That's pretty sad. I understand HOA's for keeping property values up and the neighborhood nice, but sometimes rules go too far.

I'd never have a "project" car on blocks in the driveway, but If I wanted to take 15 minutes and change my oil or check my spark plugs I would never even think twice about it, and my neighbors wouldn't either.

Sometimes people go too far with rules and scare good people away. A place where I have to think "if it's ok" to do anything is scary and sad. I hope it isn't really like that there. Just seeing the question asked is scary.

In another 55+ community up the road from me, they have a rule that unless you are driving in or out of your garage, you are supposed to keep it closed at all times. That's nutsy.
