HOAs are important if you want the neighborhood to be nice for a long time. A HOA saved me, the HOA sued the Propane company because they were raising prices and threatening anyone who tried to get a different provider in our neighborhood. Also my neighbor tried to get his whole front yard turned into concrete which would ruin the value of his home and mine. Also my other neighbor kept parking his cars in a way that it was blocking my driveway there was no town rule, but there was an HOA rule. We asked nicely for him to stop when he didn’t, the ones blocking the driveway were towed. So please think before you make dumb comments. Also you have the right to not live in an HOA it’s called don’t live in one.
@@Dan-mq6xt Your last part is where you failed. In California and a growing number of other states, developers can't build new homes unless they are part of an HOA.

I own a 40 year old car and a 29 year old truck & a 20 year old truck. Two of my vehicles have faded patinas but they are excellent mechanically with rebuilt engines and transmissions. Nobody has the right to tell me I have to get rid of my vehicles just because the neighbors don't like the faded paint jobs.
As someone who likes older cars way more than newer ones, just know that this HOA fucking sucks and everyone else thinks your truck is way cooler than anything made today
I owned a home that had an HOA for about 20 years. I hated it. I wasn't allowed to hang my clothes in my back yard. My son visited from out of state. He has a motorcycle and stayed with us for two weeks. We was told the motorcycle wasn't allowed in the driveway. My AC broke down in the middle of a Texas hot summer but we'd have to wait for a few weeks for a part to be delivered so we bought an in window AC.. we was told it needed to be removed. We sold that house last year and moved. I told my realtor absolutely NO HOA when looking for a new house.. I would never have one ever again.
Update: he easily won in court, the HOA then proceeded to ban him from "all use of any and all of the common facilities for a period of one (1) year" for no other reason than they were salty they couldn't kick him out of his home
The dumbest part about it is that these people worry about him 'dragging down' the neighborhood values, as if his truck will magically make you not want to move in, for me, it'd do the opposite. I would love to see his truck every morning when I head out.
@@ViolentMLG Exactly. I am the proud owner of a 1961 Chevy Apache 10 stepside, so seeing somebody else with a classic vehicle would only make me want to move in more.

I live in a HOA and they decided to redo our public pool and splash pad. However, there really was no need to, and when they did they made the splash pad a lot smaller and less fun for kids. The HOA got displeased with how it turned out so they redid the splash pad again! What a waste of money. P.s- splash pad still bad to this day.
I was building a patio for a customer years back, is HOA said patios and decks could only he a certain square footage and could not extend beyond 15 feet front the house's fondation, that left them with very little room for their furniture and grill. Since there was no restrictions on landscaping I placed two large patio slabs just off the main patio so he had a place for his grill, his HOA rep was NOT happy buy couldn't find any infraction that covered his gripe, but he never forgot. A couple of weeks later I was a few houses down and the guy walks over and told me he received a HOA citation for not having a over on his grill. Turns out he cooked a couple of steaks and left the grill to cool down before putting the cover back on, it started raining so he left it to early the next morning to covered it. The only way to even SEE the grill is to actually walk behind the row of houses through the 10 foot wide area the builder had to leave beyond the 15 toot lot envelope, the only people that go back there besides the home owners are the lawn cutting crews...and apparently the anal retentive nightmare of a HOA nazi out on a rainy night looking for revenge. BTW the guy took his citation to the full board, explained what happened and got the violation overturned.
OMG, I can picture the Nazi out there in the rain, hunched over in their trench coat, furiously flipping through the rule book with a pair of binoculars... these people are sick.

