Why do not you want to discuss with him the issue?
Take a bottle of vodka (or a box of beer, or something that Americans drink in such cases), shod old army boots pre-dirtied in the nearest ditch and go to visit him.
If the guy is no fool - across a couple of hours you will be best friends and neighbors.

I have talked to him twice ! He is new to the hood here his great aunt died and left him the house . Frankly ya I may just cut his front grass for him . As for waiting until he cuts it I never know when he may decide to cut it ! One week he cuts it on Saturday one week he cuts it on Thursday .

I never know when he is going to cut it . having said that I can't go around waiting to wash my damn car until this idiot decides to ncut his grass . And I have already got a ft and a half killed with round up way ahead of you :O)

I have a garage but its my woodshop . May have to turn it back in to a garage again I guess . Thou I really like my woodshop .

I have even tried to buy the damn house o well life goes on he won't stay around here long iam sure . I figure he will lose it to the tax man sooner or later and I can buy the 5 lots and tear down the damn house and build me a 3 car garage to go with my 2 1/2 I have now and keep my woodshop .

1) buy some weed and grass killer
2) Spray on neighbors lawn in the middle of the night
3) watch as the grass dies
4) Grab a beer and enjoy your nice clean car!

Are you parking on the street in front of his house, or is this in your driveway which abuts his front lawn. If it's the former, you gotta move bud.... If it's the latter maybe you can make an agreement with him to take care of the 5 feet of lawn closest to your driveway. Also - just where is the property line? Maybe some of the lawn he's mowing is already yours. I would be hesitant to tell him you'll mow his lawn for him. That will leave you open to him now bugging you about the appearance of his lawn. Just my $.02....

All things considered, I think that Marshall may have hit on a workable plan, swallow your pride and work out an agreement to be the caretaker of the patch of grass that causes you the issues. Neighbors can either be really good folks you love having next to you, or they can be royal pains in the butt, you have the latter I'm afraid.

Revenge is very nice - but it's a vice. Reserve for emergencies.
Compromise - a temporary measure. Tantamount to losing.
If a guy does not understand the good word - you are punishing him the dollar. Easy to understand even the moron.
Next time do not be nervous. You Officially fixed the fact of dirt on the car (do not know how to do it in America, probably with the participation of sheriff). Then - wash a car in a specialized cleaning and deliver the account to your neighbor to pay. After paying the 2 - 3 accounts he wiser.
If it does not help - just beat him in his stupid melon. to the teeth fell out. Not a solution, but compensation in the form of pleasure. At trial, say - "affective state", the sheriff it confirm.

Most towns have ordinances that deal with noise, such as mowing. By me it's no earlier than 8am M-F, and 9am Sat-Sun. Look into it, then speak to him again. If he doesn't listen then call the police & town. His 6am mowing must be breaking some noise law...

Or make believe he is frankenstein, storm his home with your neighbors and townsfolk who are probably pissed at him also, then burn down his castle.
