Rob, I understand why you want to do this, and I can agree with the
principle. The problem is this: I don't have a garage. Does that mean
that I can't be an MVPA member? My M416 must sit outside, but so must my
Pickup and my wife's (very nice) car. So must my two antique John Deere
tractors. I just can't afford a garage right now.
Sure, I can toss a tarp over the trailer (in fact, I have), but that tarp is
not much real protection, all things considered. So, maybe I should sell my
MV (sorta) in order to belong to a MV Preservation Association? Seems a tad
backward to me.
I, personally, would never trash an MV. God knows, if I ever get what I
want, I have no intention of butchering it. But, before we alienate too
many members of the hobby, policies like this need close scrutiny.
