    4 into 1 into 4

    For the record: I have the greatest respect for all the builders
    But need to do what need to do
    Anyhoo
    Love my roadster. Love that every time it leaves the garage an emergency meeting of the old biddies of the HOA board is called.
    Yo, get over it.

    I know all about those HOA meetings, those people need to get some therapy! Just park it in the driveway running, pull up a chair and just look and listen to it.....

    My HOA board of directors all want a ride in my car, and the neighbors, too.

    Sounds like an opportunity for a meet up and BBQ?

    I am really sorry to hear you have to deal with this! I think some of the ideas posted by others are good ones.

    Curious though, are you really doing anything against the HOA rules just by driving through the neighborhood? I can see if you were continuously running the thing at WOT all hours of the day and night, you might warrant a gentle reminder. However, starting her up, and heading out to do whatever you like to do and returning hardly seem like a nuisance.

    I hope you are able to find a reasonable resolution so you can continue to enjoy your ride hassle free!

    Regards,

    Steve

    David,

    That's exactly what I'm trying to do (get on the board) but for another reason (think "cable cutters"). Every one around me loves the car, some want rides, others have endless questions. Our local city ordinance doesn't allow any loud noises before 07:00 am so I start in the garage and coast to the front gate (luckily, it's down hill) . . . no complaints in 4 years.

    If I really need to leave earlier than 7 am, I bump start it at the gate . . . issue circumvented.

    I have no experience with HOAs... My sugestion would be to try and do favors or help the ladys with a project or sutch!

    They may not mind their helpfull friend make some noise compared to that guy down the road???
