transport windmill palm on top of SUV
Comments (8)thanks for all the replies. There is a lot of good info on this site. Jay and billn119, It would fit on the inside but my family and I are making a short vacation out of it. Thats one reason I didn't want to pull the trailor around for three days or leave it at the hotel. I just didn't want to worry about it. Jay, I am digging up the tree myself so the amount of soil I take is variable. A guy bought a house with a few trachys and doesn't want them. I'm taking the smallest of the four. I don't have the equipment to pull out the 13 ft palm :( Mike, I already plan on buying a BBB southern magnolia while I'm down there as well....See Morewhy would anyone choose an suv or truck?
Comments (99)Janengland~I see that you are converting a bus into a motorhome. How is that on gas consumption? Everybody contributes to the environment, in one way or another. It's just to different degrees.I mean, who here walks to work each day or rides the bus? To answer the original question "why a truck or SUV?"~~ That's like asking why do you have a 4 bedroom house instead of one bedroom? Why do you have an inground pool instead of an above ground one? Why do you have 4 children instead of one? It all depends upon your lifestyle, needs and wants. That's life and life is meant to be enjoyed. I agree with Gary~everybody needs to chill and enjoy life as best they can. In the meantime, I will continue to drive (and enjoy) my BMW Z3 and my new Lexus RX330 when I get it....See MoreGood time to buy a used SUV
Comments (4)And she's gonna get about 18 MPG with it on the highway. That ain't bad! My Expedition gets 20. And my Dakota gets 15! So guess what I drive?? The EVIL vehicle!! Yes there are the busybodies that want to dictate who can do what but the free marketplace is working. The values of the large vehicles are falling and there are plenty of bargains out there today. I hope she gets many years of enjoyment out of her truck. And who cares what other busybodies think!...See MoreHelp in choosing a large SUV
Comments (54)RE: Help in choosing a large SUV Posted by: beaglebuddy (My Page) on Mon, Mar 13, 06 at 21:59 Could an attorney please step in and explain this to johndeere ? If the person hit is injurded and is in the Hospital for a long period of time and has surgery and then needs Thearapy.Has to take medication for the rest of his life.Then his pain and suffering and lost wages and can not pay his bills.Who do you think pays?Just because your insurance pays $10.000 per victim medical and you have say a $600.000 Liabilty.Does not mean your off the hook.Just because that is all they will pay.Because chances are that will not cover it. If the victim dies.Your not going to get off cheaper.Because a funeral is cheaper then if they lived and had huge medical bills.Say the victim is 40 years old and made $50.000 per year.The family would recieve a minimum of $50.000 x until his kids are grown.Not counting pain and suffering. Insurance Co.Cover there rearend and will only pay so much.You pay the remainder and that very well could be the larger portion. Could a Dr. please step in and explain this to beaglbuddy?...See MoreAlisande
