I hate living in the "city"... also known as "Sweet Revenge"

A long while back, I posted a thread on the rebuild for my 67 GMC. A little while later I posted one about the 72 chevy that I had bought as a parts truck but had decided to rebuild as well.

As an update, I decided to rebuild the 72 first, since the 67 was already running. I had the 72 tore down , had a lot of the smaler parts primed and ready to paint, and was starting the frame work. a few weeks ago, we get a letter in teh mail from the city. upon opening it, we find that it is a notice that we had to get rid of teh pictured vehicles, which included my 67, my 72, and my wifes 96 cutlass. now please note that of all three vehicles, the only one not running was the 72.
my wife refused to allow me to call the city, since I am VERY known for speaking my mind. instead she "negotiated" with teh guy to let us keep our vehicles that run!!!!

sNow for the revenge part...
long story short, because of a neighbor who simply can't mind his own business, I had to part with the better looking of my 2 trucks.

but, as they say, revenge is sweet. the neighbor was complaining because my project vehicle was an "eye-sore" and it was spoiling his view when he is outside tending to his garden. thats allright, I've got his number. I have been planning and saving so that I can build a garage. now, while planning, I tried to keep in mind that my garage could possibly block the sunlight that this neighbors garden needs. This resulted in me deciding to build my garage about 10-15 feet shorter than originally planned. while I could have really used the space, I was trying to do the "neighborly" thing and try to keep my garage from interferring in his hobbies, but to hell with that.
After I watched me project truck be towed away on another mans trailer, I immediately went to my back yard and re-planned my garage. with the neighbors interests no longer a concern, my garage will be about 10 feet wider and nearly 15-20 feet longer. this is basically my original plan, but as I said I had modified it to keep from blocking his sunlight.

so now my question. do ya'll think that I'm a jackass, or does this guy deserve it?
