Up until the sixties and seventies on the weekends I used to see
people in their driveways and garages repairing or doing maintenance
on their cars. I hardly ever see that anymore. It used to be that if
you wanted to have your car repaired you could just go to any repair
shop. Today you have to consider what the repair involves. If it’s
something complicated you need to take it to the dealer and pay the
big bucks or same time next year you’re probably going to have the
same problem. To know why this is just lift up the hood of a car from
that era and then do the same thing to an automobile today.

You won't see me do it because I do mine in the garage usually
with the door shut.

That's the way you gotta do it where I live. The HOA nazis got some
kinda rule against auto repair in the street or driveway. Ahhhh, the
joys of HOAs!

Jerry,

Get your wife to be the HOA Pres. Then, when people complain to you, tell
'em to take it up with the board, or better yet, go straight to the
president. Nine times out of ten, they won't know who it is, and when they
look up the address, by the time they find out it's your house, they won't
bother with the complaint anymore.

works for me, anyhow.
