you should show him this thread and film his reaction.

I'm usually not one to let the other person win in situations like this, but if this has been going on for years then it's just not worth it... I would move OP. Your quality of life will be so much better and you only get to live once.

New update.

After getting that car towed away, we have a replacement. A... truck???

I don't know if it's his, I think someone loaned it to him, as I saw someone drop it off and then leave in another car about a week ago. But he's been spending all his "car time" with this truck lately. And he doesn't let the car run like he does with his other cars. He's not messing with the engine either. More maintenance-y stuff. So apparently he thinks he needs to let the car run with the Spyder and Lancer only, not the truck. But he does do something to it everyday that's noisy and goes on for about half an hour. I can't tell what it is, it's boxed in and there's a fence in the way, so I can't see unless I walk over there and go down the driveway, but it sounds like he's putting air into one of the tires. But I don't think that's what it is. The sound is just similar to the sound one of those air machines makes. Anyway, it goes on for about a half an hour, then he bends down underneath the truck and he stops it, then goes back inside.

Also, he seems to have ditched the orange shirt after wearing it everyday for about 5 years. Every time I've seen him over the last couple weeks, he's been wearing this yellow reflector vest over a blue coat. So I thought maybe he got a job in construction, but he never goes anywhere. He'll just take the trash out, and mess with the truck and go back inside.

 

[Virt McPolygon]

Hope he never gets an ice cream truck, otherwise he'd let the song play for hours.

 

[Dthomp]

This is my favorite thread on GAF, however I'm afraid one day the update will be "I went over there and beat him to death with a car part". I have no idea how you keep putting up with this DragoonKain

Maybe the orange shirt was to maximize his roadside visibility all along, and now he finally upgraded to the real deal. This guy's moving up!

You're not getting away that easily. Pics or GTFO!

I'll get em, it gets dark at like 4:30. Hopefully tomorrow.

I hate to bump this with no significant development, but I saw this today and couldn't stop laughing.

So apparently the dude got a job(finally). Hooray for him.

He also installed this thing on his Lancer roof for some reason that holds what looks like hedge or bolt cutters. Why he did that instead of putting them in the trunk is beyond me.

But the color of the handles of them match the car's color scheme. And one of them says "Beast" on the handle.

Is his side view mirror and wiper arms wrapped in aluminum foil? Also, his green bolt cutter doesn't look like it's secured on the back. Wonder when it will bounce up and smash out his windshield.
I love your updates. Your neighbor is a sitcom character.

 

[Warnen]

Think those are bike racks

Trying to find a normal part of the car is like 'Where's Wally?'.

So many places of WTF? to find out in that pic.

 

[poodaddy]

I always get so excited when this thread is bumped. This is my favorite internet drama by far.

It looks like aluminum foil, I think it’s some type of decal that wraps around with a bunch of stuff on it.

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was made of aluminum foil at this point though.

 

[haxan7]

I wonder if he actually tracks that car or it's just his daily.

 

[Rest]

You've never seen a bike rack before?

 

[*Nightwing]

I’d like to imagine he has found religion, and finally got his license to preform Bris ceremonies a la Jewish faith, and that’s his work vehicle and tools to air them out after each use.... But not giving up the lifestyle and staying true to his roots

 

[AJUMP23]

He added bolt cutters and a bike rack...I wonder why..

 

[Rathalos]

It would drive me up the wall, what an absolute thunder cunt. Bad neighbours can really ruin your life.

 

[Durien]

I have had a really PITA week. Some of the responses in this thread had me literally laughing out loud. Thanks all for giving me the laughs I needed.

 

[quickwhips]

it says beast so you know the answer.

DragoonKain thanks for the post. I was wondering what was going on in the Saga of DragoonKain.

 

[The Pleasure]

I love this saga. It's almost lile a greek epic
And then, he put THIS on his roof! This topic enthralls me more then some games.

 

[infinitys_7th]

It's his new job of increasing the total happiness of the world.

Why does he have bolt cutters that say BEAST on them with monster energy tint guard?

 

[black_13]

Haha guy seems like quite the character. I got a few neighbors that come out and talk to me if I even got the pressure washer on after 9pm.

I did have some loud ass exhaust cars and would go to work every morning for a few years while I had that car but max it was 2-3 minute idle and drive off.

DragoonKain appreciate the updates man.

I know the pain regarding neighbours.

Hey, at least you get some silly fun out of it in this thread. All I have are torture fantasies...

Imagine your new gardener rolling up in this, and knowing that every penny you pay him is going towards this.....hobby.

 

[DESTROYA]

WTF is that on the hood of his car? SpongeBob ? Tools ?
Why the hell does he have unfunctional hood vents covered ? They are just for show.

 

[Patrick S.]

Does that car have drum brakes in the rear?!

 

[Jaysen]

The mating call of the loser.

 

[Cravis]

Bike racks hahaha. Does he even own a bike? Much less many bikes which would necessitate the need for a bike rack?

I can’t think of a legit, ahem legal, job that would call for bolt cutters to be so readily accessible like that.

 

[Later Alligator]

its a base lancer with a bunch of autozone swag glued onto it

it'd be like tracking a honda fit or chevy cavalier

 

[usctrojan]

Did we ever find out what kind of truck he got?

 

[j0hnnix]

Man that thing got a Monster sticker. Shit probably hit 700hp to wheels just for the sticker and the bolt cutters probably to get to his engine and cut the hidden hood pins. He's a beast alright.

The „bolt cutters“ are the part of the bike rack that attaches to the bike frame:

 

[RJMacready73]

Can't believe you put up with that shit for years, I would've simply burned out his car one night or thermite through the engine block which I seen in a YouTube video that looked class but for simples sake a petrol bomb through the window is the easiest

 

[MachRc]

Thank you OP for the great thread! made my day go fasterer last friday.

I was at Jack yesterday before heading out on a roadtrip and saw a monster themed civic and thought of your neighbor.
The driver of this car was smoking a cigarette in line while waiting, then put on a green wig with a santaclaus hat on before getting to the window.

gotta catch em all

 

[nemiroff]

I think "befriending" him and offering to help him towards his goal (car stuff) at the same time you open up about how the situation affects your life. It takes some effort but might be worth to try at least.

Edit: oh wait, its an old thread, I need to read the entire thread in case of updates..

What is stopping OP from sinking money into his own drift car?
OP should race him for pink slips, win, and then drive the car to the nearest salvage yard.
Don’t just stare into the abyss, OP.
Become it.
