threats to car owners

That's mighty mature of you Ghostrider 67. How about an apology to the member you offended?
 
I keep my cars inside. I have very good neighbors and the cops are pretty good. I jump thru hoops not to antagonize my neighbors or the police. life is easier.

Okay children, listen up. I did not call Geri a bad name. If Geri doesn't like the word then she is free to not read any more posts with objectionable words in them. This is certainly NOT the first use of the word in question, anywhere on this forum. I for one do NOT subscribe to the PC boloney that has swept this nation of late. Everyone's feelings being hurt by this or that. Grow up everyone. Should we all as a society continually apologize when ever someone is offended? Not hardly. I feel VERY sure she has encountered the word before now. If you gents feel the need to leap to her defense be my guest. I stand by what I said, the description of the old woman is dead on accurate. I will NOT be told by anyone, least of all someone whom I do not know, how I will, or will not, express myself. It's not a word that I routinely use but it is part of the lexicon of the English language. Not that it's anyone's business, but I did immediately PM Geri and ask her to pardon me for it's use. My response on the board of asking if bitch was less objectionable was not meant to deride Geri for her response. I simply wished, out of curiosity, to know if she found that to be less objectionable. Get over yourselves..
 
In deference to everyone's delicate feelings I edited my post and deleted the other one. That will be the first, and last time that happens.
 
yes , i'm here in calif to have this issue all the time . it must not only run , but it must move in reverse and drive . but no reg required here . a bud in santa clara lost his 50 chev p/u because of that . towed it straight out of his driveway of his owned house . it was a neighbor that cause it all .
 
my father in law, a fellow combat vet, spent his entire adult life in the Us Army as an officer after growing up on a dairy farm. After he retired the only thing he really wanted was a pickup truck. just for yardwork and picking up lumber ect. His wife would never allow him to live in a place that didn't have an HOA so he never got to have one. He came over to our house often to drive mine around. Just silliness IMO.
 
I'm offended that others are offended.

Never lost a vehicle due to laws, but know all about it.
 
I'm torn, it's a conundrum...

I don't want to live in a neighborhood where some douchebag
has a bunch of junk he/she calls collector cars in his front lawn
or right next to me & my property either...
Not all people see old cars or even a Hemi Cuda or Superbird's etc.
especially rusty hulks, as art or collector cars even, they see old junk...

I may say look some cool old car or cool old Mopars etc.
But most people don't care about that **** all they care about is it makes
the neighborhood look shitty... Bad for property values....

IMO it kind of goes hand & hand respect for others,
know & respect for the laws & rules, if you live in a HOA,
you'd had to sign an agreement/contract
"stating you accept all rules", HOA that they deemed necessary...

Not being a douchebag & making a big deal about or collecting
a bunch of junk when living in the city, or burbs,
will go a loooooong way...
With the city, county, cops, sheriff or compliance officers,
doing their jobs...

Now if you live out in the sticks & the city or county pull the ****
then you got all the right to bitch & complain about it...

Nobody wants to live next to a dirt-bag that has 3 ft high weeds
or a crap load derelict {especially unregistered hoards} cars
all in the front lawn, it brings everyone's property down a notch...

I've lived in a couple places with HOA's
I knew all too well what I could & couldn't do,
I read & had to sign the contract/agreement
or not buy the house/property...
People that area bought & owned property in that area knew
"all to well what they got into"

I lived in Blackhawk in Danville Area, really strict HOA's
I also lived in Rancho Murieta Eastern Sacramento County for 10+ years
both are gated golf communities, I knew what I was getting into...
They had a policy you could have more than 1 more cars,
than licensed drivers at the house, even only driveway or garage parking
no street parking ever unless it was guests...

If you worked on your car you had to have the door down...
They didn't care if you weren't a dick about it
or made a bunch of noise late etc.
But you could get a permit to park more cars than you had drivers,
if they weren't junk, they had to be in the garage if they weren't current
or insured... Like my racecars were...
I could tell the gards at the gates I'm bringing my trailer in
& it will be there for so & so time, they never messed with me really...
I wasn't a dick about stuff either, my neighbors actually were friendly with me...

But a few people/pricks in my opinion, they just had to make a big stink
& fight it, the driveway parking stuff, they were those type I described,
just better off losers, nothing better to do than bitch & moan...
Loser that had enough money to live in a nice area, but were dirt-bags
that didn't give a rats *** about anyone else around them...

The HOA said; "we will illuminate the rule", it fucked a bunch of people...
Because of a couple losers, that could go get a damn permit,
that was free...
Just needed to register the car with the security,
so they knew it was supposed to be there...

I won't live in another place with HOA's like them...
But I don't like a bunch of crap in people yards either,
that make the neighborhood look trashy, living by me either...
I know it's their right to do what ever they want,
doesn't mean I have to like it either...

I keep all my **** in the garage or a carport or the shed,
usually always running, driving, insured & registered too...
It's only common decency to respect others that live around you...

Those douchebags that couldn't/can't follow any simple rules,
screwed a bunch of people that had no problems complying...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The only place I knew in Sac. Area that was like that was Gold River
by Sunrise area, by Rancho Cambodia {Cordova} or Orangevale it was
sort of rural upper class at one time, sort of horse/land bigger properties...

The persons in the OP
I'm wondering if he had a really bad time with everyone
or he ever dealt with city, county, state, neighbors negatively etc.
or most everyone all hated him, or he was an asshole to almost everyone,
or maybe he would bring a bunch of trouble on himself too,
he'd fight everything, or he was a real dick at times...
They don't just come down on you for nothing
unless someone made waves usually or it was trashy looking &
there were rules in place that they knew of & didn't care, did it anyway...

