I wouldn’t classify that as damage. Damn, that’s a tough HOA. Worse thing we do is bust people for non-operable/non-registered cars, and that’s only of they’re crappy looking or have obvious issues like flat tires.
There’s a house up near one of the entrances to our neighborhood that has a Mustang in the driveway that’s clearly not moved for at least a year. No plate, but otherwise to the average observer it would just look like a car parked in someone’e driveway. I suggested that they back the car in so the lack of a license plate isn’t visible. They haven’t, so if someone gets their nose out of joint or they piss off a neighbor the HOA won’t have a choice but to cite them. -D > On Jul 8, 2019, at 7:09 PM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > Let's assume your HOA covenants ban possession of motor vehicles with > 'moderately severe body damage'. > > Questions: > 1.
