im not one who really cares or is afraid of competition there so its a moot point.


in OTHER news, im gonna see about getting my car in the shop to get it running since i got slammed with NO place to store it while i go off for 5 months. SOMEHOW my parents think it will get ticketed for sitting in their driveway untagged. we dont have an HOA so its considered private property. course i have to take out a damn loan from the bank to pay for it, BUT it might live again before i head out in june.

 

You've got an odd sense of humor to just bring that up out of the blue...

 

o_O sure. it'll be towed from your property since, yknow, people drive on it...nstuff...

 

Hell, if the city of Mount Rainier can tow my former TII out of my driveway for the same reason, you best believe it's possible elsewhere...

We don't have a HOA either, but we do have Code Enforcement...

 

exactly.

 

Cover it. They can't touch it.

 

O_o

then you people have STRANGE laws down there. up here, if you have a car cover and it's on your property they can't touch you.

 

No, that doesn't work.... At least in my former neck of the woods it didn't.... how else do you think I got the notice that my car was to be towed?

Code Enforcement Chief's quote: "If the car is not tagged and properly registered in the city of Mount Rainier, we do have the authority to remove your car from your property.... It's to prevent people from having multiple cars sitting around and reducing the unsightlyness of our neighborhoods"

WTF? It's not like i'm in WV and I have 5 cars out back on "repair" status, just one in my driveway in proper condition... They act as if I threw the motor on bricks in the front lawn or something....

I even checked with the police, and they said it's legal.... In a "being a *****" sort of way...

 

If anyone came onto my property and tried to tow my car, I'd kick em in the forehead!(hoping my pants dont split) Then I'd kick their dog!( dunno if anyone has heard that hilarius indian guy talking about "I kick your dog")

 

its "You kicka my dog"

 

this is a little side parking lot area of my driveway that can hold 3 cars without blocking the garage access. and i told them it was gonna have a cover over it. if a cop comes up and looks underneath then its tresspassing and invasion of privacy (whatever that law is you can have a cop sued for peeking in your windows since its private property)

 

ANYwho...i want the car running again anyway. only got to drive it 2 mnths last year and i want it back and running...be nice to have it for when im in mississippi instead of some cheap corola.

 

anyone got time on Sunday....to come help me with my engine instal?

 

i had my hoa tell me they wanted me to move the rx7 and i told them to go **** themselves. we have assigned parking and i told them until they gave me another parking space it wasnt moving from the backyard. they havent said anything to me since then either. and ive got **** out the *** in my yard. moped, 3 wheeler, car, motorcycles. haha needless to say my hoa hates me.

 

Homeowners associations are annoying...but that's part of living where you do. when you buy the house, you knowingly enter into a contract with them...and they have the right to fine you. krautrocket got fined for doing his suspension at his parents' house, and i've been fined for doing an oil change at mine.

it's all a part of living where you do...i'm sure your HOA will be happy to see you leave

 

thats why im glad i dont have an HOA

*paints my house NEON PINK with yellow shutters and a greenroof, then fills up my entire front lawn with garden gnomes and flamingos*

 

Uh... that will be scarey.. if you do it.. take a pic.. at night
for holloween pics..

 

Well I've been lucky so far. Damn near full garage and tools and normally work with the doors up. The FD is becoming very time consuming. I may be askin for some help soon if I can get all the housings cleaned by sunday.

 

*shrugs* i just don't do my work at home anymore...i take it to my friend's place, and we work in the lot in front of his apartment.

 

my HOA is called my mom she always yells at me to get my non-running car out of her driveway *sigh* hopefully this weekend.....

 

Woot. I'm going to ireland for my honeymoon for a week. Anyone been before?

 

nope...wanna....heard its great to see

go on a tour of the guinness brewery

 

yup... DO NOT kiss the blarney stone... that is all ...

 

yer NOT supposed to use tongue

 

no, but i'm jealous...i want to go before i die
