Does this apply to vehicles that are not licensed and registered? If so,
could you get around it by licensing and keeping up the registration?
Hopefully they don't require license, reg, and insurance.
Of course, there are many vehicles on the road in TN that have all three--and
still fit many people's definition of junk that ought to be hauled off.
Neighborhood covenants have one problem--they can be reinterpretted with
changing culture and people. As one of the first in my heavily wooded
neighborhood (that we paid extra for), we had no problems on our old
vehicles-->no yard wrecks allowed was really all it said; about 7 years later
and many neighbor changes, the definitions were reinterpretted towards the
more "modern" groomed neighborhood to mean "no non-running vehicles and no
project vehicles" and I think they're working towards no working on vehicles.
The same crew decided it was safer to cut down all the trees so now I'm one
of the few still with the "woods".
Fortunately I have a three car garage at my house and a brother that lives in
rural TN farm country though Nashville is fast encroaching on his land and
he's concerned about rezoning. I'll move someday when it's convenient to an
area zoned for agriculture.

This kind of thing is really annoying. It's one thing if people want to buy
in a planned community, where they know going in that the CC&Rs require you
to keep your driveway empty and your house painted the same color as
everyone else. If you limit your rights by contract, you can't gripe when
they hold you to it.
The problem is when a bunch of people, usually led by realtors, want to take
away the use of your property ex post facto. So that the sales comissions
will be higher. Over the last 20 years the Supreme Court has given some
support to property owners fighting new restrictions to property cvalues,
but those cases involved a lot more money than the value of an old truck or
two. Still, maybe the ACLU could tear themselves away from defending the
rights of Seattle anarchists long enough to help those on Spokane who
believe in recycling more than just tin cans.
