While the insured beater car idea has merit, and is possibly a profitable
venture, I think it would be more fun to cause them a bit more damage than
they've caused you. Nothing extremely dangerous mind you, just bad enough
to be fun.

Consider a rock garden.
Do it up nicely with a base of polished river rock or something, maybe
some 6" stones around the border. Then, strategically placed within the
border in line with their most likely trajectory, some 12-15" stones or
concrete ornaments arranged in an obstacle course fashion.
Imagine the satisfaction you'll get each time you come home to find the
rock garden all knocked askew!! All you'll really have to do is re-rake
the river rock smooth and possibly reposition some of the larger rocks.
You might even get enough oil dumped into the mix to keep the weeds at
bay.

AND...........

Along the same lines as the insured road block, get someone to write you
an obscene bill for the building of the garden, and then collect an
equally obscene amount for re-construction from the insurance company of
the vehicle that occasionally becomes lodged in your rock garden.

Fun-Fun...........

Any idea on what I can do about people driving too fast and sliding
around a curve landing in my front yard? The speedlimit is 35 but they
drive about 60. I got home to find huge ruts in my yard the other day.

I have talked to the county executive , judge madjestrate, highway
department. I have written letters and attached photos.

I was thinking of putting a fence up using 6x6 posts in concrete but
wondered if somehow someone would try to sue me if they got hurt.

I have a daughter and a son on the way and their bedroom faces the
road. I am scared to death someone is going to end up in my house!

I can attach pictures if that helps. I am just so fed up right now I
dont know what to do.
