Graham, Chase, and Mathew from YouTube’s Progidy TV (@ProdigyTV) learned the hard way that an HOA can (and often is) a homeowner’s worst nightmare. They can attract people with the promise of continuously high property values, security, and uniformity—but they’re also notorious for dolling out fines and notices for otherwise ridiculous “offenses.”

Graham and his friends built a truly unique machine that his HOA apparently didn’t like. It had the front end of an old Mercedes, built on a Toyota Tacoma frame (complete with a bed), and it was fitted with lowrider suspension.

He felt like he was on his last legs with the HOA after being fined for parking his SUV on the grass. He didn’t disclose how much the fine was, but he showed the picture of his Chevy’s tire just touching the grass.

While the Mercedes-truck-lowrider was parked in the driveway one night, it was issued a notice for being “inoperable,” and demanded it be moved out of the subdivision.

He has plans to move, but not before getting petty revenge

First, his friend acknowledged the HOA likely assumed it was inoperable due to the lack of plates and registration tags.

However, Graham was annoyed that people had seen it move, drive, and its working lights several times.

“Everyone here has seen it operate before,” he told his viewers. “So, I’m not sure why the HOA is saying it’s inoperable.”

So, he got to work figuring out how he would get back at the HOA and the neighborhood that likely reported his creation to the board.

“I’m going to drive it up and down the street so everyone can see it operate one last time,” said Graham.

Post-cruise, he had two more cards up his sleeve

Thanks to his friends, he had some incredible footage of his Mercedes-truck-lowrider driving down the subdivision’s streets.

“Now you have to post [the video] to their official Facebook page and say, ‘Here you go, it’s operating just fine,'” his friend suggested.

So, that’s exactly what he did. He showed the camera the video clip and caption publishing to the official Facebook page for the HOA.

His final act was putting a license plate on the old car. It wasn’t just any old license plate, though. He paid extra to customize it to say, “F U HOA.”

“This is just to show the HOA how much we love and appreciate them, as well as their strict rules,” he said.
