Lori Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 1996 Chevy Corsica (96,000 miles) and still purrs - sometimes like an M1 - but parts are readily available 611154[/snapback] You fit in a Corsica? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meazza Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 Yeah, to replace your cool car at a loss. My 95 Cougar does fine, and no one is going to steal it. 611305[/snapback] you could have jack bauer, chuck norris and rambo guarding your car, if they want it they'll get it. even the gps technology or boomerang is a joke for most car thieves. anywho my 2001 Caravan has been untouched as well even though it is in the top 10 of stolen vehicles in my area.

UConn James Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 So, when a "neighbor" starts doing auto repairs in his yard - you're cool with that ? There was a immigrant (no habla) who moved in next to my sister - and who then opened an auto shop in his garage (his house) - this a nice, residential neighborhood on a cul-de-sac. After months of going through the enorcement motions, the operation was finally shut down by the fire marshall for 6 (six) tanks of explosive gases (acetelyne) in the garage - less than 30 feet from by sister's house. There have to be rules unless you are surrounded by acreage 611161[/snapback] Big difference in letting people do what they want on their residential property and someone using said in a commercial or other capacity. That's what zoning is there for, and it's fairly straightforward. Fire and safety hazards need to be rectified for any structure; not saying those should be thrown to the wind. It's the "You can't park your car in your driveway!" "You have to move your evergreens over there!" and "You can't cohabitate in sin with your girlfriend!" types that draw ire. Those damn Founding Fathers and their "Pursuit of Happiness" garbage in the DoI! Guess they should have added a parenthetical "unless a group of your neighbors forbids such pursuits."
