Do you make house calls for muffler work?
Or shall we drive it over?
Even a cutoff saw and a little banging during the day is no noisier than the mowers, chainsaws, and weedwackers we hear all the time, not to mention the rowdies at havana.
I'm sure coolant, motor oil, and trans fluid running into the streets would not fly, though.Of course in 'the day' we used the storm drains as grease pits. Tsk tsk.
