Have you heard the story in the media about the guy with the patina 65 Ford pickup? The truck runs,drives,Is road worthy but his homeowners association where he lives wants it gone. Its an eyesore....

That particular story, no. Stories like that, yes. They also include stories with and without HOA’s. A similar example is a neighbor of mine complained about my Duster. The “Town” came by and realized what it was that I was doing and informed me of the complaint in which it is easily fixed via a car cover or properly tagged (plates). So to AutoZone I went for a $50 cover for the car while it is being worked on.

The town official was very cool and understood the whole deal. It’s easy to see it is a project car and not a derelict car. He was telling me it is a “Quality of Life” ordinance which makes sense since it was designed to stop regular houses turning into junkyards. I’m good with that.

Anyone dealing with a HOA is in a world I don’t understand much. I only only know that I’ll be damned if someone can tell me what I can and can’t do within reason to my own property. I’m sure local laws will prevent me from the wild things. But the stories I have heard about HOA’s..... no way brother!

Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to become president of my own plot of land where I can mandate a minimum of 3 project cars on the property or you’ll have to have.
