    Well I took 2 weeks off through xmas and now only have 5 cars, my have a buyer for one of them. stripped the 3 that had no motor or trans. stored all the parts that I figured I would need. Chuck came by and pulled a few he needed. they are now crushed....the last of the mavericks all have wheels on them and look complete from the road, so I should be safe for a while

    Well I am trading some work on my place with the guy that did my vinyl siding. He is wanting it for his 15yo daughter. They came by to look at it tonight, I had just finished preasure washing it and we were able to finally get it cranked and running. I gave her the address to the forums, out of my hardship with codes I have at least created a young follower.

    Sorry you had to lose a car, but I'll bet that girl will love it to death! I love to see young folks that are interested in something besides a " rice burner "! :thumbs2:

    That's the crux of it to me. That's what bothers me more than just having my HOA called on me because I parked an old car behind my house for a few days. Have the spine to knock on a door and talk to your neighbor. Why does no one do this anymore?

    Yea... I went and knocked on my neighbors door once to let him know his Wi-Fi was unprotected. He ran his psychiatry practice out of his home. The first time he yelled at me extensively, mostly about how he paid some guy hundreds of dollars to set-up and secure it. I went back with my laptop to show him his exposed client files, deed to his house, tax information for multiple years, scans of his Social Security card and drivers license. I got a visit from the police for my troubles.

    That is why we don't bother talking to our neighbors anymore. I even offered to secure his network for free.

    That's why I love the country life with the property that has no restrictions. Thank God for that. Any more they find ways to make more money from people that live in city limits.
