Default Day 1 of the Pollen Onslaught

Well, it started today. A month of hell for someone who enjoys a clean truck. Or a clean anything really. The pollen down here from the pine trees is freaking crazy. You go outside and get sick in a few minutes, anything will be covered in it just by walking outside.
Do any of you have a trick to keeping a clean truck during this crap? I cant park inside (due to her car/corvette) so im stuck with it. This stuff looks like smoke when the wind blows.

My grandpa came over earlier...hes been here a little over an hour:

Got an oak tree by the house, does the same thing. Crap sits in the top of the door, open to get in, stuff falls all over seat. Sinus's have head pounding from the inside out.

I'm in Georgia, up at the farm for a couple of weeks. Land is surrounded by hundreds of acres of planted pine. My red truck now looks like a hot dog stand and I HAVE ALLERGIES!!!

chico is the same way, we have over like 200 species of trees in this city and i have major outdoor allergies, zyrtec keeps the sneezing away and my garage keeps the pollen and leaves away. id say just tough it out for a month b/c i have no clue how to keep that from sticking to your truck besides a car cover...