Weird underhanded insult. I think his truck looks better than any basic cuv out there. I mean that's the kinda vehicle I'd pass in my neighborhood and admire while I drove by.
I once lived in a neighborhood that had a HOA. One rule was no utility trailers allowed to be parked on the driveway. I had one I kept stored under my deck in my back yard. I used it one day and when I was finished I parked it in my driveway intending to put it back under the deck the next morning. The next morning I had a letter from the HOA in my mailbox already with a picture of my utility trailer parked in my driveway. A note was with it explaining I was in violation BLAH BLAH BLAH and had something like 2 weeks to rectify the situation. So I let the trailer sit there up until the very last day I had to "rectify the situation" and THEN I moved it back under the deck in the back yard rather than moving it the very next morning after having used it. Reminds me of that quote: "Don't hate the player. Hate the game." And reminds me of an old Charlie Sheen quote: "Winning!" 🤣🍻
Don't you understand English? It clearly states that it can't be parked in the driveway. Sad that you need someone else to tell you to follow the clearly stated rules. Move somewhere without HOAs.
@@ksmith2852 I understand English. I also understand how to not be a complete ASSHOLE. Apparently you don't. I'll bet you're a member of an HOA. hahaha! Your problem, not mine.
@Trinexx007 Exactly how I feel about the truck owner. Your dumbass moved into an HOA, now they are cracking down on _your_ shit, and you have a problem with it? Time to move pal, sorry you had to learn the hard way.
Here in Australia as long as the car is registered they are not allowed to dictate if you you can keep it on your property they can only do it if the car is in non running and unregistered
I know, the homeowners seem like they have no taste or appreciation for things like that truck, if they don't like the truck being parked then they should just leave the owner and his truck alone, why even send him to court??
HOAs are ran by kids that got bullied in school, so now that they're adults, they think they can get away with being bullies themselves. I swear, HOAs should be outlawed. That's a damn good looking truck, I'd love to have it in my driveway.
Cardboard Sliver Fn home Nazi Association years ago my girlfriends parents live in a home not see area they bitched constantly about my 64 Dodge that had a paint job like this truck. her father constantly asked me when I was going to get a new paint job. I always replied:" Are you paying?" His solution was to ban me from coming over. She left that house and came to live with me.
why should HOA's be outlawed, because you don't want them, it's a choice to live there, everyone gets a copy of the rules/bylaws, only a fool would think that they could ignore them. if you don't like the control don't buy, it's simple.
Pringle Boi, people who buy in an HOA were not thinking about the fact that they were spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a house where you have to follow someone else’s rules.
should be, but won't be ... would love to see a nationwide movement to dissolve them ... www.hopb.co/blog/understanding-the-process-of-dissolving-a-homeowners-association-hoa
HOAs are a double edged sword. It's like anything. People get very nit picky and personal which is what we have here. I dealt with this in Colorado. As one commenter wrote. "Imagine living in a place where your largest problem is you don't like the paint on your neighbors truck." It turns into a pissing contest and the time and money could be better spent on helping people out.
@Bite Me I think it depends on the rules. I’ve lived in a condo with an HOA for over 20 years now, and while some of their rules seem stupid to me, on the whole I really can’t complain.
@Dr. Giggles The new constructions are HOA, though them buying rural land and making it HOA should be stopped at once. Matter of fact all HOAs should be outlawed as they violate the U.S. Constitution and are basically just a racket to enforce conformity. Guess if there's no rural land for independent people we'll just have to live in the mountains and fight bears over berry bushes! ; )
There was an HOA here in Florida that had a golf course inside of it. The owner of the golf course died, and his son inherited it. He immediately closed it down, and was going to turn it into a water park, because he hated golf and everything about it. The hoa blocked him from doing this, so now the golf course is closed, the residents that "paid" to live on a golf course are salty, and last i heard, he was trying to get section 8 high-rise apartments built on the land😅
That's absolutely ridiculous that an HOA can force foreclosure on someone because they have an ancient truck (THAT STILL IS MECHANICALLY SOUND). HOAs will be a complete dealbreaker for me if I'm househunting, PERIOD.

