I can probably tell you what color cars are in my neighbors' driveways... But other than that, no.

I *was* very jealous that our one neighbor who only had one young baby had an immaculate car compared to our "well-loved" minivan interior... but as far as what model or make car she had, nope. It was white... That's all I've got.

Yes. I have known my neighbor since 1997. He bought a Mustang 5.0 because I had one.(so did his friends and we would go to the track on a regular basis). Some time afterwards, he bought a CTS-V after I bought my GTO(off to the track again). Like me,he has since gotten married and we both drive married guy type of DDs and rarely take the beasts out to the track. So sad.

So now it is now but for more than few years yes.

No one else has owned a performance car on my street so I do not care.

An old friend of mine owns a home free and clear, and has purchased 2 others as investments.....using cash money. She drives a 1991 Camaro with 200k miles

I used to live in a dumpy apartment $535 per month complex at one time, and this one guy had a brand new Cadillac Escalade on HUGE sparkly rims

go figure

The file for Non Op permits and their good to go.

This depends, my cousin next door neighbor keeps his late model corvette under a custom cover made specifically for the car. The cover fits that car a tee with the corvette logos on the front and back, it is made of a beautiful black stretch material and it looks really nice. It's not some generic cover that looks tacky.

There are a few E class cars, one S class, and two Bentleys, but older models, probably worth about 60-70k.
What's wrong with "POS" cars?

Yes, I'm aware. Some of neighbors have some beautiful cars I must say. Hard not to notice.
