OK. I got it now. Makes sense. I have mine on storage insurance, can't be driven or moved except by me once I call the insurance company and take them off. Ends up only being about 80$ for both my vehicles a month until I get back.

That's a nice looking fleet Brad. I thought I was bad on having too many vehicles!
Little OT, but kinda part of the conversation. The little town I live in is trying to act like a big city and have so many regulations. If you can have a fenced in area, what can be behind it, etc. Can't have old cars around unless licensed. My property is grandfathered in, but now nobody can build a fence to put their old cars in! Bunch of idiots. Town of 700 in the middle of nowhere, give me a break. My blood pressure goes up too much when I think about it. Anyway, I'm going to an auction for a house just a block out of town, has 16 acres with it and a couple sheds. I'd like to move out there and rent mine out. I figured I could move there and line up 4-5 parts cars/trucks in the front yard for all to see as they come into town!
Could get real interesting if I did that means I work part time for the city too..

Well, I think it's retarded that you are limited to how many vehicles you have on your property! What you need to do is get a personal business license. I think my grandfather was saying it was only less than 40 bucks a year, but that was a couple years ago now. Just do that, and name your garage something like "Fordman's Ford Trucks only Garage" And then you being a personal mechanics shop, wouldn't be limited on how many vehicles you held, since you own a business now! I'd like to see the city try and snuff that one. Always a loophole somewhere!

^^^^^ That'll backfire. You get a state license, the town for sure will make you get THEIR license as well, and usu. the local license fee is higher. And it may include an "inspection" or two, etc.
You gotta get yourself and a few like minds elected to the village/town board, and just rush in repeals to all those #*&@%*$ codes/ordinances. You'll probably get a lot of support from the public; they're probably just as fed up with that stuff as you.
Or, like you say, find a place right outside the town limit, and make as big an effing mess as you can, just to rub their nose in it.

Can't be any worse than the guy who sells a thousand chainsaw carvings in his front lawn! Honestly, if seeing it is such a big deal, you might not be able to put up a fence, but nothing against landscaping with a bunch of 15' shrubs.
