All my Vehicles are legal, (now,) parked legally, and insured. I like Big Vans, and I cannot lie. But somebody sure doesn't! I guess I should have seen this coming. I heard a knock upon my door. Seeing as how this is America, You don't have to answer that. Or the phone. Leave a message. Turns out it was City Code Enforcement! I got 4 stickers! One for the Sheriff's truck, that's not even mine! I did just drop my utility trailer on the street the night before, for reverse Murphy's Law reasons. Little did I know... So. I was in violation of a new City Ordinance, targeting "Trailers and Oversize Vehicles." Also, both Dodge B Vans, tagged for, "Abandoned, Nuisance, or Junk vehicles." Cabin Cruiser lacked a Reg sticker, (water pump, Mopar, Ugh.) Dogvan was on jackstands in the front. (O2 sensor.) They didn't tag the Chevy Ext, which was parked in the street. Now, granted, Sheriff Issac's F150, is parked the wrong way, has 2 flat front tires, and looks like shit. But He wears a bullet proof vest to work. He can park his garbage in front of my house. Anytime. Forever. I do not care. But the City does. "I've been trying to contact you for about a month now about this situation. We've gotten 4 complaints..." "Oh?" "Well, that F150 isn't mine, It's Sheriff Issac's!" "Oh... Well. You're going to get the Certified letter, and,,, We're going to have to do something about all those Vans..." Hot times in the City 3 Big Vans don't look real pretty! Someone thinks my Vans look Shitty Hot times in the City to be continued... | | | Re: Big Vans... | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 557 | Joined: Jun 2010 Posts: 18,286 Likes: 557 | Next time she shows up call me N Ill park Big Red on top of her car ... lol

Finally figured out which neighbor it was and told her if she did it again, I would have my friend bring down his crane and place her car on top of the light pole. She told me I couldn't, I told her I had enough in savings to cover any fines and lawyer fees and to try me. Never heard from the city anymore. That was about 10 years ago.

I've kept up with the inspections on the Fleet of Old Girls for 5 years, the Mopar water pump put a hurt on the schedule, and I'm late. Oh well. Like said, Immediately got in touch with City CE, the County, who registers vehicles in Texas. Put the trailer up in the yard too, the night before. Worked on B250Dogvan yesterday, lowered it down, moved it up a foot. Snicker. Moved the Big Block up across the driveway on my other neighbors side, he doesn't mind either. This makes it way more visible when you pull up to the stop sign, and Boy! Does it look cool! `Easier for my neighbor Janet to pull in and out, She's cool too. I blew up a tire on Campervan. Hmmm? Blasted 3 rolls of trimmer string and policed the area, hosed it all down. Today, I put all the paperwork I needed together went down, got a Temp Reg dated 30 days out from 8/1, Another nice Lady at the County Treasurer's office. Turned in the 2 current registrations at the city. CE Lady, "Looks great, thanks! Leave a copy on my desk." "Yes Ma'am!" Everybody's happy. But 2 days in a row, just before I was leaving, in walks the Head Inspector. THE Man. The Legend. Maybe it's just coincidence, maybe the plot thickens. You be the Judge. Will Bill need to request a hearing? Hmmm. I leave The Legend inside, and drive STRAIGHT HOME. The Legend, almost beats me there, pulling up to the stop sign across the street from my house. Just as I am parking... Stay Tuned

Makes me glad I live in Tacoma, WA in a place without a homeowners association instead of someplace with yard nazis that go around complaining if you have an old car that doesn't move for more than a week.
