My girlfriend says hello if they are out of the house as well as I'm the polar opposite. I don't say anything and I go to my house or to wherever with a purpose. They have never formerly met me as I was never around or was unavailable so I bet they have a negative opinion of me.
Obviously with very good reason as you've demonstrated how incredibly rude you are. No, not simply "unsociable" but plain rude.

OP, grow up and develop at least a semblance of social grace. I'd bet a huge amount that if you'd demonstrated even a shred of it from the beginning this would never have been an issue. Too bad.
Where does he park the truck and trailer when you're parked there?
He has to take it to another street. My GF and his wife do talk on occasion. Though my GF doesn't know about the issue between me and him. I don't know about his wife's knowledge or lack thereof. I'm not the first neighbor he has had a problem with.
Apparently, a former neighbor had beef with the same vehicle's parking habits in the past to the point that he wouldn't sweep sharp objects off his curb so the truck ran over it and puncture his tires.

I haven't been rude at all. I've just never spoke to them. That isn't disrespect or rudeness. It's not like I insulted him or done anything. You and this guy are way too sensitive.

Grow up? This would have still been an issue. Apparently this isn't the first time this is an issue. He has already picked a fight with someone about this before. You would expect me to be best friends and have a cup of team with him. The friendliest of neighbors usually are the nosiest. All I have done is go in my house and every time they have came to the door or garage. I was busy so I wasn't available at the time. That is it. They took insult to it so they have the problem. Maybe they need to develop some social grace because they lack understanding. I have social grace but you don't have basic common sense.

I've never lived in a burb that allows on street parking. Nothing looks junkier than cars parked on the street.
It is very common in the northeast where developers don't think about personal occupancy and recreational vehicles when they plan and build residences. If people aren't careful when buying real estate in the northeast they can end up owning a home that really crimps their lifestyle.
"I haven't been rude at all. I've just never spoke to them".....LOL
Actually you were quite rude when you couldn't be bothered to take a few minutes and come to the door and just introduce yourself.
Per your post you're outside when they are, but you can't be bothered to wave or just say hello.
While he is a jerk, you could have nipped this in the bud.
Years ago I worked with a woman who wouldn't even speak to coworkers unless she had to, you would pass her in the hallway and if you said "hello" she would ignore you.
Well her car died on her, and even though there were coworkers who lived near by no one offered to give her a ride back and forth to work...LOL.
Sometimes making a little effort goes a long way.
Again you don't have to become friends, but just showing some basic social skills can go along way. Ever think you might want to go on vacation and have someone keep an eye on the house for you? When you can't be bothered to even say hello do you most people are going to report or chase away someone who might be up to no good on your property?

We have a similar situation here with parking being tight. Most of the time there is a car parked in front of our house which can be annoying if you want to drop something off and leave again. It is what it is. First come first served. I wouldn't stress about having to look at a junk car in front of our house. Sooner or later the car will die and go to bone yard heaven. Then I would have wasted all that negative energy being unhappy when I could find countless other things to be a curmudgeon about and make myself even more miserable, antisocial and mean. I prefer to live and let live. Life is nicer with that attitude.
This issue probably stems from the fact I never got along with them.
Note that he has done you a big favor, or kindly ask him for a big favor. Preferably about his business. Thank him for the big favor and give him public thanks for the favor. Perhaps write a favorable review about his business. It's the Benjamin Franklin diplomacy technique. He will then change his attitude.
