OK I wanted to share a problem that I and others that live around me have been having with my neighbor. This dude has a ford diesel, an 08 I think, that he feels is mandatory to idle for like 30 minuets when the engine is cold. He does this with ALL of his vehicles as he thinks the engine will fail if he doesn't....lol His wife also owns a Hummer and she feels the same way about this idling routine as he does (the more idle time the better) and does it regularly as well.
They live next door to me in a single row type of house, so it is attached to one side of my house and he likes to park directly in front of it. I keep one of my vehicles that I rarely use parked directly in front of my house all the time to keep him from parking there because I have told him that him idling bothers me and it's apparent that he doesn't give a shit. Aside from my own home, I own the house on the other side of me that is next to an empty lot (my driveway) that his wife likes to park in front of and idle her vehicle there as well.
This dude goes to work at like 5am, and has his truck idleing in front of his house every morning at around 4:30am until he needs to leave for work at around 4:55 because he works right up the street. Like 3 blocks away and then he parks it...lol
His truck is very loud even idling and alot of the neighbors around here, including myself, have told him that this idling routine bothers them and wakes them up, and he just acts like he can't stop doing it. Dude is like borderline OCD about it.
Not only does the sound wake me/us up every morning, but I get the bonus of having my entire lower floor flooded with exhaust fumes for an hour or two after...lol
One of the other neighbors actually tried to park directly in front of his house to keep the idleing from bothering them so he had to park the truck on a side street a block down, but guess what, in the morning the dude starts it, and pulls around in the middle of the street in front of his house and let's it idle there. lol
I don't think there is anything legaly we can do, so none of us are sure what to do, if there is anything you can do, about this problem, but it really is annoying.
Can anyone think of something we can do to get through to this idiot?
