Default Insects mating on my yellow 350z? lol

Came outside after breakfast to find my car covered in damn insects!! its them bugs that are near light bulbs at night. They attract to bright light. But never had it happen before. First time. Could be mating season? LOL!

My brothers S15 and friends EVO is right near it, but no insects on their cars!!!

I hosed their asses down with water!! but they came back with alot MORE!

Good to know that bugs like my 350z as a mating mattress! hahah

Must be the yellow bright colour and mating season!

anyone had this happen?

Maybe because the ozone is a bit thinner this end of the world, who knows. When I had my sunburst yellow S15, the thing was constantly a bug mortuary, worst of any car I've had. Even when you've just finished cleaning, bugs would land straight away. Joy.

It made be the wax but think about it, all bugs are attracted to bright colors and you can't get much brighter than the yellow Z. It turns them all into shagnasty bugs. i don't know what to suggest except for repainting your car. LOL.

I have a similar problem, but not as bad as you guys. I always find big *** spiders on my car and I think one managed to get inside when I left my door open for a couple minutes..I also found two lady bugs going at it on my door one time. Oh yeah I have a black Z.
