So you just passed right by me.

I work off exit 142 which is the 3rd exit from hwy 231 off I-10.

PM me and I'll send you my number if you want to drop by.

I can see the interstate from my front window.

Oh, they're devil bugs. There's about 5 of them hovering around my front clip mourning the loss of their fellow community members.

I used to drive from Sebring down to Ft.Lauderdale alot and I couldn't stand them. I was told by a co worker that spraying the bumper with Pam or Pledge before long road trips would keep most of them off then wash down the car when you arrive to your destination. I tried it using Pam and it worked Great and my paint still looks the same as always.

I got a car bra to use for this love bug season (since the clear bra didn't do so good in the last infestation), but I'm a little hesitant to put it on yet because I'm not sure the rainy season is over yet... I don't want to have to take the car bra off every time it rains!

Thanks.. I've been thinking about leaving it on for the whole season but Ryan (intrigue98) told me somebody used pam cooking spray on the front bumper and they come off like butter. That will be my technique this season..
