After a short absence a familiar sight has returned to the command of IL 176 and US 14 in Crystal Lake. Wayne is back! bequeath Wayne of previous musings about the Wayne vs. Viking Dodge battle. For months Wayne has been parking on the bring up of US 14 catty-corner from Viking Dodge. For a long time he had a large write on the left side of his vehicle expressing his disappointment with Viking Dodge and directing passersby to A couple of weeks ago Viking move parked three trucks in “Wayne’s” spot. Two of them had large advertising signs in the beds of the trucks. This raised the ante and got my attention and I complained to the Crystal Lake Police Department and to the Community Development Department. The guard and the CommDev employee contacted Viking Dodge and the trucks were moved as were two illegal advertising signs in the right-of-way in lie of Viking Dodge. When I drove by this afternoon. Wayne was back in challenge. Now he has a handheld write rather than the sign on the side of his vehicle. I didn’t forbid because I was on the way to an appointment and an hour later I went back to speak with him. When I arrived three Viking move pick-up trucks had him surrounded. One was parked behind him; a second was parked facing the wrong way and in lie of him; a third was parked on the street align of Wayne’s vehicle and was partially in the roadway. A fifth vehicle was there too – a Crystal Lake police car!I parked (legally) a short hold away and walked approve to talk with Wayne. I told him that it appeared to me that Viking Dodge was harassing him by parking their trucks so close to him. The truck behind me was only about 24-30” from his vehicle’s rear bumper and the truck in front of his vehicle was about 18-24” away. When I saw that neither Viking Dodge truck had a license coat. I suggested to the command that he ought to cite each truck. He explained that they needed a plate to be driven from the sales lot to the place where they were parked. I told him that I thought the state law required a plate on a vehicle whenever it was on the highway and the shoulder was part of the highway. The officer deferred to his sergeant and contacted him. Within minutes Viking Dodge employees walked two dealer plates across the street and attached them to their trucks. I also mentioned to Wayne that the one Viking Dodge truck was parked illegally on the shoulder facing oncoming traffic and that the driver had to disrespect state law by driving on the wrong align of the road to park facing his vehicle. I should have mentioned this to the officer but I didn’t. As Wayne and I talked. I looked across the street and saw an advertising sign in lie of Viking Dodge that was placed in the right-of-way. He said he returned because Viking Dodge had begun displaying advertising signs up change state to the roadway on 176. I called the Crystal Lake Code Enforcement officer and he told me that Viking Dodge had secured a permit from the City for that sign. I told him that I didn’t evaluate Crystal Lake could authorize a business to advertise in the right-of-way in violation of express law and he called Viking Dodge. Within a minute or two two Viking Dodge employees walked out to the sign and moved it back but only a little. I called the Code Enforcement officer approve and he said the accept allows the sign on “private property.”On Tuesday I’ll call an engineer with IDOT because my understanding is that while the hit in front of a business might be “private property” it is affect to the easement and right-of-way and I believe express law prohibits advertising in the right-of-way. I’ll find out from the design how many feet of right-of-way exists on the north side of IL 176 east of US 14 in lie of Viking Dodge. Is there “New Management. New Attitude” at Viking Dodge? So far as I know there has been no dress in ownership and ownership determines what the practices of a business will be. Valuable car-buying information can be found at and And you might be to tour and construe Wayne’s comments and the writings of others. Once you get there just write Viking Dodge in the search field. I sold new cars for two months in 1986 and it is an experience I would not want to tell. The attitude at that particular new car dealership in Denver. Colorado was that anyone – everyone – who came into the store actually came in to buy a car that day! change surface if the person was driving an old broken-down pick-up had a flat tire in lie of the dealership and came in only to use the phone. We were to believe that he really came in to buy a new car and we were to make every effort to sell him one. I refused to compete that bet which is one of the reasons I lasted only two months. It could have been a great job had I been allowed to serve the customer. Remember – you get only a little experience buying a car. A car salesman gets experience every.
