Sorry Pete, here’s an around Anaheim…

That Mustang is more dirty than derelict. But the bird droppings are going to destroy the paint before long. The cars resting spot is deteriorating as fast as the cars!

Ouch! Before you know it, vegetation will be growing through the floorboards.

Neglect everywhere from the vehicles to the house. I am very blessed to have neighbors who all take pride in their homes.

@bob-jackman Agreed, Bob.  Doesn't there always seem to be one slob in every neighborhood? Of course, there is still the degree of slobiness (not a real word).  This property is taking it to the max.

@whodeytink We have some slobs too but fortunately they are several blocks away. I really believe many slobs don't realize they are slobs as it happens over time and they get used to seeing the neglect.

🤦‍♂️

I am surprised they are allowed to park on the sidewalk.  You cannot block pedestrian access, over here and believe me, the neighbors wouldn't be silent about it, plus you would get a visit from the local constabulary.

It is a ticket-able offense but someone has to complain so go figure.

@100ford2003    It's the same here, but Germans seem to thrive on pointing out someone else's shortcomings@.  At one time, while my 300TE was parked on the street (we live at the end of a small village, on a very quiet street) I put the custom cover on it to protect the finish and within two weeks the police came by to 'chat.'  They were very friendly about it and even suggested a cover that would allow the taillights to be exposed, to warn other cars that a car was parked there.  Yup.  That was the issue.  My 300TE (estate) with a cover wasn't large enough for them to see it, I guess.  But, my car was parked three cars from the corner and anyone coming around that corner at excessive speed would have had to demolish two other MBzs before they got to mine.  But, logic isn't part of any equation when it comes to Germany's rules & regs.  Sometimes, it's quite humorous.

EDIT:  @ I don't want anyone to think I am dumping on folks over here, for this information was provided to me by the US Consulate, when I was preparing to go abroad.

@gdh 

I chuckled to myself about halfway through reading. I envisioned all you described and saw myself as compliant by cutting taillight shaped holes in the car's cover.

@perrone1   That was part of the conversation, but I reminded them of the purpose of the cover, which is to protect the car and cutting holes in it is counterproductive.

Counterproductive and costly. I had two covers for Corvettes, and three covers, one each, for three different Mercedes-Benz's. They weren't cheap! I didn't keep these cars outside either. But since they weren't used on a daily basis, I kept them covered and dust-free, in the garages. Yeah, cutting them willy-nilly gave me a chuckle. 

@perrone1   We have a garage-space problem, which is why mine has spent the summer in our rented storage, awaiting the rebuilt electrics for my A/C unit.  Too many cars.  And, yes, when in a garage we cover our motors.

What a terrible problem - too many cars; HA! We seemed to always have four and for a little while, five, at one time. We finally got to the point where slimming back made more sense and we are down to just two and it feels right. We were just like you two - doing what ya gotta do!!
