P.I.T.A. neighbors

I have my 62 parked at my grandpas house. In his driveway. too many cars at my parents house for it.

He parked it on the sidewalk and he got A LOT of trouble from his neighbors because it's a bit beat up. But it runs great so far. Even the police came by.

So he moved it into his driveway and they give him dirty looks and what not as if he's a damn criminal for having an old truck in his possession.

So, now he feels weird about having the truck worked on now, he feels his neighbors from hell will further complain if I go over their and wrench on it or sand it down a bit. But the truck is in his driveway now.

Would any of you gearheads out their care what your neighbors thought if your truck was beat up?

Would you let them stop you from working on your old trucks and fixing them up?



I hear a good many people who have similar issues, I know I did when I lived on a standard 1/4 acre lot in miami, most of us that have lived in communities with bye laws and small tightly packed lot line boundry's , that are all to common in middle class neighborhoods, are forced to deal with a high percentage of
MRS KRAVITS type neighbors

you'll have a difficult time in many areas, with noisy jerks that will not appreciate anyone who works on their car in the drive way or who parks more than two cars in plain sight.
(especially any car thats more than 10 years old)
so it pays to do the research before you buy a home!
thats one reason I saved and planed and did the research , that was required too move and retire on a 5 acre rural community with a home owners association that does not limit what you do on your own property to any great extent.
it helps to do the research and check building codes.
I'M rather sure many of the web site members have faced or currently deal with people that make working on your car anyplace in plain sight a P.I.T.A. at times!

yeah red neck humor... can,t help it , its the local environmental influence:thumbsup::D
 
The neighbor across the street,
the 1 trying to sell the Vette is moving. Wants a bigger house with a garage etc.
Im waiting to see who my new neighbors will be.
Personally I dont care what ya do on your property & expect the same.
 
Ya know, I have a neighbor that thinks my curb is hers to use and leave her curb and driveway empty. Well, I take it as a violation, she’s legal cuz the curb is public ! Well, I have 3 vehicles, a car, a motorcycle and my toy(76 Nova), so I just waited till she moved her precious pretty white Mercedes! Then I pulled my Harley out to the curb! In my mind I was thinking “ Take that you stuck up HEFER!, haha!”
Just be patient and out smart them I say!
 
I have a few I work with that I would rather dig a 6 foot hole and wait for the opportune time and fill the hole with dirt and some human flesh as fertilizer! It’s just a shame that there are some folks that are so unsatisfied with their own life that they have to make everyone else’s a pain!

Until the Harley gets run over or knocked down. Motorcycle no match for a car or a VINDICTIVE woman.
 
Yeah, but I don’t think she would do that. She was across the street last week talking to another neighbor and he explained to her that I was tired of my visitors having to park down the street when they visit. He said to her, “ I think it’s just RUDE of you to park in his spot and leave your curb and driveway empty! I think he has every right, Bob’s a good guy you should talk to him sometime and you’ll find out! “
 
Did it work out for ya Bob ?
Ill be getting new neighbors across the street at the end of this month.The house sold in less than a week with 15 people attending the open house so I dont know what to expect.It was cheaper for the previous owner to move across the lake to a bigger house with 2 garages than to add on.
