getting this back on track...I couldn't agree with you more. Several years back I moved into a so called luxory apt in corona.
The good: unlimited free parking. they told me initially-no prob to work on cars. then the first time I jacked up the car to change my shocks-I got yelled at to Iraq and back. So cal is like this. So Cal for the most part is a yuppy state. We no longer have cars older than 8 years or so old---unless it is the low poor class. Essentially no middle class anymore. You wanna work on a car-go to the ghetto neighbords. Unfortunetly the vast majority of these Yuppy cali's NEVER have worked on their own car, and have no clue where the lever is to pop the hood. I'm afraid your only salvation will be to move into a ghetto neighborhood apt, or buy a house...like I did.

As far as working on your car, I moved to Ventura in '85, and the apartment I was in had car ports, but I always parked my SS over by my apartment, in the same parking lot, but away from the car ports. It was in a very nice neighborhood, just south of the college. I did all kinds of work on my car there, from swapping the oil pan to swapping the cam. I just didn't make a big mess, and didn't have a bunch of friends hanging out making noise. I think that may have had something to do with it, I dunno. The condo I moved into a year later has a strict policy about working on vehicles in the parking lot, and I'm glad they do. Every condo has a 2 car garage, and you can build a top fuel funny car in there if you want to, but the parking lot is for parking. Honestly, I can't remember a single time when anyone had any trouble working on their vehicles where they live. I run a mobile repair business, and I set up shop all over the place, and never have any trouble either. Hell, the first Sprint Car driver I worked for used to push it off on his street, and drive it around the block for testing. Then again, he lives in Oxnard. Maybe it's an Orange County thing, I really don't know, but in the 25 years that I've lived in So Cal, from Van Nuys to Ventura, I've never had any trouble at all. Good luck. Take care, ~Chris