@@RangerCaptain11A No, they said his truck violates the rules because it is so damaged, only I fail to see any body damage. He does need to find a new house though, not only to get away from this ridiculous HOA, but he is clearly a car collector and needs more storage space for his collection. I really want to see the other two vehicles he owns.
Bought into an HOA, I had a Chevy Blazer that didn't fit in the garage. They had a "no trucks parked in the drive way" rule. They took me to court over it. I won by pulling out the registration that categorized it as a station wagon.
Awesome. Many states register even 1/2 ton full sized pickups, like any 1500 series, with the same plates thats any passenger car can get. If the HOA wants to go play rotten like that, that means that probably 95% of the vehicles in that neighborhood have to park inside, with the trend of everyone needing an SUV. Are they trucks, or are they cars? A little of both, really.
You have to check what the registration indicated... mine was marked as "SW", which in Florida was "Station Wagon". Their lawyer asked me why I didn't tell the HOA it was designated a "station wagon", in front of the judge. I told him they never asked and frankly it wasn't my job to educate them... that was HIS job. The judge laughed.
I’m a Brit and absolutely shocked that this goes on. We don’t have HOAs thank god. The fact they can sell your house is ridiculous, the HOA are petty dictators
WHY? In his interview with the news Lipka actually endorses HOA's with the caveat that "this time they have gone too far". Not only did he CHOOSE to live somewhere where others can tell you what to do with your own property, but he AGREES WITH THE PRINCIPAL. Even after it has bitten him in the ass, he stands behind the tyranny of HOA's. Same principle, different subject with socialism: "Socialism works but they didn't do it right." "HOA's work, but they're not doing it right." HEY DUMBASS! Any time you voluntarily give up liberty for your benefit and it bites you in ass as soon as you disagree with the people that you allowed to have power over you, don't complain! Remember: HE ASKED FOR THIS!

He does this every week right after my gardeners are done with my yard. Our street is the messiest street in the HOA residence.
They thought the truck would decrease their property values. It does not. Ironically, their lawsuit might actually reduce property values in their neighborhood. Wouldn’t want to live near any of those sad people.

You are correct. There is no benefit to an HOA and a huge downside. I would never give some clique power over my home. I already have a city government that drives me spare and gives me no opportunity to do anything about it. I don't need another level of that shinola.
@@puppetsock I honestly think that if we paid for it and as long as nothing is physically hurting neighbors or anyone then it should be ok. I seriously abhor regulations like that, just because a few karen's who made their HOA think that what they say should be law, F that.
Beautiful truck. Love that patina. I would never paint that. That has NO body damage. There should be no way he loses this battle. The contract CLEARLY says "Severe body damage". Paint Patina is NOT body damage.
No they exist for the property’s in the hoa to be maintained so the houses won’t look bad and when the other houses look like shit the nice houses value goes down.
Just another example of a big baby wanting his way. The car looks like a piece of junk. Park it in your garage and be a friggin grownup. HOA's keep people like you from trashing neighborhoods. Grow up, park it in the garage or move somewhere they don't have an HOA.
My dad did auto mechanic and auto body. This is only paint wear. This is a classic truck which probably qualifies for historic plates. I dont see any body damage to this vehicle from this clip. Auto damage to me is when your in a car accident and its damaged fenders, mangled car parts, missing car parts and the like. The HOA thinks his truck is an eye sore. If the man is paying his bills and HOA fees, they shouldnt be able to foreclose. It seems the HOA is being greedy, wants more money, and unreasonable. I hope the court and judge see this is a classic truck and its on his property, not the street.
Tusktroll HOAs are more on the communists side. Communists/socialists want everyone equal with order no one can be different this includes house color, garden setup, type of roofs, property maintenance all have to be the same... fascists are based on hierarchy level. One government (HOA) picks who should do what. In theory it would pick houses to look great and other to look horrible creating a hierarchy. But both communists and fascists have absolute control. Having no HOA would be considered a liberalism. Free to do whatever one desires usually it describes an economic standpoint. All this to tell you HOAs a garbage. When you buy a HOA home (usually cheaper) you give them rights to your property. It’s another level of government added to your home.
That and every other reason. Never anything simple when theres an h.o.a.... As a contractor i have met some real nasty people with huge power trips when it comes to h.o.a .
I used to live in a historic district and hated it. It's basically a city controlled HOA x10. They want to keep old ass houses original yet they hate classic cars, and gave me shit for my 1955 F1 on the driveway. Glad I moved away into the country
sadly they are more and more common. these large developer with new construction especially in a suburbs that build multiple units in a one neighborhood wont let u buy a house if u dont sign s pact with the devil
I live in a beautiful neighborhood and I Boston suburb and I’ve had numerous “ yard monuments“ and Only once did they come to my house and say you can’t have two unregistered vehicles on your lawn at the same time. This was not an H O Way this was the town I told him that I wasn’t going to do anything about it and that it was my yard and they never came back...
True. But all cars parked on the driveway make the place look like a used car lot in time. Case closed. He needs to park that work truck in his garage.
Christian Clue you tell me: 2006 BMW 325Xi 6MT wagon 100% stock (no ugly mexicanized rims and fading paint), a 2012 BMW 128i 6MT w Sport Package with no / ghetto rims, beautiful original paint 100% stock, and - imagine this: I use my garage for both! I don’t care that they’re both becoming collector’s cars. My neighbors don’t want to live in a used car lot.
Christian Clue sorry if i offended you; my points are that we should remain sensitive to community standards and parking a beat up non restored truck with fading paint and ghetto rims in the driveway is testing and challenging neighbors. I have been on 4 HOA boards and would definitely supported towing this eye sore away.
Christian Clue you’re still ignoring my points after 3 attempts: park in the garage, trashy rims and bad paint are non conforming and aesthetically problematic, remain sensitive to neighbors. I could drive a greater visual albatross than that old truck and because I care about my neighbors and use the garage it wouldn’t matter. Final comment on a really obvious point.
I agree with this poor guy that his truck is fine but on the other hand if you get rid of HOAs entirely there'll be folks who run their auto repair business on the street in front of their house. I had a neighbor who's a truck driver who felt it perfectly okay to park his semi on our street over every weekend. He was so proud of that thing I guess he figured we all wanted to see it in our front window.
Using your home as a base for a business is entirely legal Karen, shut the hell up and stop obsessing what other people do with THEIR property. Go whine to the manager until they accept your expired 25 cent off coupons.
I had a green 66 that looked alot like that one but hardly any rust patina. Had the 289ci engine and 3-on-the-tree if I remember right and drove quite nice. It also had a cooler insert in the driver's door to fit a 12-pack or more with a drain out the bottom for melted ice. I really liked that truck and cooler way back in my road tour days. It was a good ride but not too nice for gravel roads.
I actually turned down a really good bargain on a very beautiful house because it had that little piece of micromanaging government. With the way we have too much government to begin, why would anybody volunteer for more government in a HOA? I guess the house was so affordable because it had a HOA and nobody wanted to bother with that stupidity.
@@Brandon-nz7pd What can they do? When you don't agree to be part of an organization and don't pay that organizations due's, you are not legally bound by that organizations rules and regulations. Which the US Supreme court has upheld on numerous occasions.

