    couple months, but Cheryl started to have an unknown problem with my mom. Now Cheryl got home from work after my mom, like 30min after, and would hit my moms car with her car door while getting out. My mom told my dad this after a couple days and dad told my home he'll take care of it.

    My Dad had a jeep at the time, a '67 CJ5, it has a steel body. It didnt run, but dad was working on it on the weekends. When I came home from school the next day, the jeep was in my moms usual spot. For about a week Cheryl slammed her car door into

    Land lord serves parents with paper about it, and basically says move it within certain time frame or else. My dad decided he would take a day off work, and spend the day working on the jeep. Dad got it running to where he could drive it around the block. When Cheryl would get home, he would drive the jeep around the block and come home, probably about a 5min drive.

    Cheryl didn't like this and tried to complain to landlord again, but was told since the vehicle runs and is driven away from the property regularly there was nothing they could do. Dad did that drive everyday for 2 months till we got out of that house.

    schirmyver 14h ago This reminded me of an incident while I was in college. This is going to age me, but I was in college in the early 90s and I had a big old 2-door 1980 Buick Regal as my first car. It was a POS,

    but I loved it. Well one day I just happened to be looking out my dorm window down at the parking lot and I saw some kid in a much newer car park next to me and just swing his door open slamming into my passenger side.

    Granted my 10+ old car wasn't anything special, I was still I. So went down and opened my big, heavy passenger door, which had chrome guards on the edge of the door repeatedly with force. I left a big crease in his driver side door. I then moved my car and since I had those chrome guards, no damage to my door and no paint transfer either.

    Sharp_Coat3797 • 14h ago If Dad could put a license on it, it is not derelict. Because he drove it around the block it probably has a license plate and insurance so he can tell the landlord it's not derelict it just doesn't get driven often because it is a secondary or even a tertiary vehicle that is used only for special occasions. Cheryl can go stuff it

    ghostkittykat • 13h ago From the time I was 14-15, I wanted either a motorcycle or a CJ5, and in all honesty, I wanted both. I'm 47yo now, and a contributing factor as to why I'm still here is probably because I never acquired either.

    JaguarOk9693 • 16h ago If your dad was. Working on the Jeep. I don't see how the landlord could say it was abandoned. And I don't get why people will purposely try to dig up somebody's car with their car door when there's no reason for it
