 


<< 1. buy 2 bananas

2. place said bananas in tail pipes 😀

Cheers,

You're forgetting what a ricer's exhaust pipe looks like. the banana's would be like trying to plug a water main with a pencil.

Hmm back to drawing board, you could squeeze it into an apple/potato...
 
lol.. it seems like putting sugar in the gas would just foul your plugs real fast. would it really cause serious engine damage?

I've always wanted to do it to one of these old lawnmowers I have laying around, just to see what it does.. lol

Sugar is a polar chemical and is insoluble in non-polar solvents such as gasoline, therefore it will just get caught in the fuel filter. Powdered sugar might be able to pass through fuel filter and make it's way into engine though, but it will probably just burn along with gasoline.

That's a good time of day to put a laser pointer to good use, give him something to think about when he sees the little red dot on his dash.
