    Font - I live in an HOA, unfortunately. Our neighbors have taken the liberty of putting up passive aggressive signs like "Slow down, this is a neighborhood, not a race track" and "Drive

    Font - second. He still gives me the slow down sign, but I don't. I'm considering dropping into low 4wd so I can hit 6k rpm going 5mph infront of his house.

    Font - keladry12. 4 hr. ago Right? My thought is "my kids know not to play by the road, they always look before they cross, and would never in a billion years chase something into the street. Maybe teach yours to treat cars with respect too, if 15mph isn't enough for them."
