Kinda tree is that?

Round these parts the only type likely to go all out like that are the eucalyptus brought up and over
from Australia.

it's a maple, but I think it was so close to the driveway the roots didn't develop well.  it's great firewood, and I was just about out...so I get a good check from insurance and free firewood, and a newer van...it all works out.

So that's a Win-Win-Win? Hehehe

yup, and in looking around, there isn't another van close to it.  Ours had 66,000 miles, the ones we are finding have over 102k on them...so no comparison.
