I was told last week by a neighbor (during a conversations about excess
cars parked on the street by another neighbor) that there's a local
ordinance (Gwinnett County, GA -- NE Atlanta) against having cars
parked in your yard versus your driveway!  It sounded as though this
was more than the typical "no clunkers" law. I'm sure its target is to
make sure you don't own more cars than you own driveway space, but the
implications were that you could get a "ticket" for parking in the
yard like I do when I clear a path out of the garage for the TR-6.

Oh well, maybe one day there'll be a big farm in the country with
my name on it...
