Yeah if you ever want to see a panic in a group of peoples eyes,put 120 imports in a dealership for a car show and then bring on snow for 4 hours.......we were all ready to goto 7-11 and empty the beer case and spend the night and have a huge party if it kept up.

We did have one car crashed the next day,on his way home,and mind you this was to be his last show of the year as he has Law School taking up a lot of his time,he hit a patch of ice and snow on the freeway and was in a 9 car pileup,every panel on the car has a dent,the axel is torn off,wheel smashed,but he is ok.

this week we have pouring rain for 7 solid days..........with cold and wind.....but next month I will be complaining about pollen too......lol

I'll start to get this in a few weeks. But as mentioned before, I'll take pollen over winter salt and crap any day.

i live in jacksonville so i know exactly what u mean... everyday after work my car is covered in leaves and looks green like aliens attacked it. i have been going to the spray it yourself car wash every couple of days to get through this weather. i really hate that part on each side of under where the windshield wipers are that just collects leaves in it and you cant get to it to get them out. it drives me crazy knowing how many leaves are just sitting inside my car and it prolly one day will start affecting my 0-60 times

We had some warm weather here in MD and I washed and waxed my car for about 4 hours or more. Parked it outside (Dumb move) over night and it was covered in pollen.

I hate it because it makes the car look dull after all that hard work.

You could just spray Roundup in a 50 mile radius of your hose and kill all of the trees and plants that have pollen. But I would suspect that it would be easier to wash the car.

What about using the Mr. Clean car wash thing to spray your car down with filtered water? It wouldn't get it all off but it might get enough off,
