Damn Uptight Neighbors...
-
So I store my Mustang under a cover/tarp over winter, this will be the 2nd year doing it. My mom just called to tell me someone complained to the police saying it's an "eyesore" or something and that I have to move it...The thing is, the damn tires are so shitty it seriously won't GO anywhere in the winter now that there is ice on the roads. Fucking people get uptight about the stupidest shit sometimes, it's covered there for 4 months out of the year. Someone needs to get laid or something if a fucking blue covered car is a reportable problem in their eyes. If it was there all the time I could see, but honestly...

thats bs . i would wait until the sherrif came a knockin
-
If we get some decent snowfall that is sticky enough i'm going to make a huge snow sculpture of a penis in the golf course parking lot. Someone wants a fucking eyesore i'll give them an eyesore.
They probably wouldn't do anything about it other than continually cite me til I moved it. I should be like "alright...I can't afford to store it somewhere that costs money so give me the funds to store the damn thing and i'll do it"
-
^^I'll probably hold out on the bonneville til it breathes its last breath. I don't want to spend more money than I have to on a car thats only purpose in life is to get me through the winter. Maybe this will be a blessing in disguise (if i can get the car to my coworkers house without wrecking it) It's in a pretty decent sized garage/barn so I would probably have room to work on it during those long boring days in February.
I'm going to hook up the new amp I just bought though first before I move it and make sure to go back through Westmoor on the way out blaring the damn system at 9pm just to piss whoever off.
-
How much would he want for the buick?
-
Depends on how long it takes to deal with the Mustang. I have class til 5 and then want to install that amp and slowly get the car over to the guys house.
-
I guess we're not bringing it today so I might be able to help
-
put a white tarp over it and tell your neighbors it blends in with the snow

I thought about the white tarp idea...here is the law on it
5-2-11: PROHIBITION ON PARKING IN FRONT AND SIDE YARDS:
No person shall park in a front or side yard in a residential zoning district except on a paved surface and in accordance with the zoning regulations of the city of Moorhead contained in title 10 of this code. (Ord. 2000-3, 4-3-2000)
So we'd have to lay a cement slab down and make sure it was within zoning regulations, which are pretty strict for our neighborhood (we can't put up a storage shed).

I would watch your neighbors yard and if they park with a tire on the grass i would complain to the cops about it.......

The thing is i'm fairly certain it's none of my directly close neighbors, the first 2 into the development (we're 3rd in, 2nd house built there) are totally cool with it and don't care, the 4th would talk to us before he'd call us in I think, and the 5th doesn't care about much of anything besides beer I don't think. So it'd have to be someone living further back in Westmoor.
