Immediately thought of NJFBOA when i saw this
 

So i get a letter from the borough about my car being in my driveway with no plates. Lol read and thought of you guys. My cars a firebird anyway lol. Sorry for the crappy quality but you can see it and get the idea. I snapped it real quick with my phone.

nice:lol:

Put a cover on it.

red Camaro eh.

It's registered now.. but not the point of the post..

Wait, that's actually a law? I always thought my dad was kidding when he told me to always keep plates on the car.

Yup I always thought if it was on your property it didn't matter but i guess i was wrong. Got an ahole neighbor obviously. the thing sat in the street with no plates for a few days and i got a notice about that and then one for it being in the driveway..

differant towns have differant boro ordanances about this having unregistered cars your property

your lucky they didnt tow your car in the middle of the night like that. i seen it

Somebody comes on my property looking to take my car in the middle of the night, they better have more'n a wrecker! :nod:

right

he said IT SAT IN THE STREET WITH NO PLATES LIKE THAT...thats public property

Well, yeah, if you leave it on the street, I wouldn't be surprised if it got towed. But, as soon as it gets more'n a couple feet from the sidewalk, I consider that my property.

Wrong. Care to read the first sentence in the original post? The car in street has nothing to do with the letter.

Yea they better have more than a wrecker because thats when shot guns come out.
FOOK THAT MESS they cant simply tow your **** in the middle of the night with out warning you when its on your property.
& If their so grimey that they do it with no notice because its IN THE STREET in front of the $400,000 home you pay for I would raise hell at every single town meeting.

It took 6 months before I got a notice for my car being in the driveway...it wasnt until I let the registration lapse...I renewed it the day I got the violation but still had to move it.

I did have it in the street for a little and got a sticker warning me about that but that has nothing to do with the letter i got. I live on a quiet street. I know that shouldn't matter but i got it out of the street. But having it in my driveway without plates shouldnt matter. It's my driveway.. but whatever. Dickhead neighbors ftl.

P.s. Firebirds on the road as of yesterday Jeremy. Cruise anytime soon?

Something along these lines has happened to me when I had my 86 TA in my driveway without plates, although it happened in a "nicer" way. I didn't receive a letter. Long story short, a cop that I knew was at my house for different reason and noticed my TA didnt have plates. I was working on it at that time. He told me to put a tarp over the car, or just the front end (since it was backed in my driveway) so someone can't complain about me not having a car without plates on my property...

Basically, some towns have ordinances to keep unregistered cars off property. It falls into the same category as, for instance, an ordinance in my town states that you have to have your grass trimmed below 12 inches or else the town will send in a private landscaper to cut it, then slap you up with a fine. Both ordinances is just merely to keep your property looking presentable and not looking like a junkyard.

The only way you can get away with having an non plated car on your property is if its for sale or garaged. Just put a tarp over it if you dont have plates.

you could anoy your neghbors like my old one did. someone called the cops on them for something dumb so he cut his lawn at 4am. but its not right for the ones who didnt do it.

Yeah same thing Tim suggested. but it's registered now so it wont be a problem. I can understand them wanting the houses to look presentable, but one car in the driveway shouldn't be something you should get fined for imo. I can see if you had a yard full of junkers, but that wasn't the case.

Edit - Lol no mowing the lawn at 4am. Just spinning the tires in the street :mrgreen:

some people just have the azzhole gene,the funniest part is the Camaro lol

Why not just put a for sale sign with a ridiculous price that nobody will pay? That way you can keep it in the driveway and no one can say anything. lol

my story is. my car sat for 2yrs with a cover in my yard. my show car at that. then one non windy day. (a fri) my cover was gone. no where to be found. tues. i get a letter from the city remove junk car. junk car??? i had tags on it too. so long story short. i have it removed to my garage. i get a ticket in the mail two weeks later for failure to remove car. f'in housing inspector. i called him and blew his ears apart. went to court. my friend is the tow truck driver. gave me a receipt. i beat the ticket.

Some people have to be dicks i don't get it. Same as your situation.. you think our cars were really bothering them that much? I don't think so..

genius!!!!

Haha that would probably work.
