Reply #18 – May 06, 2009, 10:22:48 AM I always somewhat liked Monte SS's but the prob I have seen is they always have douchebags driving them (Prob just around me) he'd have good luck with a small block V8 and the same goes for you but I am not a huge fan of the small block I guess. I've seen some amazing things done with small blocks. Quote Selected

MasscougarXr7's H.O. Conv./ engine bay "spruce --NEED iDLE HELP!!!!! Reply #20 – May 07, 2009, 02:30:48 PM Go down to the police station and explain your dilemma. They may understand and ask the officer to back off. The most important thing is that they leave your car, because it really is your life blood here. My guess is one of your neighbors called the cops and complained about the amount of vehicles. Your best bet is to find out who it is and really try to please them. This will all work out dude. I realize you lost your job, I lost mine in December (Day after christmas even) and have been unable to find a job since. Times are hard but it WILL get easier. You need to do whatever you can to keep your vehicle on YOUR property by whatever means necessary. Quote Selected

MasscougarXr7's H.O. Conv./ engine bay "spruce --NEED iDLE HELP!!!!! Reply #22 – May 07, 2009, 03:42:04 PM He most likely cant do that. Realize your neighbors are calling you in. Do the following:1. Clean up your front yard.2. Install A gate.3. Make the cars look like they are assembled.4. Put for-sale signs in them with a fake number.5. Clean up the back yard and junk the Saw-Cycle.The neighbors will probably back off if they see you clean up some. Save up for an 8ft picket Fence. Also, while your at the station, (politely) ask what law you are violating that he can "tow vehicles out of your backyard." Most likely the officer lives in the neighborhood or knows the person who keeps calling them in.I Say "most likely can't do that" because it depends on the city ordinances and if they have to they will find a way to do it. Eg, "your car drips oil, so heres a ticket for illegal dumping of oil." Some cities and even more subdivisions have weasel clauses that can let them ticket for just about anything they determine to be untidy. Quote Selected

If I didn't have a job and someone was going to tow my car, I'd sleep in it with a shot gun. Out here if its not visable from the road there is nothing they can do. Sounds like its time to pull your exhaust of any gas powered anything and rev for a couple of hours. My neighbors used to hate me. Quote Selected

Reply #26 – May 08, 2009, 01:29:11 AM I remember one time we were spray painting the stripe on our rv, the olds was in the front yard for 30 minutes before a donut muncher gave the warning.But we had a 7ft fence and a winnebago keeping him from seeing the 78 chevy van, my tbird, and my buddies porsche just chillin in the back lolBut like danzajax said, get a big gate and fence. then make it clear they cant come past the sidewalk without a warrant. Which I would be surprised if they went that far to bust you for working on a car from your porch.Things wont get much worse, just go with the flow. good luck Quote Selected

MasscougarXr7's H.O. Conv./ engine bay "spruce --NEED iDLE HELP!!!!! Reply #28 – May 08, 2009, 10:45:12 AM Maybe a member of tho forum could help out here? I'd really hate to see his car taken away. Your girlfriend's bro's car needs to leave. He needs to keep that on his property, because that is not helping the situation. Think what is most important here is that your neighbor is the one who is calling you in. He is more than likely upset at you for a few things and has "Had it" with it. Yes, he is being difficult but going over and being a friendly guy and asking if he has any sort of problem with you working on your car in YOUR backyard is hurting him in any way. Try to come to an understanding that you are just a young guy who just lost his job. If he is a nice guy he will understand, if not he will more than likely blow you off and call the cops again. As I said, you need to go down to the "Cop shop" and talk to the highest up person you can so that you can get an agreement worked out. Believe me, if I was closer I'd let you store your car in my shop with my Cougar but I can't. Sorry dude. Quote Selected
MasscougarXr7's H.O. Conv./ engine bay "spruce --NEED iDLE HELP!!!!! Reply #29 – May 08, 2009, 11:01:25 AM most states have a provision for hobbyists to have an unregistered vehicle on their property. here in NJ most cops and code enforcment people don't know anything about it and they use the town ordinance about unregistered cars to try and summons you. You should try to contact a hot rod club or other car club or Cruise Night organization near you in MA to point you in the right direction. you can't possibly be the only in MA with unregistered car on your property. Maybe try getting one of those car ports from costco or walmart if you can se some cash together. I have mixed feelings about visiting the police station- unless you get to speak to someone who genuinely CARES- it could make it worse. Quote Selected
