Agreed. Pissing off your neighbors is generally poor form. You could say the same for rolling through the neighborhood with a stereo thumping and the windows rolled down.

Not in my neighborhood, but a friends today, and this happened to me. Just secondary cat delete, going about 20mph and some woman went all momma bear on me and stood in the center of the road with her hands up sky high. The funny thing was I was still quite a ways away, going slow, so I could tell how stupid she felt when she realized just how long it took me to reach her and her kids. Then she figured out I'm that same courteous guy that drives slow and normally in my Ford Edge.
