Nice Urban Neighborhood

I parked my vanagon (1986) up on ramps to change out the gas tank a few years ago.

The seals on those old things give out with time.

Anyway, I was missing a part so it stayed up on the ramps for a couple of days.

He had to move the car.

My neighbor complained anonymously and the city came out and left a notice that it had to be moved.

So I reinstalled the gas tank and drove that thing right up on my front lawn, back up on ramps.

Fixed it the next day when the part came in, but left it there for a week.

He came up with a funny threat.

When I saw my suspected Karen at the park walking her dogs, I told her: “If I ever get that kind of nonsense again, I’ll put a couch on my front lawn and start drinking my beer and practicing my banjo out there.”

Never had another complaint outta her.

I love his creative and musical threat!

Let’s see how Reddit responded to this story.

I think I’d prefer the banjo!

It is one of life’s mysteries.

This person would want to be his neighbor.

They could form a band.

Don’t mess with him, or he’ll start to play!
