Don't they offer courses in driveway feng shui? If the cars parked in the driveway joined together to form a cohesive and harmonious arrangement, I suspect it would assuage the fear and loathing in your neighbors, not to mention the well-paid public servants whose aesthetic sensibilities you have so heinously offended.

get it off the landscape
it was!
phase 1 complete, i pressure washed the crap out of it, it was like the car was new orleans, i was katrina, lots of confused now homeless spiders....
phase 2 is the pressure wash with soap phase, it'll look new underneath, paint is ***** though. its even got some sort of growth on the OUTSIDE of the glass...
phase 3 involves working brakes, fluid comes out of the master almost as fast as you put it in.
phase 4 is the custom 5x100 to 5x114 adaptor to get my volks to fit
phase 5 is just to drive i think, although its got weird problems like the throttle sticking, coolant temp gauge doesnt work etc

small update; so there is water on the floor behind the drivers seat, and judging by the broken b-pillar trim on that side, id say someone f-ed it up at the dealership. i think its been like that for a while, the warning light cluster is all corroded, and so is the gauge cluster
