Threat of eviction cuz my rig is "Ugly"

I would do what Buford said nobody responds well to being told off. And it sounds like if you piss them off, the first little bit of oil underneath it and you will be screwed
 
throw a small welder in the back and call it your work truck. and if they want to front you your wages, then youll move it but otherwise its here to stay.

Oh man do I feel your pain, same thing happened to me. OSI was even checking my trucks out, must've looked real suspicious. I basically just showed them all the current papers and told them to go away. I'd always see people walking around them with a pen and notepad though. Guess they had nothing better to do. Man was I glad when I finally got BAH.
 
I got married and now live in base housing and have base housing calling my first seargent all the time telling him that my truck needs to be put back together (top, doors and tailgate, in the summer time). I'd rather deal with a angry landlord than my first seargent when he's mad :doah: .... you can tell a land lord to go to hell.
Edit: my wife and I are gonna look into moving off base because I'm getting tired of being told I can't "hillbilly it up in base housing".
 
Is it just me, or am I the only one who would completely ignore the land lord? It's a running, registered truck probably in better shape than his DD.... I'd just see if it makes them mad enough to open their mouth again and then have the infoz to back it up.
 
I went through the same thing with my Blazers, and one pickup in the state of New mexico there is no law agianst removing your doors. as long as you have one point of rear view as long as your top/doors/tailgate are stored out of site they can't do anything to tell base housing to "sit on it and rotate" I had 9 vehicles in the dorm parking lot at one time and the Dorm manager threw a fit called OSI and SF but they were all Insured and registered and they were at the back of the lot so they let it go .....man did that piss of the dorm manager!!! I got my revenge on him though i had keys to the electrical room and i'd go in there at night and reset his circuit breakers and disconncet his cable and phone every few days for about a month!


Btw the Blazer in questions look very nice sounds like the landlord is looking for a reason to evict you I'd start looking for another place
 
hahaha thats awsome
i got the key to that room whil i was in the dorms
the cable guy put these little lock deals on the cable splitters cause people were stealing cable,
they are super easy to take off:)

I had a First Sergeant at Camp Pendleton that was hardcore about vehicles being licensed and insured, but also understood that some guys had so many allotments coming out of their check that they could barely afford a beater at all. He would hammer anyone that didn't have tags and insurance, no matter how nice their vehicle looked, but if it was L&I and drove, it could be a rust-bomb and he didn't care.

We had a pretty good hobby shop there and that's where the people that lived on base (and more than a few that lived off base) did their wrench work, because of the work bays and free tool loans (you sign in with your ID card, they give you a ring with a few dozen numbered metal tags, you go to the tool loan area, give them a tag and they give you a tool).
 
Make sure your county, city, (and HOA, if any) ordinance that may apply. Ask your landlord if there is something that it in the lease agreement or HOA that allows him to tell you to move it? Or if there has been any complains about your vehicle? But remember that he is trying to keep his value of the proporty up too. And you don't want to stop from renewing your lease or give you a bad recommandation for your next rental.
 
You should have seen the look on their faces when I masked off and rolled paint on my truck in my driveway in base housing! I had use or lose leave and they made me take it... so I got bored and painted my truck. But after I was done I got stopped in the hall way by my squadron commander and he asked if I was the one that was painting my truck in base housing and I told him that I was and he said thanks because now it's not such an eyesore for the whole base to look at. He was polite about it though.
I wish I had a truck like the one in the pic, I'd take all of the hassle to have a truck like that. Maybe one of your neighbors complained to him.... that's happened to me.
 
When Ft Devens was closing down I was one of the last occupants in housing. It was late winter/early spring and I had my vette snow bound in the driveway. I cleared it with Housing to leave it there a few more weeks and DPW so the would hit it with a plow (it looked like a snow bank). I swung by ever other day, to check on her.

After a few days I see foot prints in the snow all around her. Paranoid, I head to the Provost Office and tell the MP on duty somebody's been messing with my Vette. The Sergeant-of-the-Guard walks in a tells me he checked on the car. he "wanted to make sure it was registered" :rolleyes:

"Did you really think someone abandonied their Corvette?" :mad:

Maybe he meant that he wanted to make sure it had a valid DoD windshield sticker/base sticker and unexpired tags on the plates. Sometimes guys would let their tags expire, because they were on a field op, they were waiting for the next payday, or they just forgot to renew them. Some guys wouldn't have a base sticker, because they didn't have current insurance (so Pass & ID wouldn't issue a sticker). Some guys could afford a used Corvette, but not the insurance, being young males.
 
When I bought my jimmy it had a NCO sticker on it from a master seargent who pcs ten years ago and it was still in his name, but it had been passed around from airman to airman without ever having it changed.

It did leak oil, but does not now with the new crate motor I just put in in the driveway. They have never caught me working on it. It runs, has current tags and registration.

But as stated they will pobly do there best to make my life misrible if I give them the finger on this one.

my 75 was ugly as sin by traditinal standards..

the apartment I had was not to happy since I lived right next to the model home apartment that everyone who was looking to rent had to walk right by..

I met them half way on it and said I would keep it clean, and and covered when in the parking space, and other times I just kept it out on the street outside the apartment complex,



just tell him to meet you half way on the situation and be very profesinal about it and tell him you would like to come up with a solution that works for both of you,

a car cover sounds like the best option though
