You could grow up and realize there are other people in the world besides you.
The same thing applies to the guy who idles his car - there are 16 other units in our building and other houses in our neighborhood. I know I'm not the only one who gets upset when he idles his car unnecessarily every morning.
Live in a house like a White person. Apartments are for niggers.
Yeah I know, yet it's all I can afford right now while I wage slave while putting a good chunk of my savings into crypto. Hopefully within a few years I'll be able to buy a house in another state with my crypto gains.
As a regular purchaser and seller real estate, I have yet to see a title company that will deal in internet money. Good luck.
Depends on the car. They probably are trying to warm the oil, cool the turbos after driving hard, or maybe prevent the cat from being clogged with oil.
It's a Fiat rally car - he might be an amateur racer because there's a bunch of stickers on his windows - the muffler has a whiney snowblower sound.
To be honest I think it's just the higher pitched tone that irritates me - lawn mowers & snowblowers don't bother me because they usually give off a lower bass tone. Weed wackers and chainsaw sounds kinda irritate me but I rarely hear those so I'm pretty tolerant of them.
So, it's a turbo 4 cyl. Chances are, with a straight-pipe.
You should know... Just as every other person here, you need to let your vehicle warm up, before you put it in gear & take off. You also need to take it easy with the accelerator, until the engine is up to temp. At least wait 10 secs. before you take off, then don't romp on it, until your oil is up to operating temperature.
That has nothing to do with your situation, I know... Just with some of the comments I've seen, thought it may help save an engine or two.
I want to side with you, I can imagine how fucking irritating it is. Now, you said it's probably a rally car with stickers & shit... But he's in an apartment complex... & Drives it every day.
A couple people here had good points, saying to use it as motivation to move the hell out of there. I agree.
Wait, you said it's a Fiat?
Okay, is it a classic Fiat? It doesn't sound like it, based off what you said. It is probably either a Fiat 500, or a Fiat 500 Abarth. Listen, if it is a base model 500, this guy is a faggot who cut off the exhaust, & ...IDK what you could do. Bitch at the apartment tenants? File a noise complaint?
If it is a 500 Abarth, it is a turbo 4 Cyl. (which has no muffler) & has a fake crackle/burble sound in the exhaust to sound cool.
I could understand your issue, especially if you're not a car person. With a turbo though, yes it needs to warm up, & he's just being responsible. Still, those four bangers are raspy as hell. In this case, there's not much you can do. It's a stock car, & if you complain, it'll just create drama when he finds out who complained.
I apologize, I never intended on writing this much. I can just see this from both sides, as a car guy, & someone who's lived at a shit-hole fucking apartment complex, & a duplex.
Look at the emblems. If you see little scorpion badges on all four sides, I guess you have to deal with it. If it just said "FIAT", you may be able to get him to put the muffler back on (depending on your state.)
It's a 500 series - might be an Abarth if he idles it every morning. Thanks for the info.
Just deal with it knowing when you save up and buy your house you will appreciate it that much more.
Success is a mind game.
He was idling his car and wiping it down outside and doing a little shuffle dance.
This can't be real.
I was groggy when I peaked out my window so maybe my mind was playing tricks on me, but it did look like he was good mood while wiping down his car.
During the winter months, I idle my truck for at least 10 minutes every day to defrost the windows and warm up the truck. I guess that makes me an asshole, huh?
I understand the need to idle in freezing temps, but anything over 5 minutes is excessive - especially if it's every day. Your car/engine won't freeze overnight if it was used less than 12 hours prior.
I got a chevy with a quadra jet 305 and it takes a minimum of 15 to 20 minutes to warm up in winter.
Cars and trucks with turbos need to be warmed up before use and cooled down before shut off or the oil lubricating the turbo will coke up the bearings. All diesels should be warmed up to temp before use. So apparently everyone who owns either is an asshole by your standards. I will give you a pass though because the dude has a loud exhaust. And no Harleys dont have loud exhaust for "safety", if anyone puts loud pipes on a Harley they are just doing it for attention and are douchebags, the same holds true for cars.
Lives in apartment crammed with niggers. Complains about niggers. MOVE NIGGER.
You think I want to live here? It's all I can afford in a somewhat decent area that isn't an overpriced gentrified area or the ghetto with actual nigs.
Ok best answer you will get here: Remove his valve stems. You will need a special tool but its worth the $$. The tires will be flatter than a pancake. He will have to tow the car before a mechanic explains the valve stem to him. He'll be out like $500-1000 after it all.
Best part is that you didn't vandalize anything. Tires are not slashed. No destruction of property. Just an expensive lesson.
Remove his valve stems.
Removing the stems and putting back the cap would give the mechanic a few hours before he finds out the stem is missing. loool he would have to remove the tires and put it in a bubble bath to find the hole, but wont find anything. Too funny.
Sugar in the gas tank?
