Are you seriously that naive? They're not working for the county on commission, there, Jethro. And the county will pass the bill on to someone... You guys better get busy selling stuff so you can avoid the inevitable tax lien...


Well facts are that there are a variety of ways that these things can be arranged. In this particular case, it is the proceeds from the scrap metal that the county's agent T&J salvage seized that will pay the cleanup costs on the southern portion of the property.They signed an agreement to that affect.

We had started the cleanup on that side of the yard almost a year ago and we already had scrapped a large number of vehicles from that portion of the property. I would estimate somewhere in the neighborhood of 400 cars or more were crushed on the southern side before any of the most recent troubles began. We are cleaning up the balance of the property (the Northern half) ourselves with our own contractor.

If you remember, I told the story about the 180 cars that we staged on the vacant lot next to ours to make room for OUR crusher to come in right? Then someone representing themselves as code enforcement contacted our neighbor with threats of fines and the cost of cleanup. Scared the crap out of our neighbor, so he authorized the county agent to clean it up immediately. So the timeline on this particular portion of cleanup was ZERO, ZIP, NADA, No TIME and NO WARNING! It was "we have taken this, it is ours now!" A mis-use of governmental power to invoke FEAR in an innocent land owner for the PROFIT of the county's agent!

You think that was ethical and fair? It's the proceeds from the scrap metal that the county's agent was after. It almost worked, but in the end, after our attorney calmed our neighbor down and informed him of his rights as a property owner, he gave us the time we needed and we got our cars back. Those cars were crushed this afternoon by our contractor.

Wowie. Shocked Laughing

You really, seriously don't see the difference between licensed, tagged, and registered cars brought in for repair and acre after acre of long unlicensed, partially disassembled, rusting hulks, most of which will never run again and are only doubtfully even good as donors- if you'd ever sell them?



Well, I can see you don't really want to have a civil discussion and try to understand what I am trying to convey to you. You are more interested with trying to look clever to all of your buddies.

We are talking about two different issues here. I KNOW the difference between licensed, tagged, and registered cars brought in for repair and acre after acre of long unlicensed, partially disassembled, rusting hulks, most of which will never run again and are only doubtfully even good as donors.

What I was trying to point out to you is that the definition in which the county uses to determine this is not always 100% black and white. There is some gray area and my point was that this is why it is dangerous to allow the government to chip away at our indvidual freedoms. And especially to allow them the power to take away a persons personal property and destroy their livelihood in the name of code enforcement when it really all about PROFIT!

doesn't sound much like a livelihood....

My, aren't you the clever one. You really enjoy taking things out of context and twisting people's words around in an effort to impress your friends.

I did not come on here to have a debate over zoning laws. We have attorneys to handle things of that nature. My offer was to share some information about some of the events that have occurred since this situation began, explain what is going on with the yard and what the plans are for some of the vehicles, etc.

I read this comment from a guy on another site and personally, I liked what he had to say.

I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

So, is that why you keep insisting that all of the cars are part of a collection...


No. I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. There were all kinds of cars on the property. There were cars that were there for repairs, cars that were being completely restored for customers, cars for sale as daily drivers and project cars. There were also some of the cars that were part of Corky's private collection.

What I was trying to get across was that we were trying to liquidate parts cars and project cars. When all of this began, we needed to remove the customers cars and Corky's collection (cars that were not for sale) to get them out of the way of the scrapping efforts.

People who came to take part in the liquidation became confused when they saw these (not for sale) cars that were in a staging area to be removed from the property. They mistakenly thought those cars were the cars we were liquidating.

People who throw down the Constitution card and scream about their "rights" are the ones who fail to understand that living in a free society does not mean one does not have a civic responsibility.

It appears to have been successfully pointed out that the owner of the property in question did not comply with local zoning laws, did not communicate with neighbors, and did not seek any type of legal representation in a timely manner in order to bring the situation under control.

Bottom line: Stop blaming everyone else who understands the big picture for your shortcomings and failures.

one point of curiosity: when Corky found out that his lot wasn't going to be grandfathered in for the zoning of whatever was going on there, why weren't steps taken then to correct the issue and clean up the joint?

that sure would have saved a lot of BS and such by SB later on....


As I have stated before. Steps WERE taken to comply. We just were not able to meet the deadlines because the time period alotted was very aggressive and we were trying to do this in an organized and methodical manner while also running day to day operations, handling parts, service, repair, restorations, mail order sales, etc.

Several hundred cars were crushed and sold for scrap metal in at least two massive crushing sessions over the past year where they had mobile crushers come to the site. They then began disassembling the VW's in an effort to save the valuable parts and they had giant dumpsters brought onto the property and were filling the dumpsters with the scrap metal to be recycled.

