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..

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.

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

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
