something thats actually relevant to the title of my blog.

so I wake up today and find that there is a giant gross orange "WILL BE TOWED" sticker on my car and my immediate reaction is. "uhhh" (I was still wayyy groggy) anywho, the sticker says that my car license plates are about to expire (expire at the end of June) and my car will be towed this Saturday if I don't get that fixed. and guess who's threatening to tow my car? the Ashburn Village Homeowner's Association. now I'm pissed, what kind of legal rights to they have to tow my car because of plates that will expire 2-3 weeks after its tow date? luckily my mom had the stickers, she just never bothered to tell me. so I slap the stickers on no problem, I'm good to go.

so I email the Nazis (what I'll call the Homeowner's Association) and they reply with.

"We will check your car in the next 3-4 work days. If the plates are updated and that was the only problem you should be fine. If there were other problems such as no/outdated Loudoun or inspection stickers, then you are still subject to be towed."

1. 3-4 work days is not good enough, my car is going to be towed in 2-3 workdays.
2. so you're telling me that you guys are going to come back in 3-4 days to check if you guys could tow my car for other reasons.
3. "should be fine" means nothing to me.

so I shoot back an email to them saying if they could come back and check the legality of the car before tow date that would be great, and if they could notify me before they tow it of any other legal issues. and they reply with.

"No. You are required by the laws of Virginia to keep the county and inspection stickers current. It is your responsibility, not that of the Association, to insure your vehicle is legally compliant."

1. IF ITS NOT THE ASSOCIATION'S RESPONSIBILITY TO INSURE MY VEHICLE IS LEGALLY COMPLIANT WHY ARE YOU TOWING IT BECAUSE IT IS NOT LEGALLY COMPLIANT. AND EVEN IF MY CAR WASN'T LEGALLY COMPLIANT, SHOULDN'T THE STATE OF VIRGINIA THREATEN TO TOW MY CAR AND NOT YOU NAZIS?

2. they never answered the question of "will my car be towed even though it is legally compliant because you guys don't want to come and check it before the tow date"

...

I tell this story because it reminds me of another story. one of high-ranking Nazi officials happened to be in my AP Literature class back in high school. she told us a story about how her father made up a BS rule on the spot forbidding individuals to "display aquatic vehicles in plain view (aka the driveway" BECAUSE his neighbor had an expensive boat sitting in the driveway that made his expensive car look like he got it from the flea market.
