Summer is around the corner. So is this. :)

Really looking forward to summer.
Not so much this.

I'll take bugs over road salt any day. Having said that, there have been reports in the news lately about a decline in the insect population in North America. One article I read cited a study in which, over the years, scientists drove a car down the same road over and over. As time went on they counted fewer and fewer dead bugs on the windshield of the car. That's a simple and brilliant way to count insect populations. Now, as more and more EV's get out on the road, maybe, just maybe, insects will make a comeback. Remember, fewer insects = fewer birds, and that's just the start of things.

Must be nice without bugs. That's my car year-round!

id get the mesh "radiator" inserts to keep bugs from getting to the heat pump condenser fins and get the front of that clear coated at least

All good advice. Car is over three years and a half years old now. The clear coat/vinyl coating ship has sailed. First I’ve heard of a radiator insert in that location though.

Imagine about 4x that amount so the bumper looks like a black shag carpet and having to clean them off thoroughly within 24 hours... or you lose your paint. And I'll say, "Welcome to Florida in May and September".

Totally agree! I hate pedestrians too! (I usually try to drive around them though).

I've found this to be the best.
