Having likely bidded against you now and then for deuce parts on EBAY, let me say I loved your initial interview (TV) which elenwil was kind enough to post...... and I applaud your standing up to the township.... Cut me in for $20.00 against your lawyers bill, but I do think you're going to win this one legally.... and the Township will have to cover your legal expenses.....
If you want to drive your neighbors truely nuts, buy a caboose or locomotive..... oops, not allowed under the HOA, now I know why I lived in West Virginia and now Texas..... Too much space for the busybodies to keep an eye on... TOO many well armed Texans to resist such encroachments.... If you can get MEDLOG to start to trace your truck's history, depending on its age (like mine), it may have been in one or two wars, police operations, whatever, and you can now portray the truck as a veteran that should be respected....THAT will drive your detractor's absolutely NUTS!!!!! USE it in a coupla parades for the VFW/AL, Boyscouts, whatever, all it gets you is more supporters for a coupla bucks of diesel fuel..... We're not nuts, just crafty.......
Also, I looked over the Township's recreational vehicle ordinance posted above..... According to the wording as written.... IT DOESN'T APPLY....! The truck is a state registered highway vehicle with off road capabilities.... There is Insurance and Plates on the vehicle..... It passed inspection.... it operates..... and yes, here in Texas, my M35A2 is according to its title.....A 5 Ton Pick Up truck!!! Heck, yours has backup lights and convoy lights, way more then most M35's are equipped with...... I would start looking for motorhomes and other such RV's and keep track of them parked on the streets of the township..... I'm sure more people with more pain will back you up if they see their vehicles threatened also.....
I don't know if Pa. has it in its law, but many states allow suits against the initiator of spurious or frivolous suits and complaints, making them liable to monetary fines and losses.... When you win this case, after taking the township on and whupping them, I'd sicc the lawyer on the complaintant for costs, and suffering (mental, physical and any others your legal beagle can dig up......Tort is such fun.... You'll be out 33% of your win.... but the complaintant will be out a bit more.... Revenge is a meal best eaten cold...but it always tastes right proper......
I'm still betting you're going to toast em on this one....
Sincerely,
Kyle F. McGrogan
