Wow that is a bit excessive. Come out and verify that it actually RUNS? What a waste of tax payers money. My thing about it is if it has plates then leave it alone. There's a guy around the corner from me who has a'80s k5 that's been parked at the foot of his driveway, over a sidewalk too, and he hasn't been hassled. Has a plate but it's 5-6 years past expectation. I drive by it every day and not once have I seen it more or heard it start,has dual exhaust figure it's loud.
Come to think about it, I just realized it's gone. As I am typing this I pictured it and seen yesterday it was missing. Funny how your mind gets so used to something and can block it out until it changes.
Yeah, the city inspector is a *****. Then I got a letter from another guy about my K10 in the driveway with the bed off of it. So OK, I knew I was pushing my luck on that one. I called him up, real nice guy, told him I needed just til Tuesday and he could come back out. He said, yeah that's fine, thanks for calling. So the new guy shows up at my front door Monday morning with the ***** just as I was leaving with my first tow of the day. The ***** said, the truck was supposed to be moved Friday. I looked at the new guy right in the eye, and then at the ***** and said, I'll have it moved by noon today, I have my tow truck and I'll get it back to my shop at the airpark. He bitched and moaned but left and said he'd be back after noon.
So I called back to the city hall about an hour later with the number the new guy left on his letter and I had called him and told him I wanted til Tuesday and he said OK that would be fine. He answers his phone, told him who I was, and he immediately apologized and I cut him off instantly, and said, it's all good buddy, I know exactly what was up there and I didn't want to throw you under the bus so I didn't say a word about having til tomorrow. He said yeah, I had, again, I cut him off and said, No worries, I know exactly what that was all about. Carl is a ***** and was gonna take you out in the field and show how to get things done BOY !!! Dude busted the hell up laughing his ass off, and saying, Man you nailed it, that's exactly what it was too. Carl knew you had til tomorrow, but yeah, he took me out for some follow ups. So I told him, I'll have moved in about an hour if he wants to drive back by but don't let Carl turn you into an ******* like he is. I haven't had any more problems since and the K10 has been back in the driveway with no motor for about 3 months. I'm sure the day will come again, but I'll just yank it back to the shop til the heats off again and bring it back home AGAIN.
