You can take a picture of anything or even anyone provided you are on public land or your land and it’s not for nefarious purposes. You can even take a picture of someone inside their home, from your garden (but not theirs). What you need to consider is where you are standing when you take the picture. Common property, such as a driveway, is not public land but the pavement outside the driveway is. That said, taking a picture of a car when you are on common property isn’t going to upset anyone except the person whose car is blocking the way. And you could just ask your committee for permission to do so, just to be on the safe side.
