Our new neighbor's yard is full of junk and cars that don't run?
Answers:
We had the same problem with a neighbor when i was growing up, we lived in a smaller town though. But they had a meeting on this guy and they created ordanaces over it in the long run, so he had to clean up everything, even though he said this junk laying around was for his business, it didnt matter.... so go talk to someone at town hall or send a letter to your mayor, most citys have laws stopping people that use their lawns for junk yards, it can a breeding ground for rats and other things.... there might just already be a law aginst him doing this, call the sherrifs department they would know if one exists, they would be the one to renforce it and would know where you would need to report it to (them or city hall or the health department)

Call the city hall for the housing ordinances maybe they have some rule on what you can have and maybe they'll turn it over to the police or something.

Just be greatful the junk isn't in your yard. You keep your yard clean. Let him keep his yard as he will.
Check local ordinances... it might be illegal for him to have such offensive displays (It is in a lot of towns). If so, go the legal route.
Otherwise, you might try to get a petition signed by your other neighbors or go to the city council and complain.
Chances are though, if you live in the Midwest (OH, KY, WV), you may be the minority and I would suggest just moving.
Good luck.
call the county on him and they will make him get his act together. and I wish you luck on this and you will need it.
The first thing I would do is contact your town/city/county and find out about zoning ordinances. Your neighbor may not be allowed to have all the junk in his yards. They should be able to help you out. If you don't get anywhere with that you may have to ask your local government to change the laws. It depends on how involved you want to get in this.
I agree with catsclaw. Take care of your own and leave him alone. What he is doing is not your business. Half of the problems in this country come from people meddling in the affairs of others when they haven't been asked to.
Of course it's his business - if only because it adversely affects property values. If the value of my home went down $10,000 because someone was a pack rat and didn't care about anybody else, I would definitely care!
Call the code enforcement department at the city or county offices.
Did you just buy the house? If so why did you buy it knowing that the cars were there?
I agree with tnroadwarrior and catsclaw just mind your own business and keep to yourself.....