I don't understand how HOA's have the power to foreclose on someone's property. They're not the ones who gave the money for the property, so they have no lien on the property.

If I am on the jury In this particular case, the term "moderately severe body damage" doesn't come even close to including the condition of his truck. Lipka is not the one violating the HOA rules.
I'm not sure on the stats, but probably 4 out of 5 homes these days are under HOAs. Those that aren't may not be affordable or meet many folks' criteria for being able to purchase.
It is likely only one stupid, nosey, neighbour with no life complaining to their microgovernemnt of HOA. I do not know why people move into stupid places that have them. Why subject yourself to mroe government willingly?

The problem is that a lot of us have no choice. More than 80% of my city is HOA controlled, and unless you want to live the crappy areas of town, you're in an HOA.
This is sad to see, especially because the truck seems to be mechanically sound too, and not too loud or smoking or anything. It's literally just a classic car in original condition with normal wear.
@@StephenKershaw1 the big thing in question was the body damage and broken down part of the agreement, but there was no actual body damage and wasn't broken down.

Me and a couple buddies were rearranging our garage at my stepdad's house and we rolled out his hot rod so we could move some stuff around in the garage and his HOA tried to pull the same kind of shit on us about a car with no hood All the complaints stopped when one of the HOA president's cars just so happened to miss a hood and wheels tires and windows and all sorts of stuff turned up missing on their car It was a major eyesore and very quickly they quit complaining about our hot rods sitting in the driveway and worried about their own things
I have never heard anything positive about living in an HOA "place", therefore, it would be difficult to think of a reason, if asked, what good are they? Green lawns? LOL
People who aspire to be a part of an HOA tend to be shit people, who want power and control so they can spend everyone else's money on stupid things. School teachers are some of the worst HOA nazis out there, because they're used to feeling like they're always 'right,' due to lording over a bunch of powerless children.
What has happened to our country? That 65 Ford truck is my favorite truck of all time, it was built with pride, that is more truck than any in that HOA, just goes to show you that these people do not appreciate what America is really about, that truck has more character than any built today, how can it not be appreciated?
That's why I don't live in an HOA, I'd rather move under a bridge! Too many people that have no saying else where, try to be big shots in those associations.

