Kim Oviedo and all of her family should run for their county seats to put these little tyrants on notice...

Technically, if the family makes a request of the county under GA Open Records law, they have to reveal their source. Someone should do that for giggles.

GA FReeper ping. I think we have at least a couple Cobb County folks.

I thought the same thing. They call it a 3 car garage for a reason. Because you can park 3 cars in it. They got $120k worth of cars in the driveway, and $700 of junk in the garage. County ought to ticket them for being dumb. :)

If the vehicles are legally registered and driveable and no HOA rules prevail Cobb County should STFU.

My family was rooted in Cobb County for multiple generations. The officials in that county are crooks and liars, frankly. They are only interested in their tax digest, controlling the population and doing as little as possible personally (e.g., contracting out all the work official employees do). They’re nothing but crooks.

Sounds like fun.

The only four-wheeled "toy" I have right now is a '71 Jeepster Commando that is undergoing a very slow-moving "rolling restoration". I'm thinking about converting it in to a CJ6 (they were built on the same frame).

Since you mentioned such wonderful things as Gamma Goats, deuce-and-a-halfs and M37s, I must ask if you have any connections for locating and obtaining military vehicles? Specifically, I'm interested in getting a decent condition, decently priced, M715 truck. I'm not afraid of any kind of mechanical work, but I suck at body work, so I'd like to find one with little to no rust.

I still kick periodically kick myself for "passing" on a very good condition 1967+/- vintage deuce-and-a-half, for $2,000, about 15 years ago. It was about 95% restored (lacking only consistent paint colors on all its body parts) and included a hard top, two soft tops, two canvas troop transport covers for the bed, a spare engine and a large military trailer. It would have been a serious financial stretch at the time, but I still wish I had gone ahead and bought it.

Boy would we be in trouble - there are a minimum of 4 cars parked here at all times- and on Sunday’s for supper when the kids come there are as many ast 10!

But then, we live in the woods on 15 acres 1/2 mile from a paved road - so no one knows.....

Never would I live in a subdivision. Never.

There are large lots in Cobb County - wonder if they go after them?

Rant at HOA’s all you want.

But they have nothing to do with nothing here. This was an idiot COUNTY ordinance.

They got a visit Friday from code enforcement, acting on an anonymous complaint.

There should be no such thing. A person has a right to face his/her accusers.

Where in the heck are all these Gladys Kravitz type a-holes coming from?

Building a loft in our garage as we speak. Great “stuff” storage.

In Gwinnett County its 8 cars in a driveway. The illegals make sure they stop at 8 cars even though its a 3 bedroom house. The resident rule is 2 heartbeats per bedroom. So they can have more cars than legal residents. Go figure.

We lived for 19 years in a community that had (on most streets) no on-street parking permitted from midnight to 5 AM. But if the driveway was full and we had company (lots of it in summer, with a 6 bedroom house less than a mile from the beach) we simply had to call police HQ and inform them of the overflow.

You only think that you own your property. You just pay taxes, insurance, and upkeep, but the government tells you what to do on it, and as an added insult slices 3% off the value each year in what is called a “property tax.” (It’s not a tax. It’s progressive confiscation. The income tax is a tax. The sales tax is a tax.)

It isn’t the HOA, it’s the county.

Only three four at home, two stored.

A camry, Tacoma, willys, cb750k.

K5 and a cj7 elsewhere. Long story.

I notice they have a three car garage, which is likely full of crap.

Kennesaw is the town with the mandatory gun ownership ordinance, IIRC. Maybe the garage is the reloading room.

Similar story here. Hard to deal with some days.
