We're pretty lucky. No fences around here so all the yards run together but we've got good neighbors all around us. No issues with anyone and everybody is really friendly. The yards around are all an acre plus, I think that has something to do with it. The closer people are packed together the more rude and intolerant of others they become. Where are the rudest people in this country? New York, Chicago, etc. Go to smaller towns and people are a lot nicer.

i am in a small town that is the funny part. These people are from NYC and man do they have a chip on there shoulders, but now they see how much i have done for them and i stopped doing it. now they are hurting to cut all that extra grass. I am about to do a formal complaint about the thorns and wild weeds he has in the back yard (since i am not cutting them anymore...lol)

A few weeks back my mailbox got destroyed by a young man who fell asleep at the wheel on his way home at about 4 AM one thursday morning and he finally landed in my old lady neighbors daughters yard where he hit 2 trees and totaled his truck. The young man came by and paid for my mailbox (I had gone to Home Depot for a new one) and installed it for me .He kept saying how sorry he was for the damage and I told him it was OK as it happens at least twice a year as we are in a bad curve and people underestimate it a lot .The old lady and her daughter are going after his insurance for all they can get even though it just scent the trees .I tried to tell him they were a little different ,Im just glad he wasnt hurt . So you are not the only one with them.

Some people are like that Flash. Get everything they can. We had a neighbors car roll out of his driveway and hit a tree. Barely made a mark on the tree. The neighbor hired a arborist and then went after the guys insurance. They payed her $2000 for the damage to the tree, and the tree is still standing and you can't even tell anything happen to it now.

We're on a corner lot too. The side street only goes to a court with the house behind us and the 3 on the other side of the street. Neighbor on the back corner of the court has a 70 Chevelle too. So a little engine noise and squealing tires is not an issue. Rest of the neighbors are pretty cool, we're friends with all of them and never had a problem. As you said, thank the lord. We had some good neighbors in our previous houses but as it usually goes there's always a least one a-hole. Glad I don't have any fences and glad we don't need them.
