neighbors hate me

Ha! That is a funny story. The sad thing is that the EPA and people bitching in your neighborhood can and will shut you down. Plus to most people, their only hobby is keeping their property and neighborhood lookin presentable. That is their "hot rod" so their view of a way of life is completely different from a person that likes to have sweet old mopars and big a$$ engines for lawn ornaments. It would have been funny if that guy paved his land and put up a 1 foot containment wall and sump. The hogs were a nice touch though.

It is such a bit%c dealing with close proximity when your hobbies require a little American freedoms. I had been living in the city for 15+ years and it just cramped my style so much. I worked towards getting out in the hills.


Be careful pissing them off. I know a guy that had to get rid of all of his old cars. His new neighbor complained for just a couple of months to the guy. Eventually EPA got evolved. In order to keep his cars, he would have had to pave the woods where the cars were, put drip pans under the engines, transmissions, and differentials of all the cars. He would have also had to put emergency spill station on his property as well. He could not afford any of that, so the dozen cars he had went. A several weeks later, he built a pig pin right on the property line about 25-30 yards from the neighbors house. To this day he still has the pigs. I bet the neighbor wishes he had never complained.
