Homeowners Association (update)

FWIW I'm not in an association at all but I have gotten 3 letters from the city, apparently they have inspectors that drive around.
1. Your grass is over the allowed maximum height of 8 inches, pleas cut it or it will be cut for you and billed to you.
2. Waste Management does not pick up carpet or home remodeling debris, please remove items from street or they will be removed and billed to you.
3. Your house (garage door ) is in disrepair, you have 30 days to fix it. From when asshat Mike Key drove through it.
Eh... it's good and bad.

Hmmm... whenever I'm working on my car my neighbors wander over and ask me about it. One's a fighter pilot so he loves speed. They usually ask me whats wrong with the car b/c it's newer and why am I always working on it. I explain that nothings wrong I'm just checking fluids, swapping brakes, and tires for track use.
We had a big cookout this past summer and it was pretty much an open invite. I pulled the girll around front, opened the garage doors and turned up the music... was a great time and a few nieghbors came over. Maybe I live in a cooler place
Seriously though... I don't speed in my neighborhood, don't make lots of car noise that often, it's worked for me. I did have an old guy yell at me to slow down when I was going 25 mph, but in 1st gear.

LOL yeah I bet 25mph sounds fast in your car. You probably do live in a cooler place. I don't speed in my neighborhood lots of kids running around. Some people are just annoying. 3 people in the neighborhood always complain about something dumb, from the chick that is having her 11th kid to the old guy who video tapes cars going by his house to show police who is speeding.

Damn nazi called the county on me yet again the day he listed his house for sale. This time because I haven't moved my car in awhile because I've been driving the other car and my truck instead.
ANYONE and EVERYONE... Please stop by with your extra vehicles and park them outside my house.
Bring a pink flamingo (or ten) and put them in the front yard if you can find them.
Oh, when there is an open house -- there will be a party.
