Not In My Backyard: Suck-Up With Giant Cardboard Signs Terrorizes CarDomain Neighborhood

shit bitch, this blog is fucked.

Jen Dunnaway needs to stop complaining about so many things, get a life, and start writing about something worthwhile. It seems more and more articles by CarDomain staff on this site keep centering around whining, and nitpicking, and bitching about the most irrelevant things possible. They have every right to request a vehicle be moved after that long, period. Why the hell would you care anyways? This is worth writing about? And this is an editor?!

Wow, look at the B.S. on this one.
Check this out,
“I know that in your small little world your the king, and you rule everything,” BUT,
Check this out,
You don’t,
Other poeple just put up with you,
Ah, “Jackass”
Those of the same breed flock together, save the,
“the polic and, parking people think I’m rite.”
Were I’m from some of you would’nt last a week, and might I add, most of you, would’nt have much to go home to. “Get it.”
I hope for all the hard working “MIND THIER OWEN PEOPLE”-that one day you puff up to the wrong person.

Thanks Jen for helping a fellow Escort owner and standing up for the rights of cars. I lost my 77 LTD because it was parked in front of my house for a while, not moving…because I was in jail. City came and towed it away. It was not blocking anyone else’s house, it wasn’t causing trouble, it wasn’t doing anything wrong. It got towed anyways. By the time I got out, the impound fees were too much and I could not afford to get it out. You people need to just leave these cars alone. Did the car rape your dog or something? What is the real story behind this? The person leaving the signs under the wipers probably can’t afford a car, and they are envious that other people have a car that they can leave sitting for a while and not use it. GAH! I freakin hate people who can’t mind their own business. Also, you Chris, you don’t like the look of your neighbors car? Who cares? Maybe I don’t like the look of your car, should I get it towed? The world is turning into a damn home owners association! Get a hobby folks…seriously.

@ NS Nova:

Listen here I’ll break it down for the slow people who think “mind your own business” is what should happen. If the Neighbor parked his car in his driveway where I cant see it then I have no beef with that.. him parking the thing (ill say it slow for NS NOVA) IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE… makes it MY BUSINESS.

Sorry Chief… My POS driving neighbor and I have exchanged words. Politely we exchanged our views. He thinks he’s right and I think I’m right and so the game continues. My beef is that he just moves the car… he never drives it anywhere and its like one of 5 that he owns but chooses to park this one across from my home.

I actually don’t like the looks of his car and while you think “tuff shit, its legal” that isn’t completly true. The local police desk knows my phone number now and the desk folks that run traffic and parking actually think it’ll take only once of him getting towed to get him to put it in HIS driveway. I’m patient and persistent.

As to your puffy chest comments “some people need to mind their own damn business” “need thier face shoved in before they learn to mind thier OWN business” blah blah blah… feel better now? big guy? you showed me… freekin infant response.

These criers, moaners, and cop callers are the same kind of people!! They couldn’t find guts enough to ask the driver face to face to “please move your car” to save thier souls. You don’t like the “looks” of a car in front of your house? tuff shit !! It’s legally parked ? ,,,GOOD! then mind yur own goddam business!!! some people need thier face shoved in before they learn to mind thier OWN business .

OWNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh Sorry Lady… this car should be towed plain and simple. If the cars been there more than 72 hours bye, bye… I have a neighbor that loves to park his POS car across the street from my house… the things a HUGE eyesore but, he legal as long as he moves it. He knows I dont like it there and he knows that I call parking enforcement DAILY to have them come and chalk the tires. Mind you he doesn’t park this car in front of his house, which is around the corner.

Now I dont agree with the whole sign thing… leave a persons car alone… let law enforcement deal with it. But please… dont whine to me about its not doing any harm to anyone, its ok it sits there. No, sorry, not in my neighborhood. You spout “I mean, can you imagine being this determined to intervene in the lives of people who are just minding their own business?” oh please have a little respect for YOUR community. I for one wont let it go to he!! because some a$$ wants to park his heap around the corner from my house… maybe, just maybe, people like to park near their homes and not walk forever to get there.

Bottom line, get off your soapbox, get involved with your community to make it a better place to live and not become a used car lot for abandon vehicles.”

if the police dont wanna do anything about it take matters into ur own hands move it in the middle of the street get something to tow it with strap or push it with another car

Yeah some people are really ridiculous these days. We all need to just chill out and build some hot rods hahahaha.

My favorite sign that I see on occassion doesn’t say police or make note of how long the car has been abandoned. It simply says:

“Body in Trunk!”

a couple days later the car is towed ;-P

Been there, done that. Both called in cars that were sitting and had mine called in for just sitting. Really, if the car is that big of a PITA for you, call the cops. They’ll check with the owner and deal with it for you. Putting stuff under the wipers is a great way to ruin the blades – if I caught you doing that, you might not do it again any time soon. Good call on removing the signs. I hate that crap.

I worked nights and someone had my car towed from right in front of my apartment cuz i parked it in the same place everyday and they thought it was abandoned…at first i thought it was stolen but after i called the police they came and picked me up and took me to the impound yard to get my ride…if people just minded their own business the world would be a greater place.

