Lives in neighborhood where said poor people park in the yards. Bitches about poor people...
Me thinks you need to work on self awareness. |

I am not poor sometimes I do, I also don't pour chemicals on my yard to make it perfect.

Because my '60 T-Bird, '13 Mustang, and the wife's '17 Escape take up the whole driveway. So my daily driver gets parked on the street/up to the sidewalk.

I see this and tell myself it has to be because they don't want to play musical cars when one needs to leave.
Easier to leave when you're not blocked in. If not for this reason, then I have no idea. |

I remember the first time I parked on the lawn at my college house. The next door neighbor Vic was an older man (homeowner) and he came over and said what gives. I told him well a winter storm is coming and I learned from my Dad to park on the lawn so the plow trucks can clear the street, but more importantly so your car does not get buried requiring that you dig it out. He said very interesting, I guess your parents get along. I was puzzled by that question and asked what he meant. He said my wife is a ball breaking bitch but it would be to costly to divorce her, so anytime I can spend away from her is good time, even if it means that I have to spend it shoveling my car out. I asked is that why you always read the paper in the car, he gave me a smile and winked.
RIP Vic |

My place is paid for. I can park where ever I fucking please. Currently my truck is hooked to my 20ft equipment trailer and it's parked in my front yard.
Some of you guys need to worry about your god damn self and stop being karens. |

Like people that don’t use their garage. I will never understand that either.

Who are you to assume it's their yard? Maybe they like a grass, dirt, or dead grass parking area.

Quoted: Rich idiots do it too. View Quote I’ve never seen this. On coastal areas where the rich primarily live on the waterfront due to property prices and the poor live off the water. No rich park in their yards like poorer rural sections. I agree with the observation as I see it as well. Not sure why one would not use the driveway to park at an angle in the yard. |
|

Quoted: I can confirm this in the poorer neighborhoods I've worked in, and occasionally occurs in middle class neighborhoods with what I can only assume are trashy people. Right up on the grass. Sometimes next to the driveway, sometimes parallel to the road up on the sidewalk, or just planted in the middle of the yard. View Quote |

I'm in a weird little town where rich folks retire and play golf. There's a sheep farm 2 houses away. My neighbor had a car up on blocks in the front yard...a red Jaguar XJS.

Most of the time, it looks trashy. Probably depends on where one lives and what the circumstances are.

Quoted: My Garage is for my shop. The equipment inside is much more valuable than my car. God forbid people use their garages for something besides storing cars. View Quote Most people store shit in their garage. Like everything there are exceptions. Like you my shop holds stuff worth far more then my car, but my cars stay in the garage attached to the house. Now show me on the doll where mean garage shop touched you. |

I'm not poor! I park my Jeep TJ to the side, with a tiny mud hole under it so it feels comfortable. The big benefit is I don't have to deal with the TJ shitting out oil and diff fluid all over the driveway.

It's funny that people take pride in doing it ("my place, my rules", "my freedom", "it's my land and paid off"), yet get really offended by the question ("mind your own business").
Just answer the man's question. Why in the world are you getting worked up about it? One doesn't have to care about people doing it to ask why they do it. I'm sure some people like to beat the shit out of each other with 6 foot dildos. I don't care that they do that (hey, free country and consenting adults). But I would certainly like to know why they like doing that. Of course, then you'd get the same defensive responses. Can't we all just get along? Geez |

I thought it was because there isn't so far to walk when bringing the case of Cokes to refill the Coke machine they have on the porch next to the couch. If you haven't seen this, then you haven't been to Oklahoma.

Did ya ever noticed nobody ever fucks with the guy with cars parked on the front lawn, up on blocks, or that maybe has an engine block or rear end sitting in the front yard. Don't give 2 shits about property value, and keeps all the blue state soi boi s from moving into the neighborhood.

I do not care for what the indentured servants and non land owners do.

That's where welfare money and enforcing shit like the safeact comes from... But by all means... let the fools pay the crown willingly confusing property value assigned to them by the tax man, for equity. Just shows who's got too big of a mortgage they bit off and can't chew. |

Shuffling cars around is a PITA.
I like my yard so I shuffle when necessary. Pisses me off when folks visit and park in the yard, but I let it slide. We have that clay substrate and if its been raining it leaves clearly defined ruts that last months. |

Geez View Quote I've given up on civil discussion in most gd threads. I see posts from longstanding members i used to respect or who cracked me up.... Many are getting bitter, abrasive, and even hostile. There's a lot of frustration and anger right now, all over. I'm fighting it daily myself. |

It bugs me when people who live in the neighborhood habitually park cars on the street in front of their house instead of in the driveway or garage. My neighbors across the street have never parked in the driveway or garage since I moved in here. There's an older (boxy body style) f350 up the street that's been parked in the same spot on the street so long moss has started growing on the asphalt under it.
Our main vehicle normally gets parked in the garage (unless there's a project or something going in there (our downstairs furniture is currently in there due to a flooring and paint project)or in the driveway. I used to park our pickup in the driveway and my work truck in the road in front of the house but then I started getting irritated with myself for parking on the street all the time so I tried parking it on the grass next to the driveway but it sinks into the ground when it's even a little wet, so I park our pickup on the grass and the work truck in the driveway. |

Quoted: I'm not talking about parking a truck in the front yard for 15 minutes to unload a piece of furniture or even the long term anchoring of non-running vehicles on the lawn. I'm referring to the parking of daily drivers in the front yard, often even when there is ample parking space in the driveway. I've noticed that this phenomenon seems to transcend racial and geographic (although it seems to be highly prevalent in Texas) boundaries but the one thing they have in common is socioeconomic status. On the other hand, I never see people of higher means park in their yards. Even the successful first generation immigrants do not do this. View Quote You misspelled uncouth assholes |

Quoted: Are you aware that there are people in this world that have a severe medical condition which causes them to be that way? My mother for instance is one of those people. She is a truck driver that has bad knees and a bad back from driving the truck but you probably do not care about that case either. Oh well I am not one of those people I am 6'4" 245lbs and I exercise every day. I would love to see you say something like to my mother in front of me. Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think. Oh I am sorry you probably do not have a brain. I on the other hand will be happy to buy you a plane ticket to come here and see if you have the nerve to say that to someone I know. View Quote I sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter. Ever since I was a boy I dreamed of soaring over the oilfields dropping hot sticky loads on disgusting foreigners. People say to me that a person being a helicopter is Impossible and I’m fucking retarded but I don’t care, I’m beautiful. I’m having a plastic surgeon install rotary blades, 30 mm cannons and AMG-114 Hellfire missiles on my body. From now on I want you guys to call me “Apache” and respect my right to kill from above and kill needlessly. If you can’t accept me you’re a heliphobe and need to check your vehicle privilege. Thank you for being so understanding. |

I’ve got 2 trucks, a car, and a tractor in my yard right now.
A water heater box and a Christmas tree in the burn pile. Drive way and car porch is 100% vacant |

I have a two car garage that barely allows my Toyota Tacoma to fit. My truck lives in the garage.
