Have you tried selling your squashed bugs on ebay? I have been making BIG $... i sold a squashed moth the other day that resembled Mother Teresa for $400, a big squashed beetle that was a spitting image of Tupac for $300, and finally, a lady bug that looked just like the "Little Mermaid" for $1,000... If you keep an entreprenuerial spirit about you, the possibilities are endless....

 

i know what you mean...my car looked two tone when i used to park outside

 

i've just been hitting girls trying to dive in my car as i fly by...you think YOUR windshield is f'd????

 

I remember that...

 

I'm in san diego...weather is great...there are bugs here and there. But worse than bugs is pollen in the spring time. It was bad this past march. Your car gets covered with this yellow dust. if you dust it off right away its fine, but if you let it sit for a couple of days it gets sticky, then you're gonna have to wash it. However, the next day, same crap. Pollen sucks. My cs z looked like it had a gold pearl this march.

 

Easy fix. Get a crew of pet lizards perma-installed on your lip and bumper. Bugs b gone...

 

I know I will get ripped for this but here goes. Some have called the leather bra gay on the Z, but I am thinking of getting one for love bug season. At least it's cheaper than an invisa-bra. I don't have to have it on all the time and it will keep my Z's front end from looking like my Titan's front end. I would like to keep the Z looking good for a long time and the leather bra seems like a good protective middle ground. I am almost at the point of having the Titan's front (painted parts around the fog lights) repainted.

Edit, corrected spelling

 

^will look gey but as long as its only for "bug season" i think thats actually a smart idea for those who don't have another daily driver

 

Hmm I was thinking about a bra as well for the bug seasons, but i just got my Vertex Body Kit in. So when it's done being painted and i throw it on i'll have to see if a bra looks ok and can even be put on with the lip.

But worse than bugs as of today has been the damn POLLEN!!!!
My Black car is now Green.

 

Hmm I'm in Dallas and I don't really see this problem and I thought we had a horrid bug problem :-/ Our mosquito's resemble pigeons imho lol

 

No kidding man. I washed my car yesterday and put it away so I could wax it today and within an hour of it sitting outside it was already covered in pollen from our oak trees. So I washed it again.

The bugs **** me off a lot. I live by a lot of feilds and it gets really bad a night. In the summer I just keep a bottle of detailer and a rag in the car.

 

I like all the bugs on mine, it hides all the chips.

No not really driving thru the Sacramento valley in the summer sucks bad.

 

lol i remember those days

 

Keep your car perfectly detailed using a nice, slick wax. Then cleaning bugs off with a QD after a drive will take mere seconds. Clean cars require effort no matter the weather.

 

YEs the bra is gay!!!And the invisble bra is cheap on invisiblemask.com I paid like 260 for the front bumper, half the hood, the side view mirrors and the front tips of the fenders. And as far as having it on all the time, who cares? Its invisible, you can't even see it. 3M makes a quality product Go with the clear bra, you wont be disappointed

 

the worst thing about driving in nice weather is people staring and trying to race all the d*mn time, oh yeah, and the bugs!

 

ehh i dont even race anymore. At 27 i grew out of it. Plus all the damn tickets i've gotten over the years. when someone rolls up near me and wants to race i pretend i am and i just go slow. So far twice on rt 18 in the East Brunswick area 2 morons didn't notice the cop behind us. Do i need to continue? he he he.

 

Also when you hit unavoidable puddles / the sprinkler system sprays on your car. I live in Dallas also, and everytime I hit the highway I'll get bug splatters too. It sucks.

 

ahh remember that thing a a post or 2 back i said about racing? Well i went back on my word and just now had to show up someone in a white Mazda 3 tinted out. Not a bad driver following my lines till we hit where rt 19 meets rt 1 in EB NJ. Cannot OUT HANDLE THE ZETA!!!!!!!!!!
just had to share
Im sorry I'll never do it again! haha

 

Holy ****. This weekend the bugs were crazy in Houston. There was some light rain Saturday morning that must have driven them out of hiding because my beater was COVERED in love bugs. My bumper was speckled with black carcasses, and my hood / windshield was filled with yellow, goey mass.

The Z did not leave the garage this weekend.
