Maverick Hingle was known in the neighborhood for giving people free rides in his stylish neon blue Dodge Ram "monster truck". The truck also has rainbow colored lights at the bottom. He thinks that by sitting extra high, he's flying high. Many people find the truck to be annoying, & they've tried to petition to get the city to get rid of the nuisance truck. If it ain't the loud engine, then it's the loud music. He put so many miles on that thang, people are surprised that it's not driven down to the ground yet. They pray every day for that DEMON truck to just crash out & die.
Every single morning, his neighbor across the street, Dirk Davis, cusses him from A to Z for revving & idling the truck at 4 AM. Cops won't do anything. Poor Dirk is at wits end. He's had ENOUGH of so many sleepless nights & heart attacks! Maverick resorted to firing back & calling Dirk, "Dork", instead. He tells Dirk, "Oh, you stop worrying about me & go get a job, Dork! You have nothing better to do." But Dirk had a successful online business that he was running, working from home.
Dirk started googling online about loud music & found out about this phenomenon, called "boom car noise", & it helped him get some closure on what he was experiencing. He luckily moved out of that neighborhood, sold his house, & then started living & traveling nationwide with peace & quiet. Not having to worry about neighbors from hell anymore. He explored nature every chance he got.
Maybe Maverick felt some remorse for what he did & tried to cover it up, pretending like he was turning a negative into a positive. He was hoping that by beginning to give people free "Uber/Lyft" rides in his nuisance truck, his antics would be forgiven, or that he would receive some redemption. Well, it only worked with some people. Some people were willing to pay for him to get extra speakers to make the truck even louder. They would tip him big bucks to have him to chauffeur them from St. Louis, Missouri to Las Vegas & Hollywood. All that doggone noise! Maverick was the free cross-country taxi guy.
Well, he ended up doing what Dirk was doing. Dirk was the quiet version, & Maverick was the loud version. At least, when Maverick moved out of the neighborhood & started living & traveling around the country, the people in that neighborhood had peace & quiet restored.
