Prelude in Baltimore Suburbs Driving Me Nuts!

Argh, I've got this guy that drives a late 90's black prelude in my neighborhood. Modded intake and exaust. Its a decent looking car. The thing is, he insists on revving his engine and immediately redlining it through the neighborhood every time he comes and goes. This gets really annoying and I've got a baby on the way. I'd like to get it resolved before I commit any crimes of passion. Any ideas?

Oh, I really don't want things to get nasty because its a neighbor so no exteme solutions like putting water in his gastank or an M80 in the tailpipe please.

Best bet is to follow him back and talk to him. If he has an attitude then have more people go talk to him. And no, don't follow him at break neck speeds like you are chasing him, just casually follow him to his place (if you can) and speak to him.

Around the Rt3/424 area there are tons of jackasses. Just saw a purple modded Mustang do a 180 in the middle of the street on 424 just down from Beaver Creek Daycare last week. Needless to say lots of folks followed him down the road and probably to wherever he was heading.

LOL, doing great, how bout you? Expecting my first baby in July. Part of the reason why this is getting irritating for me.

To all, I think talking or a note would probably be the best bet. A guy in a Turbo eclipse did the same thing last year but blew his engine so I didn't have to worry about that. Any tactical approaches? What should I say?

The dude seems pretty meaty, I don't think punching would be the best course, nor would sugar in the gas tank, which would undoubtably lead to more punching.

Donate some money to your local constabulary...then call them up and report someone racing up and down your street and your fear for your and your significant other's lives since the moron is a hazard.

They can deal with it...permanently.

I was thinking the same route Bret, make notes of the time so you know when to have the po po to show up.


Then report him to ricecop.com
