At my parents house is a god awful cottonwood tree that shades their driveway. hence the reason my mother doesnt want it cut down. it is very large, I would guess over 80ft but every search tells me they don't get taller than 80ft. It has ruined every car my family has ever owned. any I have just about lost it over the sticky buds and limbs it drops. it has to die. the pods stick to shoes and get tracked into my house every time I visit it has ruined my carpet and once again after visiting i have to take a razor blade to my windshield to get the sh*t off. I have tried every "gunk and sap remover" known to man and nothing works. their dog gets covered in the stickies and gets them all over their furniture. The tree just has to die. Once it is dead it will still provied "some" shade until we finally decide that now that it is dead it can be cut down. I am finally at a crossroads of the tree or visiting my family.

I would park on the street, that tree should not be that close to the house.  A tree that size would have to be professionaly removed.  I don't know of any thing that would do that tree in except a saw.
