Well I’ll tell you that a whitetail will walk a mile out of his way to stop by a burr oak, and half that distance for a white oak when they have acorns on them.
Don't worry, Earl Schieb will paint your whole car for $39.95.....
The price has gone up.....

Thanks for the link are those the trees that produce the ginormous acorns like in the picture?.
That's them.
My in laws had a bur oak in their yard. Beautiful, strong tree.
It would have a crop of those big acorns about every other year. I planted a few here at the ranch, because I liked the tree, but I've not seen where any came up.
Really though, what does your 12 year old car book at?
I could care less Ed... what it means to me, is a decent reliable car, that doesn't look like some meth head trailer trash or some ghetto pimp owns it...
But then again, you've give me an idea....
cash it out and received a damaged title.. then put some 22 to 24 inch rims with spinners on it.. drill some holes in the muffler to make it some "mean" to a Puerto Rican, and and put it on Craigslist down in CA and ask $15 K for it.... and change my plates to a vanity plate BLM 001.....
Thanks for the perspective !

Ive been told that any Bur Oak ya come across in TN came here courtesy of a Native American some time ago.
As far as recierver hitches go, I got rear ended in my 2005 Tacoma. Adjuster tol me I was lucky, if I had a receiver hitch it would been totaled. Chinchy lil bumper it had was something like 1100 bucks . . . .

But I am sure you understand the business side of what insurance companies owe their investors, right?
sure and I also understand what they owe their customers who buy their insurance policies.. and neither one involves ripping their customer off.. I paid for a full cover policy with zero deductibles.. from a company who claims to be so great and for veterans and its just another insurance company like every one else,,pay out as little as possible.. the policy they sold you sure isn't as great when they have to pay out on it... they tell you "you need to understand.. " and start pulling out a magnifying glass and want to show you all sorts of fine print...
as I told them, I can get short sheeted anywhere, they're nothing special... how about a novel idea, work with a customer.. all they want to do is either total the vehicle or give it a salvage title, and then keep charging insurance rates like its pristine, yet it gets damaged again, they tell you your car is worth dirt, because they gave it a salvage title....
They are pissing on my feet and telling me its raining...and I spend over $6K a year with these people...yeah, call me unrealistic but I expect more than what I get from these clowns...for my money..

When they get like that, a simple letter from a lawyer usually frees up their checkbook pretty well.
Speaking of hail dents I have seen some incredible deals on hail s damaged vehicles at dealer lots. Imagine the claim when your whole inventory gets hail damaged.

Television and radio are most effective when people question little and think even less.
ya know letter from a lawyer or even the State Insurance Commission, seems to get their attention..
I did the latter route back in the 80s in Minnesota.. you mention the State Insurance Commission and they got real cooperative real quick...just needed some time to mull this over a little and get a clearer head..
in the long run its more about principal than the money, I could go out and replace the car today, if I could find an equivalent..
I don't do car payments, and haven't done so, since before 1990... yet i don't do new cars either. those are the ones that tend to get broken into and/or stolen.. especially here on the west coast..either chopped or end up in MuchoMexcano...
