Boy that sucks. I don't really know what you can do, except bother them more by doing things within the law, but to the maximum extent of the law. Build a fence around your house, making sure to abide by all the property codes for fences, but paint it a puke green/brown/blazing orange alternating color combination. Paint your house an awful color combination, too. And of course leave your christmas decorations up all year.

However tempting, it would prove futile. Our property line (On the side facing the rest of the neighborhood, anyway)is covered by a 10 foot, very dense tree line. Probably also what's keeping them from getting annoyed by our backyard insanity.

Perhaps I could arrange for a field party to be hosted in the field next to my house? Every fart-piped Honda for 30 miles, generators, underaged drinking, sex, and live music. Of course, a lot of that isn't legal, but it would be funny as anything to watch. Although it would definitely not be cool when the cops showed up -there's nowhere to run in a riceburner, because there's only one paved way out.

I am confused, why and how did he get a $10,000 ticket? Who cited him, under what ordinance?

Someone reported him to county police, cop showed up, knocked on the door, and gave them a citation for $10k. I believe the ordinance pertained to the hours at which a 'large truck' could operate in a 'residential area'.

The more likely reason is that my idiot neighbor is pissed off that someone dare bring an engine louder than his I-4 into the neighborhood, yet again. And probably a bit of penis-envy for that killer ass boat.

Since when is a parked vehicle in operation?

Exactly. I would contest that ticket immediately and take it as far as is humanly possible (although I'm sure they're already doing that.).

Well, they used it's PTO generator to run some home appliances during a 5 day blackout. I suppose that's considered in operation? But in typical dumbarse fashion, the whiner has a louder generator than that truck could ever aspire to be.

And of course the ticket is being contested - not to do so would be more of a crime against humanity than it would be if I threw a molotov cocktail down their chimney.

looks like someone made you change your title from the "offensive" retarded to the less offensive anally retentive.

I feel ya. My neighborhood they have a community ordinance that says that the grass in the front and back yard lawns can't be higher than 2 1/2 inches. This means I have to spend 30+ minutes every 5 days to cut both yards (they come around and check every wensday) and make sure the palms from the palm trees are cleared off my yards. Such bull sh*t! I really hate it, but im not about to move because of it. Ive made numerous complaints to the community mayor but with no luck. I feel your pain!

didnt you sign an aggrement with the HOA before you closed on your house? It should have stated exactly what is to be expected for outside appearence.

This is exactly one reason i will never ever live in a covent controlled community.

black powder target shooting is always fun and noisy.
start a death metal band,
rc gaspowered planes/helicopters are also a good way to get loud and annoying, plus you could buzz their house.

Someone complained about my father bringing his boat home for a quick 1-2hour wash down and back to storage (he got a letter informing him keeping a boat overnight is illegal in the community)....that same person was found to have two kids that have those scooters with the engines on them and blasting down the roads at 1-3am. They ended up having to move out from complaining about everyone and the neighborhood turning on them and their kids.

When I lived there I dealt with this kind of crap everyday practically from people stuggling to buy into the neighborhood, while my parents owned the biggest house and had all the toys and the nicest yard.

Two shoving matches resulted from the guard house knowing me and having the gate up before I had to push a button or anything (I'd come in the guest/resident side)...idiots in the resident only side would follow me to my parents house and say I went through the gate at 60mph or bashed it with my car, etc.