I owned a home that had an HOA for about 20 years. I hated it. I wasn't allowed to hang my clothes in my back yard. My son visited from out of state. He has a motorcycle and stayed with us for two weeks. We was told the motorcycle wasn't allowed in the driveway. My AC broke down in the middle of a Texas hot summer but we'd have to wait for a few weeks for a part to be delivered so we bought an in window AC.. we was told it needed to be removed. We sold that house last year and moved. I told my realtor absolutely NO HOA when looking for a new house.. I would never have one ever again.

I live in a HOA and they decided to redo our public pool and splash pad. However, there really was no need to, and when they did they made the splash pad a lot smaller and less fun for kids. The HOA got displeased with how it turned out so they redid the splash pad again! What a waste of money. P.s- splash pad still bad to this day.
I was building a patio for a customer years back, is HOA said patios and decks could only he a certain square footage and could not extend beyond 15 feet front the house's fondation, that left them with very little room for their furniture and grill. Since there was no restrictions on landscaping I placed two large patio slabs just off the main patio so he had a place for his grill, his HOA rep was NOT happy buy couldn't find any infraction that covered his gripe, but he never forgot. A couple of weeks later I was a few houses down and the guy walks over and told me he received a HOA citation for not having a over on his grill. Turns out he cooked a couple of steaks and left the grill to cool down before putting the cover back on, it started raining so he left it to early the next morning to covered it. The only way to even SEE the grill is to actually walk behind the row of houses through the 10 foot wide area the builder had to leave beyond the 15 toot lot envelope, the only people that go back there besides the home owners are the lawn cutting crews...and apparently the anal retentive nightmare of a HOA nazi out on a rainy night looking for revenge.
BTW the guy took his citation to the full board, explained what happened and got the violation overturned.

I once lived in a neighborhood that had a HOA. One rule was no utility trailers allowed to be parked on the driveway. I had one I kept stored under my deck in my back yard. I used it one day and when I was finished I parked it in my driveway intending to put it back under the deck the next morning. The next morning I had a letter from the HOA in my mailbox already with a picture of my utility trailer parked in my driveway. A note was with it explaining I was in violation BLAH BLAH BLAH and had something like 2 weeks to rectify the situation. So I let the trailer sit there up until the very last day I had to "rectify the situation" and THEN I moved it back under the deck in the back yard rather than moving it the very next morning after having used it. Reminds me of that quote: "Don't hate the player. Hate the game." And reminds me of an old Charlie Sheen quote: "Winning!" 🤣🍻

Bought into an HOA, I had a Chevy Blazer that didn't fit in the garage. They had a "no trucks parked in the drive way" rule. They took me to court over it. I won by pulling out the registration that categorized it as a station wagon.
that's a good one, congratulations!!
Awesome. Many states register even 1/2 ton full sized pickups, like any 1500 series, with the same plates thats any passenger car can get. If the HOA wants to go play rotten like that, that means that probably 95% of the vehicles in that neighborhood have to park inside, with the trend of everyone needing an SUV. Are they trucks, or are they cars? A little of both, really.
You have to check what the registration indicated... mine was marked as "SW", which in Florida was "Station Wagon". Their lawyer asked me why I didn't tell the HOA it was designated a "station wagon", in front of the judge. I told him they never asked and frankly it wasn't my job to educate them... that was HIS job. The judge laughed.

That is awesome to hear you won and how you managed to win cause the registration classified as a station wagon.

With the way we have too much government to begin, why would anybody volunteer for more government in a HOA? I guess the house was so affordable because it had a HOA and nobody wanted to bother with that stupidity.
Sonofsin what if no one buys a house with hoa or moves somewhere with no hoa...
No, yew jest stays in yer trailer home until it gits too rusted...thin yew move to a nuther trailer.
almost impossible to find home in non-HOA neighborhood
@raiden z How are you going to defend your castle when the Australian government just took your guns? :-)
Why would anyone pay a HOA fees every year, so they can tell you what to do with your property?
Because they already rule everything in the area. Blood suckers
Exactly, it is the stupidest thing to do when buying a home.

