    I've never been in a craft store. I'll google it and see if there is one around here. Thanks

    Yeah...I've got massive amounts of acorns also, but luckily my driveway is way from the debris field. I've got enough acorns in my yard to feed ethiopia. They make a hell of a racket when hitting the pavement, they're really annoying.

    George3 - If parking somewhere else is 'out of the question' - I'd definately look into some sort of carport for a more permanent protection year after year. Unless you cut the tree down, that thing is gonna be spitting acorns at you as long as you live there. Got any friends who are carpenters? Build a wooden carport with 4-6 posts & a roof. Get a vinyl carport thing - although, they might be dangerous in a wind storm.

    When I read your post my first thought was the uber left wing activist group acorn was taking potshots at your right wing conservative Rush Limbaugh edition truck.....

    Don't be silly. Those are the illegal alien pimps! ACORN related damage includes the purchase of a government backed, high risk mortgage and fraudulent tax returns so that the working girls have a shelter to provide their services!

    We've got a tree that drops them on our roof. It's hella-annoying for a few months out of the year, but at least it's not doing any damage. Good luck w/ the problem.

    Dry ice can be purchased at most major grocery stores. I tried it on some hail damage with no success...even tried the air cans used to clean off keyboards. If the damage is bad enough you might be able to go through your insurance company and have it fixed at one of the shops that do paint-less dent repair.
    It's kinda funny looking back at some of the commercials about how indestructible our trucks are, but in the end they forgot to factor in the power of the acorn!:eek:
