The perfect resting place for an old boneyard escapee! This local gal decided she wanted her old Model A planted at home in her garden and her neighbour complained and lost. http://www.cbc.ca/canada/manitoba/story/2009/06/11/mb-ford-planter-winnipeg.html
My dad drove one just like it to work for many years. He would come home for lunch and I would hide in the back on the floor when he went back to work. I'd pop up a few blocks from home and he would have to take me back home again. He learned to look in the back of that old Model A before returning to work.
Its nuts what people go nuts about. In my town, FAR northwest subs of Chicago. You can get a ticket for parking to many cars on your drive way (other than parties) or even having a "project car" parked next to the garage. I'm glad that lady one. It's her right to leave her car as a planter....besides, it looks fine how she did it.
I built a house in a gated community in Naples, FL. Could not park your own car in your own driveway...had to be in the garage at all times. Had a neighbor that had 3 Harleys that he and his wife and son drove on weekends...they got kicked out because no mc's allowed. I sold my house and got the hell outta there.
Good for her. Busy body niebours like hers would be land fill around here......or should I say fertilizer for the planter
Whats sad, there are people "OK" with the idea of being told what to do and not do with a homeowners association. The area I was in before with my mom was really screwy. I had a triple black 1979 Lincoln Town Car, then I bought a triple "Dove Gray" '79 Town Car as a parts car. I didn't have the heart to kill it. So I drive it on and off through the winter. It was parked for a week in the same spot, came out one morning, the rear tires where slashed. Come to find out, this was becoming common living in the area. It was always suspected it was one guy living on our block but no one ever could link him.The "guy" was the president of the association, he bought his votes to get in.
People have a choice on whether they want to live in a HOA governed community or not. You or your attorney has to read all the bylaws before buying a place within a HOA. I really don't have much sympathy for people who choose to live in a HOA community and then complain when the HOA enforces the rules. The HOA has to enforce all the rules to the letter otherwise it leaves legal loopholes for someone with a future violation. I do not and will not live where thre is an HOA however many people like to know that there neighbor is going to be pulling engines and parking oil drippers in their driveway like I do. A neighbor of a buddy of mine put a toilet in front of his house with flowers in it. When he called the city they said they couldn't do anything about it because he was using it as a planter.
