13. Hey, what's going on here?
that's the second time you've mentioned that!

Is our euphoric getting hitched with Elvis in Vegas? Have I asked too much?

2. Where I live, Codes Enforcement would write the home owner a citation
The home owner would be directed to remove the unregistered car from their property

3. Can't be RURAL freepers.
The car isn't up on cinder blocks and it doesn't look like this is the front yard.

6. OK what the fuck is wrong with me?
I like it.

Something about the rust and the vintage structure paired with the softness of the flowers. If I had an old, antique chassis laying around I might just consider landscaping around it. :shrug:

7. Ditto.. I like it.
I don't see the problem. I would be exited if my neighbors put things like that in their lawn. It would make it fun to walk down the street.

9. I like it too.
Good way to make use of what you have instead of it ending up in a landfill somewhere.

It's an intriguing antique, not a junker on blocks. Very creative. :thumbsup:

11. GenDem, I like it, too.

Yep, the red tones of the rust really set off the
colors of the flowers.

I'm not sure what the smaller pieces are, but
they set off the colors as well.

It's balanced, artistically.

:hi:

25. I do too
near where I grew up someone took a metal bed frame and put it on their front yard. It was the frame for a small flower garden.

on the side rail they painted "flower bed"

I like that one too.

True Freep landscaping would involved cut outs of little boys peeing in the weedy flower patch, faded flamingos, piston wind chimes, car tire swings, soda bottle mulch and for the center piece a pile of junk.

17. ha! that's what I'm gonna do to my hubbie's 2 junkers in my
yard!

btw, not all of us with dead vehicles in the yard are freepers. Some of us just don't have the money for a garage. :-)

19. Jeff Foxworthy does a very funny segment on his "Blue Collar TV" show, where people
send him pictures of their yards, and he shows one as the "Redneck Yard of the Week." They are atrocious and hilarious.

28. That's not freeper landscaping. My bro-in-law has freeper landscaping
I wish I had a picture, but I'll try to describe it.

He lives on a corner lot at a busy intersection. He had this big tree in his front yard that he wanted to get rid of. He cut it down to the point to where he had about a six foot tall stump. With the remaining stump, he carved the letters "USA" vertically down the stump, and then painted the "U" red, the "S" white, and the "A" blue.

It's a hideously ugly, over-the-top, monstrosity in his front yard. I just thank god I'm not a neighbor of his.
