ebco2468 Posted January 15, 2010 Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Heard today that the code enforcers are going to be looking for race cars in yards and that they are considered as junk vehichles i do not understand why the city and other people cant mind there own buisness i do not go looking i their back yards to see what i can complain about i thought you bought a piece of propety to live and keep your stuff at that is my thought on this matter and if push comes to shove i think we as racers and americans should stand up to this because it is just another way to take more of are freedom away from us...................

BJ34 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 I have already went through that they told me that any modifiction to a vehicle makes them junk but when i asked them how big of yard are they going to build to hold al the low riders and 4x4 that have a lift kit on them they said that did not count. dont try to us a car tarp even one that is made for them you cant do that even if they are in your backyard if they can see them from any road they will cry and send you a paper that gives you so long to get rid of it or they will fine you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neon14 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 thats a bummer. I got a letter in the mail some years ago and had to get a car out of my yard. it was a pinto station wagon lol. it hacked me off. thats part of living in a big city I guess. I now live in an unincorporated city or town. and I dont pay taxes to build baseball stadiums, shoping malls, or downtown bullcrap that I dont use. on the other hand you guys have a couple of great race tracks. yall are gonna have to keep your race cars in the garage.

NickHolt Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Isn't there a good lawyer with an interest in motorsports in the CC area? Seems like this ordinance needs a review by a competent judge with a ounce or two of good old fashioned common sense. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1955chevy33 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 YEA,ITS NOT FUNNY HOW THEY PICK AND CHOOSE WHICH CODES TO ENFORCE AND WHICH ONES TO IGNORE.MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE CODE ENFORCERS YARD AND THE CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS. SOME SMALL TOWNS ARE NOT ANY BETTER ! I GUESS THEY DONT CARE THAT RACING BRINGS INCOME INTO THEIR COMMUNITY . NOT WORKING ON YOUR CAR ,I COULD UNDERSTAND IF SOMEONE IS OUT REVVING HIS MOTOR ALL THE TIME WITH NO EXHAUSTS.

champ1796 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 There are plenty of other things I would like to see my tax money being spent on like infrastructure improvements. Hell I couldnt flush a toilet for most of the day yesterday because of a measly 5 inches of rain, yet we are paying people to harass folks. I can certainly them not wanting a yard to look like a salvage yard but working on a vehicle or race car at your residence should be your right. And how is having a race car parked at your residence any different than a boat. They are both meant for hobbies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railer Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 they got me too a few years back , They said that you can have only 1 car as a hobby to fix up or so . So I look into it alittle more I found out that if you have it on a trailer with up to date tags etc they can not do anything about it ,and if you put a car cover over it they cant do anything as well. Then they got all mad at my neighbors as well , But the bottom line is that someone has to complaine to the city for them to come out . Well I think that all the city trucks ,cars, and employees cars that they drive home should be licenced to the state as well ... So Ive seen alot of car etc without tags around the city ,, So what about theirs? Then the next stupid thing I see (wasted tax dollars) they patch pot holes in the RAIN????? Go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickHolt Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 Say Nick is S.A the same way? I haven't heard much about Code Compliance issues within the city, although certain subdivisions have and enforce their own subdivisioun rules, especially in the gated subdivisons. I still say someone who has been busted under that ordinance needs to get a sympathetic lawyer to get the case heard before a judge. Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 My next door neighbor's nephew got mad at me because I wouldn't loan him some more money. He called and complained to the City, and they tagged an old Postal Jeep that was in my driveway. I was on vacation when it was tagged. Before I could get back, they towed it from my driveway. And left a ticket for abandoned vehicle taped to my front door. $600 fine. Rules of this forum prevent me from saying what I'll do the next time I see my neighbor's nephew.....

BJ34 Posted January 16, 2010 Report Share Posted January 16, 2010 The city of Mathis does have a city code .
