I had a neighbor like that. Bought a brand new SUV and never drove it. It just sat in the driveway for over 5 years. Dirt, debris, tree branches and birds’ nests were on top of it! It took until the old guy died for someone to address the issue.
Sergio must have been watching the doorbell cam with the view of house across the street from me. The vehicles of all types is one thing. The pile of ‘spare’ parts is another.
rusting vehicle yard decorations appear to be mandatory here in the boonies, where folks use their garage, if they have one, for storing junk that they never touch. or for storing junk that’s overflowed from the former house behind the new house (folks are too cheap to tear down the old house when they build a new one so they just use the old one for storing garbage). farmers also seem to be required by law to have at least one broke down minibus parked in their fields…
and then there are the halfwit hillbillies across the street from us who live in a cardboard and blue tarp hovel and use their yard for junk storage…
We live on a small lot – less than 60x 100 – and it is on a 4 lane main road. Decades ago we had a semi-circular driveway put in as we were tired of replacing the driver’s side mirror on my old Chevette.
We worked out a system – the first one home parked at the top of the old straight driveway and the other person pulled into the circular section all the way to the far end – this way either could pull out.
Then we had bed bugs and decided to buy a small RV (Chevy van converted to same). Now the RV sits at the top of the straight driveway, our van sits on the grass in the arc of the circle and the car sits behind the RV. We can pull either car out forward, but if we want to use the RV we have to pull the car onto the circular section and I stand in the road with a walkie talkie and tell husband when he can back it out. RV has not been driven other than to get state inspection and maybe a dozen trips to the next county just to drive it, since the start of the pandemic. Husband keeps planning a small trip but we then decide it not safe to go and cancel the plans.

The neighbors’ garage must be awfully cluttered.

Maybe it’s in retaliation to Baldo’s car that’s been sitting on blocks on the driveway all this time…..

hey, that’s a great costume! My family dresses like that a lot since H.O.A. told us not to park our truck in front of our house anymore.

Are these costume ideas going to be all “lies”?

Isn’t there a wrecked/rusty 1967 Impala up on blocks in his driveway?

When everyone does it, it is no longer noteworthy.
