One of the more irritating kooks we have here in Texas is the "abortion nut" and the "relgious kook", both of whom festoon their cars with bumperstickers of warnings of damnation for service to the Anti-Christ, they are the worst examples, but we also have the "save the whales nut" on the Left who festoons his VW microbus with stickers proclaiming planetary love. It is because of these kooks, who park these eyesores in our neighborhoods, and being the self-centered pricks that they are, always seem to park them where everyone can have it imposed on them, that we have these rules. My guess is this guy is one of these nuts, whose love of the Mighty Corp causes him to cover his car with Semper Fi graffitti to the point his neighbors, who probably all patriotically love the Mighty Corp, have found it to be an eyesore. If the guy doesn't like it, he is free to move to another neighborhood that has a homeowners agreement that allows kooks to fly their flags and cover their trucks with pictures of dead fetuses. Most of those are outside of town, just turn at the first trailer on your right.
Up here in New England we don't need them. We just do it with stares, being generaly very cold to outsiders, and very, very high property prices.

Still their is always one on the street, but I'd rather have that than a HOA.

Also hippies can't afford to live here, so they drive there whale sticker covered VW vans up to Vermont.
