Hi Milveh friends,
I was just ticket for parking a commercial vehicle (my 2 1/2 ton 6x6) in a
residencial neighborhood (in front of my house). The vehicle has antique
plates and has no commercial markings, is not used in any commercial way, is
totally original to military specs.
If I can't park it, I gota sell it, and, I kinda like it!
Anybody have this happen? Any ideas on fighting the ticket?

Also, I had hoped to engage the assistance and experience of MVPA, however,
after reading of their weak leadership, obviously I can't turn to them for
assistance.
I encourage everyone to read the following message I sent to MVPA, and if
you understand the ramifications of appeasement, do as I did.
Thank you,
David

Letter to MVPA
Hello Ladies and Gentelman of MVPA,
I read in my last edition of Supply Line, you are dropping 151's and
HMMWV's from judging as a result of your fear. Understand, I do not own a
HMMWV or 151, I own a 2 1/2 ton 6x6, none-the-less; if I stand by out of
fear or complancy, I will have violated the spirit these vehicles we own and
love represent.

You have violated the bond that provides the very freedom enabling us to own
these vehicles. Be it fear of the feds or political correctness, it doesn't
matter.
If you do not explain your error, and reinstate the 151 and HMMWV's in the
next issue, drop your heads in shame, and my membership, forever.
