another MV threatened by code enforcement - Steel Soldiers::Military Vehicles Supersite

I am recounting what happened to a Friend he lives near the gulf coast before Katrina few if any neighbors liked having a "old ugly big junk MV" in their hood but when water got high and he drove house to house picking folks off the roof in the middle of the storm and after when they were stuck on a high spot he would drive out and get food and water for them. They thought he was great but a few years go by and one of the same one that were saved from a bad swim called the code office to complain. luckily the officer has used good judgment and not been a big pain. I helped some by pointing out that the code that Mister ungrateful was citing also applied to his h1 hummer, it states no vehicles with tires over 35" tall can be kept in the hood! That has shut his mouth for now

People realy need to relize that they might be in vilolation of the codes too.

There are some people out there that only want things when THEY need them. He doesnt want to look at a deuce but when the crap hits the fan (again) he will be the first one begging for a ride.

I am a LEO and these are the same people who dont want to see police around, but are the first ones to complain about not seeing a cop around when something bad happens.

Mr. ungrateful has an H1 Hummer and he's complaining about a deuce?

My guess is he's jealous that his ride isn't the biggest and baddest in the neighborhood. Instead of getting a 5-ton, he's trying to use the government to downsize the competition.

no his is a civi and pretty , the code was written to keep out the big mud trucks that are common down here the deuce would probably be ok if it had chrome rims street tires and shiny paint and a muffler

I think that the codes to limit what you can have are retarded. As long as it is safe and leagl. Keep us posted on what happens.

very true. we had a woman locally that hated for some reason seeing produce vendors on the side of the road selling fresh fruit and corn and such. she took it apon herself to singlehandedly have a law passed that banned produce vending on county maintained roads. not a terribly big deal in the end as they just moved a bit to state maintained roads and continued vending. icing on the cake was that this law also covers Yard sales and garage sales, flea markets, and any such activity. ( i love this part) turns out that she was an avid yard sale junkie. she lived her life to go to garage sales. so in the end at least on paper she completely shot herself in the foot. now this law has done nothing to curb the highly illicit and dangerous yard sale activities in the county but technically...

people can't just mind thier own business. be cool to your neighbor, one day he might be the only thing moving other than Noah...

People are hypocritical busy bodies, especially my neighbors.
