New England B.S. Thread

Thanks for letting me know I wasn’t being crazy.

Honestly I have to believe they were just young guys who didn’t know any better but still. The shame is if they had asked about it, I’d have gladly chatted them up about it.

I was giving away some stuff on FB one time and a family showed up and they had a teenage son who was interested in my Vette so I let him hop in and check t out.

Gives me an incentive to clean up the garage to put it in.

I wish it were stick, I’m not a fan of the ZF trans in it.

 

Wow. That's even more restrictive then I thought MA was. I'd move.

 

That's a crock of shit, I won't get political, but I think we can see the writing on the wall.

 

Politics aside, it is a very restrictive state. Also very frustrating

 

Again another issue I wish wasn't political. We need good smart gun laws, but every one has to take it to their sides extreme instead of being freaking sensible. Because of this we end up with dumb ass laws that the police can use to harass someone who is trying to be a law abiding citizen.

 

That would definitely be incredibly frustrating. Only for a little while, though, since as mentioned before, I'd move

 

Had two neighbors who were upset about something, tell me "you'll see then" and then go home and start letting off rounds on our property lines.

I called the staties to report it as a threat, but not to press charges (figured it'd be good to have on record just in case, and they were using it as a threat because their previous threats to call the cops on me didn't make me back down from my posistion). The guy who answered the phone asked me why I was calling him about it, if I had a problem I needed to sue them. Besides the fact that it doesn't make sense, the police around here seem to have very different ideas on whats a problem. The only reason I called them in the first place was because a different state trooper who is sorta a neighbor told me I really should!

Even between two from the same barracks, they had vastly different interpretations of things.

This was 3 weeks ago.

 

See I don’t actually believe this was an issue from the cops perspective. It was more of a courtesy statement to save the guy from being hassled by other citizens that are not as gun friendly.

Ya I would feel like that is unacceptable. It doesn’t matter what state you live in, if an individual implies a threat and then follows up with shooting rounds off even at a distance then that should be dealt with accordingly. That is exactly the type of behavior that fuels the anti gun law shit

 

To top it off, it was 9 pm and pitch black out when target practice began. I am pretty sure he wasn't 500 feet from our property, but was plenty far from our actual dwelling. The neighbor can be rash, and is getting very old, doesn't recall conversations with me and acts like he's never seen me everytime we meet. I've spent about 8 hours on the phone with him and 10 in person, most on his property riding around with him. So the fact that his mind seems to be wandering is my real concern.

 

In this situation, the cops didn't hassle him, but it still is a law that the cops can use.

 

Just a few

 

Cool

 

That fat bike looks.......phat!

 

I have a unicycle.

 

The stuff you blasted off was the Rustoleum Bed Liner so you have a good idea how that’s held up.

 

That would cause a concern with me. I purposely bought a house where I did so I wouldn’t have to deal too much with neighbors. Granted they’re not that far from me but I can’t stand the idea of taking a gamble Living next to someone you absolutely hate for your entire life. I do have a very slight issue with one of my neighbors though. I have only talked to him once and he introduced himself while holding the survey to his property so you can guess where that went.

Not to mention he was super condescending and at first was discussing things with my father in law who happened to be standing outside. It seemed like he had an issue with the fact that a 28 year old bought this house and was in shock at the fact that I had the ability to purchase it.

I can understand this if you have an unreasonable cop. It is kind of ridiculous. I would no doubt open carry if it wouldn’t cause a scene everyday because IMO open carry is safer than concealed

 

These fat tire bikes intrigue me but I’m not 100% sure on the purpose. Is it for better traction on terrain?

 

P

I have an uncle that has one. He rides it on the beach all summer and in the winter rides trails after it snows. He loves it

 

I mainly use it in the winter. It lets you ride year round. But you can ride fat all year round. The fat tires are great for newbies to mtn biking, they pretty much roll over everything. Riding in the winter is a blast. Snow changes the trails, and it makes you a better rider in the warm weather. You developed different skills on snow and ice. @morri89 @Dgibson529
