"Hahaha @ U!" or something, so they get even more pissed and would eventually just drop the situation and in the end you probably wouldn't have to keep moving it around, only a couple times I bet

Can you just move the vehicle from one side of the driveway to the other periodically? You say it won't move to well on this ice, yet, so far this winter has been pretty generous to us and we haven't been hit hard. So just keep the ice off the driveway and move it around. If it's not in the same place all the time than they can't complain, right? Or they would be in the wrong.. And in the end, they couldn't do anything about it and you save w/o having to pay storage fees.
Yes he should go out side and move it every 96 hours. hahaha :icon_thumright:

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).
