Unless something "comes up" (no pun intended, it just worked out that way), the PC will be de-flowered one week from today.

I contemplated pulling the SUV in the garage one evening this week for practice, but I don't think it's worthy of such an honor, as taking the virginity of a beautiful young thing.

Yeah basically he said anything between your PC & your paint is bad so I am throwing in the towel for a few weeks. The pollen wins

It's OK OG saved the day . I was just running out of time & getting a bit desperate for info.

Yea my siggy is an ad for a dinner I am having at my cabin at MOTD. But after May 6th (or MBE before) my old siggy will be making a smashing comeback

De-virginizing your PC on an SUV is like blowing your virginity on the extremly fat girl, just because you could

Me either !

Now, if you want to compare the PC's loss of virginity to my own, you'll have to find a car that is 14 years older than it, one that's highly experienced at the job, and willing to teach the PC a trick or two.

Pollen sucks I am going on a ride today but I took some pics this morning (that I will post later) showing all the pollen that accumulated on my car in 36 hours. Not 2 minutes after drying, I already had damn pollen specs all over my windows

Pollen is your friend. Not only does it allow every plant to reproduce but it gives me allergies and puffy eyes

Yep - same deal here - we're probably a couple of days behind you guys in the pine pollen cycle. But Blimey is well coated. At least he's garaged... but even that doesn't help much. At least I remembered to put the top up yesterday before it got REALLY bad...

Well at least I get to take a car-washing vacation next weekend. I mean there's just absolutely no point in washing when the Mini gets looking like you live on a dirt farm that quickly

I need a chain saw for my neighbors I cut down all my pine trees. That's their damn pollen getting on my Mini. Should I go & demand that they remove it at once

Yeah, I was going to wash the cars yesterday, but there's just no point....

Around here, you could cut down every pine tree within a mile of your house and it wouldn't matter much - the stuff is EVERYWHERE. Looks like we'll probably peak this coming week - at the worst point there will be a green smog-like haze outside. Luckily it only lasts a couple of weeks...

We are in the same boat here in Chattanooga, but a Cal Car Duster works great on pollen.
I did the whole detail cycle yesterday and them went out last night for about 4 hours. Covered with pollen.
This morning, pull out the duster and I'm clean as after the detail.

Yeah but it is so bad here I could dust & then be totally recovered in a few hours so I think I will throw in the towel & let the pollen win for a few weeks

Here's what is happening in British Columbia to get rid of the Pine trees. Shall I send you some beetles? Actually its really bad but I thought Bamatt may like it.

Pollen, pollen, pollen

I can totally relate, Im suffering through the same mess here in Atlanta. My neighborhood is nothing but pine trees. Apparently the developer thought it was more natural...well, his nature is getting on my car
