Re: Car multiplication due to trailer ownership.. or "I can go get that"

The only reason I don't have a collection is because I live in an apartment, so the fact I have to beg for space at my folks to keep our Lemon is bad enough.  Our 69 Roadrunner project car had to be sold because of it!

Re: Car multiplication due to trailer ownership.. or "I can go get that"

I was solely responsible for my apartment complex instituting a "no inop. vehicles" rule.

Then I had them pay for towing my car to the tow yard and back for violating said rule, as they in turn violated the county's "48 hour warning necessary on unrestricted parking lots" rule.

Then they decided to introduce parking restrictions so that they can tow my cars at will, and keep me from parking all 7 of them. Fortunately, I have my work's parking lot nearby, and I'm now renting a detached garage, so I can still keep 3 crapcans around at any one time. I'll pick the ugliest ones so that I can annoy the office into making more stupid decisions. Still waiting on a "no cars with a roll-on paint job" rule.

Reasons why I swore I would never live in an apartment, ever again.  I remember my first place in Laurel, MD.  One day I was walking out to my '74 Satellite and found a yellow ticket-looking thing on it.  It was from the "Please Department" (not making that up) asking me to fix the various drips and leaks from my car.

A guy who lived next door to me had a '77 Camaro (bitchin'!) and another fellow had a '78 T-bird; we used to park all of them together.  It was the Malaise section of the parking lot.  There was a crappy looking old Aramark truck we used to park next to, too.

Owning a trailer capable of hauling a car was bad enough, but once I equipped said trailer with an electric winch things really got dangerous...

My trailer has a 2500 lb winch.  It's strong enough to pull a roller up the ramps, but not enough to get the junk that's becoming one with the muck.

That helps keep my projects feasible.

This statement makes me wonder if it's really such a good idea to put a 12000lb winch and a receiver on the nose of my parts hauler/light duty tow truck.

Oh, I didn't learn that law in college, is that math, physics, philosophy or economics?

Yes, and then some.

I am not sure how you guys grow rust out in Cali but if you need help with it let me know. We have enough to export here in Ohio.
