No PB Blaster in the house, but, I suppose I'll have to get some. The
latches were greased--a long time ago--with lithium grease.

Yup, the local code says "inoperable," so I'm trying to prove to them
that it is operable. If I can't, then they can fine me and charge court
costs and charge me for towing and disposal. And, yeah, it's got
current tags and insurance on it. It's been sitting for quite a while
with no one saying "boo!" about it, so I think the city's revenues are
down because of lockdowns and quasi-lockdowns, so this is their way of
generating revenue.
Cheers.
