Thats a nice looking trailer.

sounds like you need to start greasing some palms

That has already started.

Situation occured where one neighbor parking his RV now got another neighbors attorney involved int he board to correct it. Well I am on the board. Going to use this situation to feel out the whole neighborhood and based on my findings propose a solution. Have to make sure I give options and that the option that suits me the most wins. Going to be interesting over the next few months.

I will add that being able to park a beast of a trailer like that in my yard would definitely add to my enjoyment of living here. There is a way right now, but it involves a bobcat and some landscaping expense to "hide" it from the street.

[///M5 2,833]

Currently there is NO penalty for having a trailer, but if the neighborhood gets up in arms they will add one. Strategically discussing how best to deal with these sorts of situations paves the path for what I need. I know for sure out of the 26 houses that I already have the support of more than 5. For the bylaws to be amended and a different read to be put on things they need 75%. In my case I just need 25% to fight off the rest.

I'd rather do it the other way though and come to a logical agreement of why things are as they are. To me having a snow trailer in my yard that moves every week is not storage and no different than parking a car. To some of them it is a fucking trailer.

Right now my trailer is fucking ugly though too. Has to be to fit in my garage...

Wait.  You could get that trailer up your driveway?  

 

 

I'm a little skeptical that it can go up without dragging the ass end and getting stuck.

EASILY.

I get the Malibu up and it is lower. Even goes up the steep side so I don't have to do a 30 point turn to point it back down.

Here from the rear you can see how low it is.

[///M5 2,833]

Interesting with a long wheelbase truck and a big trailer.

Tongue to end of swim platform that thing is 33' long. My neighbors laugh when I tear up the driveway at 30mph so I can make it up the hill

[///M5 2,833]

You can see the prop protector is just a little lower than the back of the sled trailer. About the same length back and nearly the same length overall.

[topgun 262]

I'm surprised.  I remember that driveway being steeper than that.

Just do that at the next HOA meeting. Sean does what he wants.

Didn't wanna quote the pics- But The Boat pics....that sure doesn't 'look' like a HOA neighborhood from my area with the wooded area right there.  Most HOA area's round here are subdivisions with houses stacked in them.  I could never live in a HOA hood...I would have to sell all my toys- cuz they are ALWAYS broke and sitting for months until I regain interest.

 

BTW- LOVE the trailer!  I want an enclosed trailer to put my T/A in, as I don't have a garage...

Never met a NX kit I didn't like. 

 

Ran a basic Edelbrock kit back when I first bought the T/A, then switch to a NX kit(mainly for safety features), it was MUCH nicer quality equipment, but it cost double- so it shoulda been nicer.LOL.  Once I had the 383 build, never put the bottle back in it, due to I couldn't get it to hook the power it had already.  Now that I have a Fab 9 rear and actual drag setup to hook it- I broke the T-56 last May- been disgusted with it ever since.  If/when I fix the Trans- planning to slap at 200 shot in it and see how deep in the 10's she'll run.

I've never ran an nx system. We has a 500 shot zex system on our shop vette many years ago. Direct port full stand alone, dedicated fuel system, the whole 9 yards. Safest and trouble free system I've ever seen.

For this I was just going to run a 100 shot in the new truck for fun.

Probably not going to spray on my SS.

 

 

 

Sweet- you mention shop vette, where do you work?  I will have to run a stand alone fuel system to run my 200 shot...11.8:1 compression.  Will run 100 octane just to be safe,  My car will not run on anything less than 93 now.  But it is small potatoes to what you have dealt with.

I used to co-own a shop back in Oregon. Our shop toys were a 454 ls2 zo6 making 670 on motor. Nitrous, minitub and drs. Bested a 9.07.

Also had a 99 gts/ACR. Forged 540 ci, ROE super charger, meth kit. Also tubed on DRs. Bested a 10.10.

Had lots of toys in my short time.

Now I have a house and family. Wifes not too keen on racing and having 2 kids.

[stevemead08 752]

Also when I say a 454 ls. This before the crate engines were available. Back in about 05. The gen 4 motors were still a new thing. Shirl Dicky down in AZ build it for us.

The vette plate read VPR ETR.

Nothing like walking outside and seeing water spurting from the sidewalk in front of the neighbor's house. Hoping its just a water line, but considering I still have great pressure I am still concerned.

Backtracking to the bitch who said she won't have a coffee with me because she doesn't like my car and I couldn't care less

I invited her for a ride topless and she ended up saying used cars are shitty. It felt so good saying my car has had less owners than she had. If she replies after this slap, she's either stupid, or desperate. It was fun to "chat" with her nonetheless. She can't swallow the fact that I don't kiss her ass.

Holy shit, there's an autocross-like competition this weekend. Together with a sound competition. Damn, damn, which one to go to? I'm not at all familiar with the limits of the Miata, at least not like I know the Jeep (when it breaks traction, how easy it is to control etc).
