Re: Worlds largest bug collection
I HATED that time of year when I lived in Miami. I used to go over to Naples/Sanibel frequently and driving on Alligator Alley I'd drive right through thousands of them. Someone told me to put Vaseline on the grill of my 'vehicle of the time'. It worked. All I had to do was just wipe off the tons of bugs once I got home.

Eyu!
Although it can be said that it is atrributed to the lack of aerodynamics: I believe it's because they wanted to bite him (hard! ). Dei attracts the six leggeds.

Seems you'd save more time if you just washed them off, as opposed to having to apply Vaseline, THEN having to wipe them off...

Nope. After you drive through them, killing them on your grill ..they bake on in the Florida sun. Near impossible to get them off washing the vehicle yourself. The Vaseline made it easy to wipe them off if it was on before the bugs hit.

Re: Worlds largest bug collection
My 1500psi pressure washer was able to get them all off. Took a long time though, but at least I got them before they baked for too long.

Dealers pressure washer didn't do jack in the morning but got most of the mud off
Remember to never leave love bugs on there too long, they will eat the paint

The dealer washed your truck?! I was on 95 when I figured at least a few muddy Hummers would be heading home on Sunday but everyone I saw was clean. I should've stayed overnight!
