Day 42/365

This is our neighbor's car.  It's parked on the grass in front of his house, under his pine tree.  It looks like trailer trash.  I'm NOT happy about it.  Here's the history on this @$#%^!! car.  When we moved into this duplex in '06, the guy was driving that car and they have a newer car for his wife.  Then he got another car, and this one was parked on the street in front of their house, and he parked his car on the other side of the street.  His wife parked her car in front of their house.  Then he got another car, and the two (older) newer ones were parked across the street.  Then he got rid of one of the (older) newer cars.  Then he and the new neighbors on his other side were having a parking feud, and it was ugly.  He has MS, and has a handicapped hanger on his rear view mirror.  To keep the neighbor from parking into their space in front of the houses, he had the City come by and put up a handicapped sign, so that pretty much kept the neighbor from parking too far into their space.  But this little car had to be moved, because it doesn't have a handicapped sticker, the wife's newer car does.  They moved this little POS in front of our house, where my son usually parks when he comes over for Sunday dinner.  The reason the neighbor is keeping this POS is because his daughter may be getting her license any day now (4 years later....), and when (if) she does, he's giving the car to her.  So the car sat in front of our house for months.  Then my other son moved in with us for a while, and he was parking down the street.  We asked the neighbor to move the car so that my son could park there.  Happy news, the neighbor did, in fact, move the car, to the other side of the street.  No matter.  It was gone from in front of my house, and my boys had somewhere to park.  While all this was going on, the POS either didn't have a license plate on it, or, when he did put one back on, it was expired.  After months of being parked on the other side of the street, in front of other people's houses, someone finally complained, and the Parking Control guys came around last week and issued my neighbor a ticket.  That's when he moved it up onto the lawn, trailer trash style.  My B/F was talking to him and told him that he thought there's a City bylaw that says you can't park your car on your front lawn for more than about a 48 hour period.  That's good news.  The better news is that, as of this weekend, the car is now removed from the front yard, and I have no idea where it is, nor do I care.  As long as it's gone, I'm happy!  How ridiculous!!!!