Most of that **** is self induced...

IMO you want to do that stuff, do it out in the sticks,
not in a city neighborhood, unless it's some hood or slum
inner-shitty like North Highlands Sac. or in South Sac. somewhere etc.
IMO where people don't give a **** how their property looks like...
Places I'd never live...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

IMO all their neighbors hate that person, that house is un-kept,
usually unpainted/pealing paint, with a shitload of derelict cars
unlicensed rusted hulks, wrecks, boats, wood, garbage etc....
That guy who says I'll get to it someday for decades,
never will or does...
Now they have the gal they call them collector cars, in the front yard,
a engine hanging from the tree, 2ft-3ft + weeds fence rotting & falling over,
dogs running lose, kids dirty/never bathed, screaming & yelling
at that house constantly & dressed in rags...
They wonder why the city is down on them...

I'm sure you all know some area or some property like that...

IMO it's one thing a couple cars, but when you have a tiny property
& it's filled with cars all over it, you're asking for trouble,
if you live in a densely populated area...

I know it's my land I can do what I want,
well some places it's just not like that & it's voted on by a majority...
You either comply or move, you can't beat the system...
It sucks for some, that are hoarders, but it's really for the betterment of all...
 
My neighbor 2 houses down has 5 old cars 65,66,67 and 2 69 fast back barracudas. Thankfully the 65 and 66 are gone. The notch back is the only one visible from the street. However he has a Dodge D-350 truck in the front yard a jeep cherokee an S-10 a Ford F-150 and 2 trailers. He was told last week by the local city Marshall he has until April 1 to get his **** cleaned up. Also he is the local scrap man so there is that too. I can take a picture of the house right next to him and his house and there is a night and day difference. Oh and I forgot his Buick Century. These are less than half acre lots. So you can imagine.

On the same note. I had the roadrunner in my driveway for nearly a year doing the restoration. I would work on it and at the end of the day clean up all my crap and leave nothing laying around. Cover the car up with a tarp and call it a day. Never had a complaint. The car was not registered or tagged. But it sat behind my fence until after it was painted. Once painted it became a front yard car. I mean who wants to see a gutted shell of a car all the time. I guess it really depends on who is looking at it and how it is represented.

HOA's suck and wouldn't live in a neighborhood if it had one. I live in the City limits so the tards have ordinances and that is what gets your **** towed. You have failed to comply with section so and so of city ordinance.. Next time I move I'm buying property in the country.
Funny thing is when I bought the house it was county. 2 years after I moved in I noticed a city sign of sign in the front of my neighborhood. So not only am I taxed county I have to pay city taxes as well. Oh and follow the ordinances or be fined. Soo yea..

I o live in rural Missouri and love the "its my property and I'll do as I damn well please" attitude around here. I can unload and roll the fueler out and fire it up -the only complaint are the neighbors cows-after running they only give buttermilk for a week. 5 acres ,20 miles from Springfield Mo, really classy (we have a paved road). although I don't trash my home there are rednecks around here who think their front yard is the garbage dump- and that is what eventually leads to county abatement programs .

the Cuda owner was a nice guy- he just set his jaw (Idaho term) that his property could not be invaded, his place wasn't trashy but it was not as well kept as it should have been -for a Cuda owner.. and the county did have people who did nothing but cruise the streets and out of the mainstream roads looking for this type of property. I had a fence in front of the access to my property with a gate built into the fence-when closed no one even knew it was a driveway, the shop behind the fence may have been a giveaway, I also had 12' wide garage doors put on both ends of that part of the shop I could bring a car in. and roll a car through into my back yard, secured with a chain link fence with a natural cover- I planted Bamboo along the fence line in 3-4 months the bamboo was thick and 10' tall,no one could see in. coming in the gate was impossible because of Max, my 170 lb rottweiler. he was really a big teddy bear but no one wanted to find out, heh heh.
 
All I can say is if you live somewhere like this move or fight it legally by getting enthusiast involved in overturning stupid laws like this! None of that B.S out here in the country of Ohio:thumbsup:

These stories just tick me off, that's not a free country when you can't do what you see fit with your own property.

There are guys that are dicks and women that are @#$%&, don't take it personally. Given his description of this lady I'd say she fits the bill.
 
Sadly the ordinances are broad and not specified to a certain object or thing. So if they are "called out" to your place for one thing they can then find other violations and that list can go on and on. Really depends on how cool the enforcement officer is at the time. Like for instance we have a "no livestock" ordinance here. That means no chickens,cows,goats,rabbits etc etc. However my neighbors defied that and we ended up having last summer being massively swamped with flies. Literally the worst invasion I have ever seen. You could literally fill a fly tape in 2 days. I suspect it was the nasty *** rabbits across the street and chickens they kept. They are gone now and with spring coming I hope the flies are too. It was terrible.

We have them here in Vermont as well. At the end of our dirt road there's a couple of families next to each other that have surrounded their homes (trailers) with mountains of trash bags and discarded toys and furniture, rusted out hulks of old vehicles. It's the only spot in miles that's like that and no one can figure out why they are not asked/forced to clean it up.

I used to live in MO. Up above Indian Point on 8 acres. Pretty close to Silver Dollar City.

I agree but the fact is the land is always property of the government via eminent domain, we get to rent it for a while, California car enthusiasts have been fighting laws introduced for years that would take away rights of ownership. at one point calif thought about setting an ascending year and all cars older than that no longer legal to drive- they actually wanted them turned in for junk. that got beat. legislators spend all their times proposing laws to make more things illegal, the purpose of government is to create offenders -everyone is violating law in something they do. the fines for breaking the law is what fuels government.
