old lady? my mother? she doesn't have any say in the matter. nobody does, except the city. the license tabs expired yesterday. which means in a month they can mark it as an abandoned vehicle, at which point I'll have 2 weeks to do something or they'll impound it.

of course, the white one sat for a year and a half with expired tabs on it before I got a notice....
If it's anything like Texas' Junk car laws, if you can prove that it can start and move under it's own power, then too bad coppers. And plus the cops would have to try and tell if your tags are bad/junk vehicle by trespassing, so half the time if it just looks fine, they ignore it. I've had the CST10 in my driveway for two years with a year expired tag. If someone were to complain, from the street it looks like a running driving vehicle (which it sort of is).
