The resident took to Reddit to share his plan in a post that gained over 12,000 votes in Subreddit "Malicious Compliance" in less than a day.

Though he said that homeowners associations "suck," he is one of the reported 73.9 million Americans living in HOAs, condominium communities or cooperatives. Such groups are seemingly on the rise, with ipropertymanagement reporting that over 80 percent of new homes sold in 2020 were a part of HOA communities.

He might be a part of it, but the Reddit user was far from a fan, especially after his latest run-in. "I got a letter from my HOA stating that the truck I had in my driveway had not been moved in two days and therefore was 'non-running' and in violation of their rules and I was being fined. Apparently this was my third strike since they had to send me previous warning letters because my grass wasn't green enough or had patches in it," he wrote.

"Now, this is a project truck, but it runs, is in perfect exterior condition and I work on/move it almost daily. I recently started a new job where I work a lot of overtime so I haven't had as much time to work on it. Hence the letter."

He said that in response, he decided to finish some modifications he had been putting off for a while, making it "loud as hell." He then parked outside the HOA president's home daily at 6 a.m. and started the engine to prove that it was "running" as per guidelines.
