Well they have to make a cutoff somewhere. They're not going to say something subjective like "no ugly cars" or "no cars older than 2005", but they will say "no more than 2 cars in the driveway" with the hopes that this will limit the number of junkers.

Big bucks or not, fuck them.

There are plenty of exclusive neighborhoods around me with Corolla's and Sentra's in the driveway.

No rich person I know is going to park the Bentley or Ferrari outside to uphold property values.

I wonder what the people who are for these super strict rules would say if their big budget HOA they already live in tried to say no motorcycles at all.
I know already. They just suck it up and deal. Sandestin does not allow motorcycles of ANY kind within their area, and we're talking miles of S/D. They make you park it at the entrance and shuttle your butt to a stop where you can walk home.

I have 3 motorcycles and a car, just for one person.

The fiddy is just for gap racing and being a hooligan, the drz is for dirt, and the cbr is for track/street. The car is just for commuting and store trips. Is this any less pathetic than a person wanting a nice car for sunday drives?

Hypocrisy at it's finest.

The GX is an incredibly stupid daily-driver.......If he never tows anything he should get rid of it and just use the Merc

A $40K+ car that only gets used once a week is a little different than an $8K race bike. At least with the bike it's an actual hobby that is part of your personal identity and goals. What is a church car accomplishing?

Let's say they sell that church car 2 years from now, they lose say $15K on its value......That same $15K could have gone into their kids college fund, or better yet it could have been spent on a nice vacation that would actually be remembered forever, unlike a church car.