HOA keep dumb ass neighbors from doing dumb ass things. That truck isnt one of those things though.
Keeps property value up
HOAs are one of the banes of modern society, I would never live happy under the abusive power of a Home Owners Association.
I feel so very bad about the homeowner. He's not doing anything wrong. Themembers should get rid of the entire homowner's board.
Do not ever ever ever ever buy a damn house in an HOA neighborhood. They suck worse than anything. And they can make up their rules as they go.
No buy one, just don't sign the HOA paperwork. That's separate papers attached to the deed agreement. You can buy a property without being in the HOA.
@@friorast999 doesnt this come with consequences?
@@Brandon-nz7pd What can they do? When you don't agree to be part of an organization and don't pay that organizations due's, you are not legally bound by that organizations rules and regulations. Which the US Supreme court has upheld on numerous occasions.
@@friorast999
That doesn't sound true.
Frior Ast This is incorrect. You won’t be able to close on the house. When your house is part of an HOA, it is legally part of a PUD (Planned Unit Development) and you need a Certificate of Approval by the HOA for both your lender and the county record. HOAs have a lot of power. They’re like a mafia....
That pickup has absolutely no body damage, he isn't breaking any rules.
No kidding, thats a beautiful patina! Stupid hoa
It's a nice finish on the body and looks perfect
Ready to prime and paint.
True and in today's older car market a lot of buyers are looking for just that type of older look.
those assholes and ass kissers only think about profit not what makes the person or individual. My brother in law lives in one of those places and his son is a deputy and even he was told the patrol car couldn't be out at night by the curve so my nephew spoke to his captain and he made a couple of phone calls and guess what the president had to finger his own asshole after that.lmfao
I don't understand how HOA's have the power to foreclose on someone's property. They're not the ones who gave the money for the property, so they have no lien on the property.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Why would anyone buy a home governed by an HOA? They’re only a headache. Absolutely ridiculous. The truck is beautiful and he should sell and move
Glad my house and property is only governed by local ordinances
I live in an HOA. I have been here for 15 years. It is a good common sense organization and keep a moderate control over our housing area. Gets after keeping cracks sealed on the roads, keeps drainage ditches clear and has a simple, practical set of rules. A minimalist approach. This HOA is excellent, caring group. No problems here.
@@joerogers4227 You live in a good HOA then... I lived in a St.louis area HOA for 12 years and I felt I was under the Nazi regime... Needles to say... I now live in Texas... I can own a donkey if I want... lol..
@@joerogers4227 Disagree. HOAs are, essentially, leftist communes in which individuals forfeit personal liberty in favor of Big Brother 'protection'. However, it is still your right to abdicate personal liberty and responsibility, and Andy Lipka still has the right to escape the restraints of his HOA by selling and moving.
If I am on the jury In this particular case, the term "moderately severe body damage" doesn't come even close to including the condition of his truck. Lipka is not the one violating the HOA rules.
I'm not sure on the stats, but probably 4 out of 5 homes these days are under HOAs. Those that aren't may not be affordable or meet many folks' criteria for being able to purchase.
The neighborhood doesn't even look fancy enough to justify that level of snootyness
lol true
Right
It is likely only one stupid, nosey, neighbour with no life complaining to their microgovernemnt of HOA. I do not know why people move into stupid places that have them. Why subject yourself to mroe government willingly?
tbh it looks like it fits right in - in a neutral way.
@@indridcold8433 A-MEN
This HOA are bullies. They are the ones that should just GO AWAY!!!
Nothing will make me pass up a house faster than finding out it's in a hoa.
I live in an HOA neighborhood, thing is I was here before the hoa was established, they didn't like the 3 project cars I've got, all run just look like shit but when they threatened me i went to the court house and asked about it, they said since i was here before the HOA and since I didn't sign my name into the HOA when they established I'm exempt, they keep trying to give me fines but they are powerless. I'd recommend to everyone to not buy a house with an HOA
I would tresspass the hoa and get no contact order against them then taunt them with any rule breaking you can think of.
I hope you always decorate your house for the wrong holidays.
