My old house (sold in April!) had the crazies HOA. There was a rule about not having boats or trailers unless they were inside the garage which had to remain closed overnight.

Days before races I would bring my enclosed trailer and park it on my backyard. The fences and hedges were higher than the top of the trailer.

I would still get penalties ($50/day). I confronted my neighbor (snitch) about it and after that they would fly a drone taking pics of everyone's backyards. Funny since I had to put up with his blasting music Fridays to Sundays.

My favorite penalty letter "your mailbox is dirty". WTF, they were referring to the bottom where the line trimmer would scrape some of the paint.

Where I am now I spent 4 years between permitting and HOA approval of my drawings. One of the main issues was the ratio of garage to residential space and, I was forced to sign a notarized document that would not be doing oil changes for profit....

It was awesome when Hurricane Irma came by and various neighbors came knocking asking to store their cars inside my "excessive garage space". Sorry........
