I spoke with the neighbor logically and politely, as a few of you
recommended, and he moved the car immediately. I was still worried
that he might not be happy with my request. I did mention the mailbox
and elderly woman problems.

No, I'm not a troll. Just someone with many questions/situations for
which I find this group extremely helpful.

Thanks to all who replied -- even those of you with not-so-helpful
replies. You entertained me.
