Muffler laws

i doubt it would hold up if you fought it seeing as you have an actual muffler.

if its only 1 person complaining the officers know its just them picking on you, if the car was seriously too loud other neighbors would complain.

it would be hard to deal with people like that without stooping to their level which is probably what they want you to do so i'd just act like it doesnt bother you and smile and wave everytime you see them like its no big deal, which will aggravate them more than any action. if they arent threatening you or guest or verbally communicating then keep it to simple mind games.

i recently had a neighbor that kept calling animal control on me for my dogs, saying they never got fed etc etc. eventually i had animal control investigating me, weighing my dogs behind my back and checking food/water levels daily. in the end they let me know what was going on and told me everything checked out fine. the women that had been calling happen to have over a dozen cats in her house and got cited for neglect and was forced to get rid of most of them. the whole time it was going on i would wave and act like she was my best friend and she would just flip me off most of the time. all this started when one of her cats came in my yard and got eaten by my pit bull. she came and told me that my dog was eating her cat, i loved into my back yard and said "yep, guess you should put your cats on a leash or teach them not to go back there". she said "i'm calling the cops on you" which lead to animal controls investigation.

so glad i decided to buy land back out in the sticks, now my closest neighbor is harleyville's chief of police and i couldnt be happier.