My car was in worse condition when I left it in my apartment’s parking lot for a few weeks…I lost the badges and the right rear tail light was broken…
damn queers…
what the hell do they get from doing that anyway?
and guess what the security said when I reported this?
“I don’t think a broken piece of plastic sells for s***”

I would of taped a sign on the inside of the windshild saying “stop littering on my car, Littering is a crime”.

Hey If Someone Parked That Car I Front Of My Apartment I Wouldn’t Mind. Thats A Really Nice Car. I Don’t Think No One Would Abandon A Car Like That. Thank You Cardomain For Protecting Bad Ass Rides, And The Not So Bas Ass Ones Too.

I hate busy-bodies. I’ve always had a thought though. That owners of vehicles like this, that something happened to them. Like and unsolved murder or witness protection, or aliens. I dunno, I’m retarded.

Thanks CarDomain for protecting this awesome car from the neighborhood do-gooder. These are the same kind of people who build a house out in the country and then turn around and complain about those “smelly farms”. Idiot’s!

All I know is, if that was my car, I’d be pulling a stake-out/ major ass-whooping! Snitching on me and touching my car??? Be the last time that dude ever thought about doing that. Mind your own damn buisness, or get a job as a meter maid. Twerp.

If the car has the stickers up to date…and thats a good parking spot…mint or not leave the car alone…if its not blocking anything then hey the guy could be in vacation doing his maid or something…plus police wont tow unless he got unpaid tickets….lol anywho Not an eye sore doesnt look abandon…doesnt look trashed up leave the shit alone….

Was the car blocking anything? i would have done this for example i hate when my neighboor parks too dam close to my parking and i have to make like 30 moves to get out of my house that prick….then this is leg…peace

that is a niccee firebird though! and the moron who put the signs up is probably from out of the country. im guessing Indian or Pakistani. but seriously, ppl need to mind their own fuckin business!

that was seriously un called for it could have been any race u dumbass why does it always have to come down to which race did it.

I wish people would just leave nice cars alone. I can understand an eyesore, But a TA Comeon. Get the vin num. and see who it belongs to, call them and tell them who is doing all that. Hopefuly that guy will press vandalism charges.(HA HA HATERS!!!)

“This car here for 4 weeks!”

MUST.. REFRAIN…. FROM MAKING.. RACIST COMMENT!

If the Trans Am had the bird on the hood I’m all for it staying put. It does not. TOW HIM!

If the guy has his stickers up to date, it doesn’t really matter if it’s being moved or not. The cops can’t really do anything about it.

It’s kind of a waste of time in that sense.

We’ve had this guy whose alarm goes off every time a somewhat loud car goes by (every 15 minutes or so). I’ve been really tempted to put shit on his car too, although I never do. I just report it to the cops any day I hear it since it’s affecting my work and my sleep and has been for months.

In that case if someone put little, easily removable cardboard signs on his car I’d be a lot more accepting of it lol.

the issue here is there are very very few parking spaces in front of the building, and this “mint” (that’s laughable…its not THAT nice) trans-am has been sitting in the same spot for multiple weeks. the car hasn’t moved…at all. it should be towed. the owner obviously doesn’t care about it

I understand the fact that the car might be stolen or abandoned, but seriously some people have too much time on thier hands, catch the looser and put a “kick me” sign on his back or something. If i saw that id confront them and tell them to find better things to do than to touch other peoples cars, its like a violation of private space.

I find it interesting how many people responded pro or con to this post with very stong and sometimes foul language. Most of the responses just prove one thin, rude people like messing with other people’s business. I say leave the car alone, if the police really wanted to tow it and fine the guy he would. If you want to be a busy body call the Police, they are in the phone book. Putting huge notes on the car is just silly.

ha.

I’m no parking nazi but it just doesn’t seem THAT difficult to move your car every 3 days.

Going out of your way to leave signage all over a vehicle? Not my style.

…but I might feel different if I had to vie for parking on streets where tickets are dealt out daily.

This is the stupidest blog on the entire internet. Everybody envolved is a fucking retarded cunt.

I feel that touching another persons car is just as bad as putting your hands on the person there self and should not be a talking matter but a time for a serious beat down. I think thats whats wrong with people today everyone is in somebodys business and not their own so dont get on here and talk about it find a way to see who is doing this and kick their ass, or atleast break some fingers so they wont be writing on cars for awhile.

wow. sometimes i can understand when a car has been parked and abandoned by some crackhead who probably stole it, but i doubt a trans-am as nice as that one was just abandoned. it’s not your responsibility to move it. whoever owns the business it’s in front of needs to call the police and see if they can find the owner. but still. you don’t leave notes to the police on somebody’s car.

