Well, that escalated quickly. 
I heard back from my neighbor. He liked the icy cold 12 pack and said he'd keep one cold for me, any time.
He went on to say it was just an automatic reaction to the "loud noise" and all was good.
You all carry on...

Awesome. Sometimes people are having an off day for whatever reason and then they do or say things that they ordinarily wouldn't do or say. Plus he is most likely not a car guy because his automatic reaction would have been a thumbs up.

Well I scanned through this thread and first of all I don't post much, just sit back and learn. But I didn't see any one even mention the "LOUD" stereos in some of the cars that go by "shaking the windows". I do have a stereo in my car but I know enough that if you play it that loud, it not only annoys the neighbors but also hurts your own hearing. There I have said my piece and will await the flames that I can see on the horizon.

Some people enjoy having children (you know that they play and laugh and scream and run around), pets that bark, hobies that include building and driving modified cars, hot rods, Harley Davidson motorcycles, mowing their lawn, cutting and trimming trees and bushes with power tools, keeping their property clean with leaf blowers and edgers, cheering at sporting events, dribbling a basketball on their driveway while shooting baskets, etc, etc. So then I guess most people who do these things are inconsiderate? They OP was not breaking any laws, he was enjoying his passion. Did it occur to you that the finger flipper was in the wrong.

So what you're saying is that Americans are immoral, unethical and and with little political freedoms. And that our Country is smail, crowded and offers little pyhsical freedom and that Canada is a far superior country to the USA and that there are many, many other countries that are superior to the USA, ("too many to list"). 
: rofl:
Well, do remember what you said about Karma? I think you just pissed off most of the members of this site and will have quite a few people disagreeing with you on here. So what makes you so much more moral and ethical than me? What gives you the right to judge me or my fellow Americans?

As with all things that "freedom" provides, you are free to interpret it any way you see fit.
On the other side of the coin, "freedom" also dictates that I am free to judge any way I see fit.
"Freedom" also dictates that people can agree, or disagree, with anything you, or I, may have to say. That is, as long as it doesn't impinge upon anyone's right to live in a peaceful state.
Believing that roaring through a quiet neighbourhood is a demonstration of your freedoms, is about as misguided as your interpretation of my statement. It's akin to the alcoholic that refuses to admit that they have a problem, regardless to how much personal carnage it causes to those around them.

This statement is wrong on so many levels, I don't even know where to begin. Obviously you're confusing "purpose" with "hedonistic pursuit". You need professional help.

Are you an American citizen? If not the keep your comments about our Country to yourself. You, like all LIBS, are twisting my comment and I predict that you will continue to.

Hmmm, most Canadians I know are very polite folks. 
Maybe some one pissed in his Cheerios ,but my advice is if he believes Canada and Australia are the best countries in the world, so be it.
I served with Aussies when I was in the Army and they were a bunch of great people! But like everywhere there are just some people that are clueless and nasty so I'd say, don't waste your time.

"As you see fit", spoken like a true pompous windbag.
