The house doesn’t seem too bad, other than the gutters. Won’t know that either until the tree is gone.

This really doesn’t rise to the level of FML, more of a PITA
Ouch. Hope the insurance does right by you.

Not a whole lot of consolation but I just wanted to say that I like your house!

And I have trees like yours and yes one fell on my car once and insurance wrote it off. Difference was my car was 8 years old and had the slightest frame damage so I think that's what did it in. Your situation might be different given how new the truck is. Hope you have coverage to buy brand new not just replacement.

Btw - thoughts on the Ram so far? I'm thinking it might be my next truck come November.

Love the RAM. I talked to a lot of truck friends before I bought it. All of the former Ford owners had really bad experiences with their last F150 and switched to RAM. Chevy and GMC owners told me they don’t run to 100,000 miles any more without power train failures. That matches what I had seen with the GMC Yukon Denali XL. Only drawback is trucks have gotten really expensive.

Take a look at the Tacos. My little GMC Sonoma was the best ever, but 2 weeks into Taco ownership and I’m totally stoked

My brother has the taco and he likes it but I can't do it because he already has it.

I had a Tacoma back in the day. Was a Stepside PreRunner. Had a TRD supercharger put in. Was fun but was too fast for it’s own good. Totaled it.
