Damn Trees!

Is anyone else finding it hard to keep their car clean? I Washed the windows not a day and a half ago and now their are covered with a fine layer of pollen. Along with the rest of the car. The pollen diminishes the shine so much.
So, yeah, anyone else feel like cutting down every tree, bush, and blade of grass within a 5 miles radius of your car?

Not that there are THAT many trees in southern california cities but still...

With pollen I try to get most of it off with a gas blower before I wipe or wash it off. Some pollen can leave microscratches when rubbed across the paint.

Pollen is crappy but live on a graveled dirt road and it becomes the least of your worries.

They just started resurfacing the main street just past my house. As i drive over it i'm wincing so much! i hear all of this clattering and pinging of little rocks hitting my poor camry. The construction speed limit is 35, but i'll be damned if i push it over 25 with all that loose gravel.

I love trees, but they work me to death trying to keep my cars/truck clean, so today I'm suppose to get 4 dropped, Fuckers haven't showed yet tho!.....4500 bucks....do I love my vehicles or what!


This is my neighbors tree, that hangs over my drive way...1/2 will be gone soon

This big tall sucker,probably dates before the Civil War!!

This one shows what I deal with...Billions of leaves in the fall too!

The tree pollen peaked here recently...I couldn't keep the truck clean for one day. It has gotten better but this is the time of year you just have to live with having a dirty truck...

This is the back yard...let the sunshine in!!

I'd have build a nice carport to cover the vehicles, not cut down all those trees. Won't you miss the shade??

I thought of that, but I have alot more, and the house really needs more sunshine, moisture is a problem! Still may have a carport done, but the big oak had to go anyways for that!.....Wife had the same Idea tho! Plus Hurricaine season is coming and these are really close the the house. We were lucky durning Isabel...don't want to push it.

Virginia lost over a million trees from Isabel, just none of mine!

I guess I hijacked this post...sorry! But the big Oak came down today and it wasn't pretty! The big tree gave me a payback!!

Here it lays...but look closer at the building!!

Ouch! Knocked a hunk outta my shed!..Damn it!

Ripped this up to, and some driveway with it!

You know, now that I look back, maybe a carport woulda been a better Idea! LOL!!
