Hey Mark (Vanpunk)just a question or two.
Is this the same van that was wrecked the winter of '09?
Has it been sitting in the yard ever since or have you been driving it?
The reason I ask is, if it has a current tag and is legally parked, why would code enforcement say anything at all?

Around here vehicles that sit have to have a current tag and be in the "driveway". If it's otherwise then it has to be out of site from the county road. Unless you have a farm, then everything's a farm vehicle (within reason). Mostly it's left up to the responding officer to judge the situation.