Oh I leave my damn Christmas lights up now a days and I have a fake pumpkin for Halloween outside I also let my monte carlo sit in the front yard with no engine, fuck them
My sister and brother in law lives in one of those HOA your right it's a boring neighborhood and they bring there car's to be worked on at my home so my brother can fix it. We have many old classic car's 1940s-60s in my yard. I'm thinking one day the city will complain about it. It's a good thing all my neighbors are cool.
Nathan Webb you are Grand father in!
Key words “Body Damage”. I don’t see a single dent on that truck.
They never said anything about the paint in the paperwork.
@@Nimblebee-iy4nz true, but he will be grandfathered in so they, again, have no leg to stand on
I don’t see the HOA winning especially if the court has any sense of monetary value, sentimental value, and if they can see just how ridiculous the HOA is being
Love the truck an I'm a man born 1972 . This is B's I salute u sir.
How did "I wish we could do something about those noisy neighbors" turn into giving a bunch of do-nothing busybodies so much power over your most valuable asset.
the Heads of these HOA's never got love at home
*You buy a house to live in it, HOA isn't paying your bills.*
The HOA is one of your bills!! You actually pay them to do this to you! Let that sink in for a minute!
@@scrapcash2421 thsi must of been on your feed today too
@@scrapcash2421 let that sink in its probably cold out there
True they don’t give a F about your bills but they want they’re money
Then dont buy the house in an HOA neighborhood
HOAs better known as condo Nazis maybe we should start a GoFundMe page for this gentleman and let him really have it
Hitlers Of America
I’d donate to his go fund me
I’d donate
I would NEVER live in a HOA. NEVER!
HOA = Hotheads Overstepping Authority
The HOA rules say no body damage, not worn paint. They are reaching even under their own rules.
Those are the rules and that truck is an eye sore. I already have a neighbor who has a broken down truck and sitting on blocks for more than a year now.
It's so simple, don't buy into an HOA development if the contract and rules offend you. Of course this guy knew the truck could be frowned upon when he purchased it.
@@patricksaxon3983 people like you are the problem. his truck is parked on his property. the truck is in good working condition. learn to mind your own business.
@@patricksaxon3983 How is that an eye sore ? It's a fabulous looking vintage truck.
Your 2001 Honda Accord with a dented bumper and an oil leak is an eye sore.
IMNOTA I still would not allow that ugly old truck in my neighborhood, I would have it towed away.
That truck is gorgeous
Yes it is .
They're pissed it's a actual truck not a stupid crossover smh
Ford rocks!
Think I would clear coat it in its current condition.
That’s a very nice truck
The fact HOA's have so much power, to include liens and foreclosure, is ridiculous.
BTW, that truck is gorgeous, would love something like that someday.
This is exactly why I will NEVER buy a home that has an HOA. What is one persons opinion is different from many others. This truck is priceless to him, not damaged in the least and could argueabley sell for more money in it's current condition than with a new paint job,
There is NO Body Damage, there is worn paint, but the body looks PERFECT!
I'm a chevy guy and I'll even say that ford is mint
Agreed, he will win in court based off of this reasoning.
The body is damaged through oxidation. And he said it was the original paint not a new paint job painted to look old. HOA wins. Now if he puts a clear coat on or has proof he modified the body and paint to look that way then he wins.
Exactly!
@UC13hd_iFVP7cDzZfovE0e1g surface rust
Imagine paying for a mortgage and then getting told how to live in your home. Ridiculous.
I say the hell with that. They can kiss my...
The government does it all the time.
@@markflierl1624 not on this level
@@kova1577 I have to agree that HOA's take it a step above simply due to how local and ever-present it is. Precisely why I could not live within an HOA.
I can't park my car outside *my own house?* Wtf is that?
All landscaping and snow removal is covered by HOA fees.
You should have a old car truck get together. I like your truck your always welcome in my neighborhood.
This is an awesome truck....what s making the property values reduce is that no one will buy here due to the hoa
Imagine going overseas to defend freedoms to come home to this
He signed up to join the HOA you idiot
@@BigRed2 No idiot, only 80% of people have to agree to Nazi HOA. This homeowner could be that 20% who refused just like the Jews in Nazi Germany.
