Parking at home - Thoughts/comments needed

Guys..I appreciate all of the comments.
I just feel crappy that for 18months I had no grief until one day the cops showed up in the 'area' on an unrelated issue and gave me stink.

I think SHC is right on this though. I welcome a visit by the DOT if it came to that. I just passed my New Entry Audit 100%. Only the 5th perfect score for this Inspector.
I mentioned that to my Alderman. I run a clean operation and a beautiful rig. Not a spot of rust or junk on it and all my neighbors are cool.

So if he comes back and says "Sorry" - then I want to explore if it's really possible to give me a ticket or not. I dont want to pi$$ off the PD but I try to keep to myself and expect the same...

 

Hey man...I appreciate this tip. I will immediately look at that Thursday. All my neighbors are cool with me and I am very considerate of them
when I work on it. I wait until they are up before I start anything noisy....or start it up. I dont bring it home EACH weekend and almost never during the winter. I try not to be a pest...

Yea, it would be parked in my drive and perhaps you can see that there isn't a road after my home.
The pavement ENDS at the end of the driveway and all thats in this photo is a dirt road used by UPS and garbage companies as a 'cut through':

 

Thanks!
It didnt look that good when I bought it. Been a long restoration and I am still working on it as I go along.
She needs some glass work on the passenger front fender from where the prior owner met a deer. I got all of the other mess
cleaned up but that part. It doesnt look too bad to fix - just hasnt been high enough on my list. Nailing down all of the leaks was #1
as my driveway looked really bad and the wife was chasing after me with a rolling pin...

BTW that dam blue decal is now off that passenger tank. What a chore that was with a heat gun and 3hrs. I got a compliment from the last scale house I rolled through too.

See, its a decent looking rig that brings compliments. All was well for 18months until some cop had an attitude. I am still trying to figure out what his 'beef' is - usually cops have some dam axe to grind about something or someone. I have had cops waive to me when they turn around in end of the drive. Thats what my alderman can't figure out....why and why suddenly.

 

Seriously here??? Really??

Not even a close comparison.

I have a parking lot I pay for. Im only asking permission to bring the rig home to wrench on it as needed...not to skip out of paying for my parking space at the lot....I need to check the zoning reg's today.

 

Well here is the ordinance that pertains to this.
I do not have direct access to a class A highway but I am 1 block in from one.
After reading this, I am not so sure anymore about winning this argument....The way I read it, I should be allowed to bring it to my home on occaision and not make a habit of it....but.... maybe I just need to throw the towel in