Personally, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this. If the guy is illegally parked, then he’s illegally parked. And if city parking in your town is anything like mine, then this car should be moved. So every apartment gets a parking spot?!Big deal. A lot of people own more than one car, including you, Jen. We already know you’re pretty self righteous about your cars and feel like other people are ignorant for not thinking like you (referring to your oil drip pan story). But if this car is abandoned or stolen, then the police need to be notified.
I usually enjoy your writing, but for now you need to get off your high horse or soap box and take a deep breath of reality. “

this is the self righteous asshole that would do something like put a cardboard sign on a car.

obviously W, A and E is the same person. set up a camera nearby to catch the sign poster idiot.

I totally agree with blog posters “A” and “E”. Trans AMs, whose owners have obviously been sentenced to a minimum of 6 to 48 months in count and strongly resemble Kid Rock, need to be towed after the 72 hour law has been broken. Especially when we have to pay up to $8 a day to park across the streets….

that ugly car has been there for a FEW WEEKS!!!!! its pretty annoying when there is an abandoned car taking up a valuable parking space in an area where parking spaces are few and far between. and, like “E” said, “Regardless of whether or not there is any sign posted, the City’s Traffic Code does not allow a vehicle to be parked on a city street for longer than 72 hours.” i say the ugly trans-am has got to go…obviously the owner doen’t care about it, so niether do i…

This must be someone from cardomain in my opinion. I bet noone would have put any signs on the car if it had never been blogged about it being there for days.

I too have multiple cars. I was terrorized by a neighbor who didnt like seeing my Trooper on the street. I didnt get cardboard signs, but my city’s parking enforsment was marking my tires with yellow grease pen every 2-3 days to check if it had been there 72 hours. I didnt bother cleaning the tire untill they finally gave up trying to tow my ride. It looked like a rulet wheel. I made sure I moved it every other day and parked it in front of the neighbors house as often as possible.

I suspect that same neighbor is responsible for the key marks, the broken mirror and the smashed pumpkin on the hood as well. Good thing the trooper is a tough old girl.

Jen, Are you sure that car hasnt been abandoned?

let me come out and someone other than a police officer is touchin my car or a friends and they gettin smacked

I tell you let anyone touch the reaper and i got a few shotguns with lead for their backsides jesu people get a life

that is a niccee firebird though! and the moron who put the signs up is probably from out of the country. im guessing Indian or Pakistani. but seriously, ppl need to mind their own fuckin business!

Whomever is taking the time to make those signs really needs to get a life. If you have nothing better to do than to try and attract attention to a car that is doing no harm to anyone or anything, then you seriously need a hobby. I am very particular about my car and I wouldn’t appreciate someone putting something like that on my car. I dare say it would probably even piss me off, for several reasons. I don’t know which act is more astounding, someone being such an egomaniac as to think that they have the right to dictate what someone else does with their personal property or the fact that someone would leave such a pristine example of late ’80s TA sitting unprotected on the street for an extended period of time like that.

And I thought it was “mind your own business” there in America!!! Funny how nobody cares to mind nor lift a finger when someone falls on the sidewalk suffering from a stroke or heart attack…ha ha ha.

i actgually never seen or heard of this happening till now…i think its fucked!!

its still better than idoits keying your car trust me.with price tag of $1600 Vs. a card board sign-its a small price to pay.

I honestly think thats messed up i could understand if its at an aprtment complex in someone elses parking but out in a public area thats just ludacris whats next notes on cars if you park crooked?

my vote is on a bum that found a marker…
-
-
plenty of suspects in Seattle then

ROFL… I see a blog about someone with far too much time on his or her hands and a penchant for sucking up to the parking authority, aggravating others or freeing up parking space on the streets – or all three… and what do I see at the top of the comments?
-
Some crusty republican grumbling about “Liberals”.
-
Seriously, SPfury… is this a political thing, or are you just so pre-loaded that almost anything triggers you into a gyroscopic clockwise spin?
-
My guess is the latter. It’s a CAR! It has some signs left under the wipers! Someone left them! What the hell is political about that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Spfury,

this strikes me as more of a conservative church lady type thing to do.

It is sickening how the self-rightous Liberals in this country want to rule everyones life from birth to death. For a group that talks about peoples rights, they do everthing they can to destroy personal freedom. I hope someone figures out who he is and tags his car when he is out of town for a couple of days and gets it impounded.

dude, people need to mind their fucking business, its like the people who walk up t people who smoke and say “hey, HEY!! stop that, it will kill you, i know, i saw it on tv.” Fuckin self righteous, know nothing assholes, feeling good about themselves because they’re hurting someone else. These are the people that make me loose faith in mankind.

Do you guys have any body shop casters that you can use to move the car forward or backward a little now and then?

This happened to me once. I’m a college student and live in an apartment complex less than a mile from school so I usually. I work on campus as well so no need to drive to work. And since I drive a pick-up, I never have to worry about driving when my friends and I go out. So the truck just sits there normally. Nosy people in the building started complaining that someone had “abandoned a truck” in our lot and asked for it to be removed. Apparently the parking pass in the window wasn’t proof enough that I, the owner, lived there for them. So now I’ll just periodically move it to a different spot from time to time or drive somewhere when I really don’t need to.

Those people really need to get a life…
