Reply to "What do your neighbors say???"

Right on Mooso!

As for neighbors, I love mine. Most of them have some sort of hidden treasure in their garages. Lots of Porsches and FCars around me. They think I'm weird because I actually "work" on my car. But I know they feel uncomfortable that they know so little about their pride and joy.

They don't know how to open their hood. I gotta laugh. One guy next to me told me how his Porsche dealer said he has to change his tires every year, like his oil. And he goes along and pays through the nose. "Did you try Tire Rack first"? I asked. He never heard of it.

I asked another neighbor what he likes best about his 430. He answered, "I love closing the windows, turning up the stereo and driving along the highway."

My favorite question to ask them is "Have you ever put your foot to the floor and held it there for 15 seconds?" They roll their eyes at eachother like I'm from outer space.

Anyhow, they drive these cars rain or shine and wake me up every freakin' morning rushing off to work at some ungodly hour. I roll over in bed and mumble to my wife - Eddy 6:45, Steven 7:00, and so on.

Around 11:00 when I get up and eventually roll out of the garage, all their cute wives stroll over to chat with me. I'm the guy they wish their husbands were - minus the "you work on your Lamborghini yourself?" thing.

I don't know if the noise of my cat bothers them. But no one has mentioned anything to me in 10 years.
