Default I'd like to express my sympathy to....

...those of us with dark colored cars during pollen season. I don't know what it's like elsewhere but here in GA....epic.

My poor baby (also my DD) lives outside right now. I need time to rent a dumpster to do a massive gutting of the crap in the garage and back room. I'll need a solid 5 days to do it ALL and do it right. Seems like theres always something else taking front burner. Two busy teens and all.

Pray for us with the dark cars and pollen...

We'll all get though this. Pollen '17 will not beat us.

I'll take the pollen any day over the hail and tornado season we have around here!

Great name, check out my signature picture... I have 2015 C7 Black Stingray and 2014 Black Jeep GC SRT... I posted a similar pollen post about a week ago. It is something terrible here in Central Florida this year. Nothing we can do except keep washing them. As someone else mentioned Black is a life style and not a color.

I have a black C7 and a black Wrangler. Close enough? I'm in NJ, so I have to wait for the remains of winter to finish before I can deal with pollen season. At least I kinda still like cleaning the car though. :-)

Black Rose here. Dust magnet. We have had a 10+ year rainy season in Cali so now we are also having 10+ year bug invasion. I live in a rural agricultural area and my GS is painted daily with entomological ectoplasm.

If it's any consolation to you, it isn't any better up here in New Hampshire in June. The pine pollen can waft through the air so much here, it looks like thick smog in the distance.

I'm having the same pollen issues down here in Texas. I park in a garage at work, but it's no match for the pollen. It's going to rain pretty bad tomorrow so I'll give it a good a wash in the weekend.

Mine has been covered for 3 weeks because of this stuff. Maybe another 2 weeks to go. I did plan vacation and a surgery this year so I wouldn't be driving it anyway.

Pollen has ben coming down heavy in VB the last few days. My black car stays in the garage with the doors closed. I drive my yellow (usually blue) truck while I patiently await for the pollen to subside.

DFW Metroplex got a good rain drenching for the most part, in the early morning hours. Clean, cool and crisp tonight. The front should be in Alabama by now. .
