That's one of the only reasons I hate warm months, the attack of the dead bugs that end up on your front bumpers and windshields. About every time I get home at the end of the day, I have to use bug and tar remover to remove about 5-10 dead bugs. Well, it's a part of life, but I guess you guys can relate to this.

Oh, but at least you can buy something to remove dead bugs, unlike like trying to hide rock and paint chips

Actually 5-10 doesn't seem like that many. I noticed in May after driving in the evenings I easily had 30 bugs on my front bumper, not to mention the windshield.

Good wax makes them come off much easier.

Yeah, 5-10 doesn't seem like much. I remember returning from the Palisades Parkway (where automobiles are the only source of light), and seeing hundreds which made it look like puke.

I live in northern Maine... any commute in the late afternoon to evening hours will make your car look like it needs a shave... a 5 o'clock bug shadow. Having a front license plate makes it 100 times worse! It acts as a bug plow.

:fingerfawk: Bugs suck!

Damn bugs always trying to mess up the bumper. Luckily, since we have a lot of seagulls where I am, the bugs usually get eaten first.

I wish I had 5 -10 !

With 30-35 celsius now hitting us more like 30 -40 is common.

and seagulls well.....no comment....we live near the sea so we have thousands

I'll take a pic next time I'm out.
