OMG!! There is way too much tree sex going on in Atlanta! It has quieted down quite a bit out here.. at least for now....

Your pollen peak is ahead of me by a week or so. I'll be facing the same thing!

Does anyone have any idea what is the best position to set the A/C controls so the filter doesn't get clogged by the pollen and needs to be replaced.

Will using the "closed" (where it doesn't allow fresh air to come in) be the best method? It seems as though it would, otherwise you'd have contaminated (with pollen) air going thru the filter and clogging it.

Any ideas?

Geez blu - that looks like my car. Theres several clouds floating up here too. And Bob - the "closed" setting should be best, cause Ive driven in dust/dirt clouds (road construction) and the "closed" setting doesnt let the dust in, or the smell rather.

Thanks Jon, that makes sense. When the pollen here starts flying, which will be soon, I'll put it on the "closed" setting. I won't have to change the filter as often plus I won't have all that pollen get inside my car.

Get a Dakar Yellow car, hides pollen very well, LOL. All you have to do is keep the glass clean.;)

Dakar...of course.

No no, the trick is to keep your windows as dirty or pollen-covered as possible, that way theyre tinted ;) . The tints even biodegradable and washable if the cops stop you.

The pollen here in Clemson is horrible. I've washed my car twice in two days. It's everywhere!
I don't remember FL being this bad...I guess you trade the salt air for this. Oh well:rolleyes:

I'll take pollen over mud and snow in a heartbeat - I speant the weekend skiing and my car looks like it!

[E36 Fanatic]

Yeah man - nice pic! haha
I was in a car show at Charlotte (uh, Lowe's) Speedway last weekend and had to wipe the damn thing down every hour! I should open a car wash for the spring only!
Oh well - it's almost over...

I have pollen here just as bad as blubimmer now! I was about a week behind you in time.

I'll be driving another car until it goes away and keep the M3 all nice and clean in the garage!
