Reading about Itsa914 wanting to by the 76 car to add to his parts collection made me wonder who has pictures of 914 stock piles that make other family members question your sanity.
Here is a shot of my driveway... have to admit that the middle 914 is a buddy visiting me to do some work... the rests are/were mine... neighbors watching me sawzall, weld, 914's in the driveway think I am running a Porsche chop shop. I have calmed down... only two cars now with lots of parts stacked away. - Dave Attached thumbnail(s) |

I said fuck the neighbors if they dont like it and they got the city on me. I had 3 924s, 1 914, and a dune buggy in my driveway. Needless to say I got rid of the 924s and moved some stuff into the backyard and my garage.

You bought another 914? Group: Benefactors Posts: 7,624 Joined: 27-June 03 From: Portage, IN Member No.: 865 Region Association: None |
I will post a pic of my collection tomorrow. I'm lucky,
my neighbors have become our good friends and we all get along. I do get teased about my "hobby" but then I joke with them about the boat that sits in their drive all winter. I also keep a car cover on the parts car that sits outside. If need be I have a friend that bought a farm house and land with two barns on it. As a payback for helping him over the years with his MANY moves and home repairs I get free storage in one of the barns to hold about 8 cars end to end. Not that I ever plan to use it but it is nice to know I can. - Garold PS. I didn't get the 76, it went for $960 Yikes! |

the majority of the tracks I work on....like the M113a2 and 3s (armored personnel carriers) use fram filters.....might explain why most motors have less than a thousand miles between each rebuild... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)

Always use a Mahle or Bosch oil filter. The Frams like to leave the engine every so often.

All my neibours like me except the retarded guy who lives across the back lane. Need to fire the Impalla up again (open headers) to bug him. The only neibour who can see into my yard thinks I'm gold since I saved her husbands life last year, so I'm pretty safe.
The 3 lumps in the foreground are P cars. What you can't see is the two 6' X 8' sheds full of parts (soon to be moved to the farm). Attached image(s) |

It is great to indulge in car collecting and parts.I've loved working on cars most all my life.It keeps me same.
The sad part around here is that this county I live in has passed what they call a nuisance ordinance.Countywide. Or as most here call it a junk car law.In a nut shell,any 2 or 3 neighbors can get together to complain about the condition of anyones property. A code enforcement guy'll come out and inspect your property for whatever they deem unacceptable.If it can be seen,it can be seized,at home owners expense.All cars w/o tags& insur.are considered abandoned.Needless to say,privacy fences are being put up all over this county,my yard included.No shit wiper beurocrat is gonna tell me my 914 project w/about 12,000 in receipts so far is an abandoned car and needs to be removed,to spruce up the neighborhood. I did a check on the internet lately,and these laws are being passed all over the country. Used to be a time when we lived in a free country, not anymore.First the law took away a parents right to raise their own children the way they seen fit.Now,a person is told what they can and cannot have on the property one lives on,and makes the payment on.It just seems to get worse and worse as each year passes. Sorry about the rant.But it just pisses me off about the way things are heading. Ron |

I remember reading a story last year I think about a lady in Michigan who decided she wanted to move to the country, so she bought a house way out near some old farms. Well, everything was fine until it was time to start fertilizing the fields. Then she had the gumption to complain and if I remember correctly, she tried to sue to get the farmers around her to stop using their tractors that were making too much noise and to stop using fertilizer cause it smelled like p00p.
Thank the heavens her case found its way to one of our few remaining judges that has even a lick of common sense and he laughed at her and I think he threatened to make her pay all court costs if she persisted. Sadly, I don't doubt in the least that there are some areas where the farmer would lose a case like this. There are WAY too many stupid people abusing our legal system today. We've grown too fast. We don't have enough intelligent people to man the important decision-making posts, so we're stuck with id10ts making rediculous legal decisions. [\rant] In case you guys aren't familiar with Indiana's new plates, they're flat. No more raised letters, so they look kinda fake to begin with. I know a guy that had a neighbor across the street complain about a few cars on his side lot (2 acres) that didn't have plates. He scanned in a plate on his computer, made a few changes to make each plate different, put some cardboard on the backs of them and stuck them on the cars. Since the cars aren't actually driven, I don't think he's breaking any laws, but at least it keeps his neighbor off his back. |

City ordinance - If it isn't registered OR otherwise operable, it must be in an enclosed structure. You can't even keep it in the back yard, even if out of site. Affectionately known as "The Code Betty", she harasses myself and one other neighbor bi-weekly. I brought back Brant's 914 and left it on the trailer in front of my house for a couple of days. I got a "Courtesy Notice" indicating that trailers and RV's are not allowed on the street for more than 24 hours. It never ends... |