@@samanbalal824 i believe in order to live somewhere with an h.o.a its a stipulation to agree to their rules. I dont think they make up suggestions lol they're called rules for a reason. Which is why people have trouble with them, because they cannot pick and choose or refuse to obey the rules. Im not sure i follow your whole 80 percent logic. And why compare it to nazi Germany? I dont think its fair to compare something like an h.o.a to nazi germany.... Thats a bold statement and im sure alot of soldiers and civilians that went through that wouldnt agree with you.
The real terrorists are right here at home.
But he was already aware of the HOA, and he also knows the rules, as there is no acceptions to be made. Maybe some of his neghbors also fought in wars and they maybe one those also complaining. You have to follow the rules, no acception and I dough that he will win his case.
Seriously, the moment an HOA is mentioned, the house value should drop by half.
Certainly drops my offer by half.
As long as there are people stupid enough to accept HOA terms...they will flourish...if sales of homes with HOA goes down...things would change.
i literally hate people who are in homeowners associations. if i ever catch someone snooping around my yard, i raise a rifle after a fair warning for them to leave
condos and Apartments people own can be under an HOA it could reach trailer and RV courts one day now that is too far reaching
Truck looks beautiful sir!!
This is exactly why being part of an HOA was a deal breaker when I was house hunting.
The problem is that a lot of us have no choice. More than 80% of my city is HOA controlled, and unless you want to live the crappy areas of town, you're in an HOA.
@@SirFrag32 it's simple then, leave that city 🤣
@elaineisthatyou: 💯
I walked out on the salesman when he said HOA! He was begging, I was laughing.
HOA’s are another form of needless control
This is sad to see, especially because the truck seems to be mechanically sound too, and not too loud or smoking or anything. It's literally just a classic car in original condition with normal wear.
"Karen" doesn't like it so it has to go.
Mike Wolfe from American Pickers would love it!
@@StephenKershaw1 the big thing in question was the body damage and broken down part of the agreement, but there was no actual body damage and wasn't broken down. Going by the literal wording, the truck didn't qualify. But the court agreed, so he actually won, and your reply is irrelevant. You're not the court, and the court knows more than you do.
Whoever is dumb enough to pay an HOA to tell them what to do deserves this
@@StephenKershaw1 FUCK YOU STEPHEN KERSHAW!!
Never Ever buy a Condo or a home in an HOA
Me and a couple buddies were rearranging our garage at my stepdad's house and we rolled out his hot rod so we could move some stuff around in the garage and his HOA tried to pull the same kind of shit on us about a car with no hood All the complaints stopped when one of the HOA president's cars just so happened to miss a hood and wheels tires and windows and all sorts of stuff turned up missing on their car It was a major eyesore and very quickly they quit complaining about our hot rods sitting in the driveway and worried about their own things
First of all “Never live in a place that is controlled by a HOA”
Second of all “there is no second”.
I have never heard anything positive about living in an HOA "place",
therefore, it would be difficult to think of a reason, if asked, what good are they?
Green lawns? LOL
@@noface____ , your seeing all of those listings because no one wants them, be patient and keep searching for a good home free from an HOA
Says a user posting on a website controlled by Google and Alphabet....the 'ultimate' HOA.
People who aspire to be a part of an HOA tend to be shit people, who want power and control so they can spend everyone else's money on stupid things. School teachers are some of the worst HOA nazis out there, because they're used to feeling like they're always 'right,' due to lording over a bunch of powerless children.
Imagine buying a house and then an organization full of karens say that I can't put my decorative stone frog statue outside
Who the hell has a stone frog? Is it green? AND, you need to watch Kermit singing HURT on youtube. Not for the kiddies tho.
Oh I’m positive that’s not allowed... it’s all about control
What has happened to our country? That 65 Ford truck is my favorite truck of all time, it was built with pride, that is more truck than any in that HOA, just goes to show you that these people do not appreciate what America is really about, that truck has more character than any built today, how can it not be appreciated?
I don't understand why people even move into these places with HOA's. What's the draw, it's def not them?
@@tigergreg8 most of the time all of the agreements with hoa get shuffled in when you buy the house
Semper Fidelis Brother, kick that HOA ass!
That's why I don't live in an HOA, I'd rather move under a bridge!
Too many people that have no saying else where, try to be big shots in those associations.
