I'm usually more patient when comes to dealing with people in situations like this, although I wouldn't hesitate to take him to the court and have him pay for the court fees after he loses, I'd still try to approach him first and try to work out an "inbetween" solution. From the description "Mid-forties, hates kids and people making noises in garage..." he can very well be serial murderer material.
Do some research on HOA policies, most of the time HOA won't hold up against you since they don't "own" the streets thus they can't make any private laws outside what the city's own.
Finally, you sure this guy is in his mid-forties?! The way he writes sounds like an old fart in his 80's.

I am so glad I get along well with all of my neighbors. I have no patience for stupidity like that guy.

Yea I don't like your neighbor. But the best thing to do is come up with the best solution so both parties are happy. It's all good with me though neighbors here don't have a problem with my car.

2-step with anti-lag

thats what i had to settle with in my subaru....


no but seriously, like someone said before. Go around the complex and get some reports about the sound levels. if it bothers others than i would consider just driving off. it wont do harm to your car.

OR just have him install better windows. I live 5 miles away from the airport and cant even hear airplanes. The township installed sound proof windows in our whole house at no charge. Good windows wont let you head a car. let alone a car idling. Tell him to get a job and a social life and he wont hear you in the morning or coming home late at night.

All

When giving advise, remember this guy has a lot of neighboors. They all live really close without any landscaping to absorb sound (see below). Doing the 2- step at 3:00am will get this guy killed by a mob of angry people!

Windows and the like cannot stop low frequencies from coming though. The physical barrier will definitely have an effect on the mids; I didn't mention the highs as there are none. Low frequencies, OTOH, will pierce a physical barrier, sometimes even gaining amplitude via the provided reinforcement. FWIW, this stuff isn't always intuitive. HTH

That letter you wrote to him was profesional and very well written and leaves him speechless cause he can't say anything else other than jibberish.

I think it's called "being put in his place"

The dude never opened his letter.



I cant wait for the outcome of this meeting....you should read it infront of the group along with pass out pics of what he did/wrote.
