7. That's basically what I think Dr. Big Shot was trying to do.

He rented a house--for a year--knowing the garage and driveway would not accommodate all his vehicles.
So he tries to push the problem on to this little neighborhood of a small, dead end road, by taking up
limited parking space with one of his honking big red neck trucks. And no, he never even registered any
of his vehicles within 30 days in NC like he's supposed to--they've all carried out of state registrations for
the entire year he's been here.

In other words, his problem should be our problem. My husband and I resolved his problem by suggesting he park
one of his trucks on the street on the downhill side of the rental house property line. There are steps in his yard
going down to that street, and parking is not an issue on that street. He's probably been pissed because he has
to walk up/down the steps to his damn truck.

I don't know, but I feel your pain. hamsterjill Jul 2014 #1

I don't know if it's worse. I think some of it has to do with location. femmocrat Jul 2014 #16
