Hi

Are you saying that you are allowing a homeowners association (your neighbors) tell you what vehicle you can drive?

Chuck

 

Listen to this: There's a friend here in my mom & dad's neighborhood who has a restored '69 Camaro and '66 Chevelle (Hey, I don't draw lines in the sand, I like all vintage American iron). Anyhow, he had his Chevelle parked on the grass (he lives on the corner). Some IDIOTIC woman down the street, a neighbor, came by this week and said,

"Could you get your car off the grass? I don't appreciate that!" WHAT THE *@#&!

There's no Homeowner's Assoc. here, thank God. Mister, I would leave the neighborhood and keep the truck. Those Assoc.'s may have been begun with noble intentions, but what you wind up with is people telling you what you can and can't do. UNACCEPTABLE! Also this week in Columbus, a family has "Lost their community swimming and tennis priveledges because their shingles don't match their neighbors. They don't conform to what the previous owners agreed to in 1981".

I'm sorry to go on, but man, you posted that BS you're dealing with right when I get 2 instances of that happening here................I'm done now.

 

Yeah you think its a great idea at first....what harm could they do right? well they have my signature agreeing to there rules.....besides that im only allowed 2 parking places and we are a 3 car family.......with gas prices what they are...it cost me $10.00 a day to drive it to work......so I was forced to buy a more economical vehicle.....I will definetly fight as far as I can ....I will some day finish a "59 maybe just not this one....
Thanks all
Erik
aw0000000000000

 

Erik, I would put it in storage before I sold it.

 

Augh! What happens if you tell the Homeowner's Association to shove it?

 

oh my bleeping god! i wanna puke. i would definitely find a bargaining chip. gota be some leverage you can get against the snooty tuty fruits to let them get back to baggin their secretaries and telling eachother just how high n mighty they are. can you lay purple astro turf? what are the range of colors you can paint your house? there has to be something they cant tell you to do they wish they could but cant. this is a outrage! guys we gotta pull IDEAS together n help a ford brother out! gotta be something you can bring against them, its your small piece of fraggin land that you work for n pay for and still dont own and cant even be burried on when you croak. i get so sick of the uneccesary do's and donts, granted rules and no fun are a fact of life, but who are they! i am pray'n for you man. this generally isnt the place to get fired over the government taking away our rods, but i hear all to often the city is going to come on so n so's property n tow their property away, because of this n that. or perfectly good cars that cant be titled b/c they are too old, or wrenchin in your own yard, ....i could probaly go on

 

not to mention old ones in decent shape are a gettin rare,all about supply n demand, just look at the appreciation of the price of a 57 chev in the last 10 or even 5 years. get em while you can n hold onto em, because before long you wont even be able to get regular for them. probaly about the only thing worth investing in anymore.

 

I have a similar Home owner rules in my neighborhood, and my truck sits backed in the drive way...all most all the front sheet metal is off and along side of house. The guy that heads up the assoc. lives across the street from me and asked what I was doing to the truck and I explained to him what I was going to do, his reply was not in the driveway your not are you? and I replied to him yes as my garage isnt big enough for both cars and to have one of them torn apart. Well he gets on me about the rules and I kindle reply to him about the mounting of his sat dish....its in plain view from the street as well as 8-10 other homes on the street, so if you want to complain about my truck and have a meeting on it, just remember about how many people are going to lose their sat dishes over your not liking the truck in my driveway, and if the city gets involved I can move my truck in a matter of minutes while you cant move your dish quickly, who will recieve the citation?? and involve the rest of the neighbors?? well now he is one of my better neighbors and has an older car in the driveway as well getting ready for restoration

Glack
""damn neighborhood rules,,,who follows them??""

 

thats what i m talkin about! whats good for the goose is good for the gander.

 

Wow.. Gas Prices jump up and you get a verbal from the " Politically Correct Coalition", and you cave in?? You should watch OCC choppers and tell the same thing Paul sr. tells everybody.. " how'd you like a dozen burried in your A$$ !!!

I would not sell.. get it running, put a sign on it 4 sale and have all your friends come over and test drive it after you took the mufflers off. Right in front of the Correct coalition houses about 3 times a week, letting them know you are activally persuing a sale. Hey you can set the standard for trashy in your neighborhood. But that's me. I usually push back at this stuff Unless my Mom tells me to behave, Because your mom usually knows best.

this is your life, Have some fun..

My 56cents worth..
