Default I HATE POLLEN!!

This pic is from less than 30 mins after I washed and dried the car :cry


I threw this pics in for 2 reasons...
#1 - Check out my fathers and my boat :D
#2 - In case your wondering what that power cord is there for, its going to the charger for my hybrid electric motor in the vette :troll Im hoping to break into the 11's with it

Besides making me sneeze all weekend it is a pain in the butt. Nice boat. Can I get a ride. I was at the beach this weekend and saw the Poker Run go by, Pretty awsome machinery out there. How did you wash the car legally. :lol: :lol:

I know the feeling. You spend all day washing your babies and then 15 minutes later they are yellow.

I have some to realization that my vette is not perfect and never will be. I don't sweat chips and dirt anymore. I even took it down a dirt road the other day which I would have not imaged ding when i bought it. Of course I drove about 5 mph. I bought my card to drive as much as possible and by doing so it will get chips and dirt all over it.

Is that the sticky pollen or could you use a California Duster to get it off? I use my duster a lot since i am too lazy to wash my car every week. Besides I hardly ever stop so no one can see if it has a little dirt on it or not. Plus I see dorks spending way too much time washing and waxing crap cars. Like spit shining a turd. :lol:


BTW Balck is TOUGH to keep clean. But you didn't need me to tell you that now did you?

I was in LBI and they went on to Atlantic City. Don't know where they started from but I heard it was a 50 mile run.
I have to get brave and wash mine soon

Not too worried about the pollen on the car, it is near killing me with my allergies. All I want to do is sleep especially when I take the supposed "no dose" reactine. Oh well in 3 weeks I will feel like going out again, :yesnod:
