I'm 2 small steps away from becoming a Republican, Stanford considers my 914 "abandoned" Options

WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE AHEAD -- THIS IS A RANT AND THUS SHOULD NOT BE READ BY ANYONE.

don't get me wrong -- in almost all regards i am as liberal as the next stanford phd candidate, but when those leftist fuckers want to tell me that i can't quietly and nondisruptively work on my legally registered, insured car in the parking lot of my residence that i have paid good money to park in, i have to draw the fucking line.

IT'S A HOBBY CAR, GOD DAMNIT, AND UNLESS I AM DISRUPTING SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE, RIGHTS OR LIBERTIES, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO FUCKING WORK ON IT.

I am already NOT allowed to wash my own car. now i can't actively work on it without it being considered abandoned? i was just tooling with it yesterday! how in fuck's sake is it abandonded? it's parked right in fucking front of my goddamn overpriced shitty-ass apartment!!!!

i like california, i like the bay area, i like the school that has supported me and my career, but i can do without the "government knows best" bullshit.

i live in an absurd world. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/bs.gif)

I say you drive to another parking lot on another campus, do your work in front of another dorm area...when you are done, drive back home...

If it becomes a real problem, a u store it rental unit can be had for cheap and it gives you a place to work out of the rain.

But I like the idea of moving your shop around at will and work in other peoples parking lots.