We had also contacted a variety of other VW parts companies and import/export companies to see if we could wholesale bulk lots of parts for rebuilders, etc. We sold a fairly large number of cores to rebuilders over this time period as well. But time ran out... and we were hoping that they would see that progress was being made and they would work with us to allow more time for us to do the job. But unfortunately, that did not happen.

Well, then let's move to a different subject. We have beat this horse to death and obviously we do not see eye to eye on it. That's OK. I don't expect everyone to agree. Just saying their are differing views. Let's bury this and move on to more productive discussion. I have to get ready for work now, so I'll catch you later. Nice chatting with you.

I would like to see some pics and maybe a video from what is left over. Once you start to catalog and "sell" some of the left over stuff, please let us know. Hopefully they will not have charges "taxed" into them for all the cleanup that has been done. I would still love to come get some parts, but want to know how many items are left to sift through. And pics speak a THOUSAND words.

That said. I am puzzled about the way you're handling this. If this is really Zero Hour, and you really, truly, want to save the remaining cars, then why isn't there an accurate list of what's available? Why isn't everything clearly priced (You're still at the bullshit "make offer" stage, and it seems like we're past the point where we have time to play that game), and why on Earth is this the only ad you're running?

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/classifieds/detail.php?id=1231703

The ads are free for christsakes. Get off your ass, grab a camera, go take some photos, and do a dozen ads with photos and prices and details instead of sitting here in the forums whining about it. Show us you're serious about actually liquidating this stuff instead of having a pointless debate on an internet forum. In the time you've wasted here you could have had the whole inventory advertised in the classified section.

Until you do that, I think all this drama is just you asking the world to feel sorry for you.

whats stopping you from getting off your ass and getting some NEW pics?
A list of what you HAVE.
i'm not driving 800 miles for some vague bullshit of what you MIGHT have and what you MIGHT sell and for what you MIGHT ask for it.

Seems to me you squandered a profitable business opportunity.

The way your 'business' handled its stock it appears you were too lazy and ignorant to realize the opportunity you had.if you had approached a bank with a realistic business plan a loan could have been secured to begin compliance work,the county would have worked with you had you tried to comply..its in the countys interest that your business create tax revenue.

From the pictures you posted your business is a blight and a ecological hazard,perhaps in the interest of profit you helped some people restore some cars,but in the big picture you made us all look bad.

I don't think someone just wakes up one morning and says I feel like impersonating a code enforcement officer.

Seriously, I have almost 20 years experience within the auto industry and an MBA in relation to the auto industry. And there is nothing. NOTHING you have said that makes any sense yet.

Like I said before, all this reads like someone who's related to Corky, not an employee, that's trying to defend his honor more than anything and can't remove themselves from the situation to see it from the other side.

Seriously, if you know nothing about the situation, who's in charge of cleaning up what, who's getting paid for this or that, let alone the legality of what's going on. Just admit that you can't answer the questions and move on. All you're doing is digging yourself deeper and deeper.

Foxx,

Since you're one of the moderators on thesamba, I'm surprised at your post. Posts like that is what seemed to have gotten this thread locked a couple of times. Far be it for me to play thesamba etiquette patrol...just saying...you're pouring fuel on the fire.

i think i got this pretty simple:

vw junkyard sells vw's and parts to make living,

vw junkyard doesn't sell parts or cars for "reasonable" amounts, instead hoards parts and cars for "one day projects"

vw junkyard gets shutdown by "code enforcement"

vw junkyard doesn't have ads on vw website where vw's sell worldwide...local markets are SMALL

I would recommend taking 3-4 pics of each car and making individual ads, you literally never know when someone will send you the money for a car they want, and drive over 2000 miles to get it....

if you can't keep it, SELL it, duh

P.S. hopefully everyone remembers WILSON'S, that used to be my local yard, luckily WILSON'S was not notorious for not selling things, quite the opposite, everything was for sale!!!

and if you think you were the biggest VW yard ever, you're wrong

I would have to agree with you there. This has been a very unfriendly thread. Very disappointing

I would recommend taking 3-4 pics of each car and making individual ads, you literally never know when someone will send you the money for a car they want, and drive over 2000 miles to get it....

if you can't keep it, SELL it, duh

and if you think you were the biggest VW yard ever, you're wrong


Thanks for the recommendation. At the moment we are continuing to crush the junk cars, recycle the scrap and clear the debris. The cataloging, photographing of cars and advertising them for sale will be phase 2. We cannot do both. We have to wait until the dust settles, so please be patient. It will happen soon.

We never claimed to be the biggest VW yard EVER. Back in the day there were others bigger. Don't forget about Adams VW down in South Florida. They were pretty big back in the day as well. We were just mentioning that this yard was one of the biggest LEFT in the area.
