Drove my FR-S today, did not crash... - Page 82 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Drove an hour outside of the city and back to drop my father off to pick up his 335i.

I didn't crash, all though 500 bugs smashed into the front end of my car. I must have hit the perfect storm of bugs on the drive home.

I drove my FR-S up to the "taco bus" last evening. Yes, it's a bus, with picnic tables outside.

I went to back in ...... and all the people at the tables scattered ...... I reckon they didn't like the sound or smell of my exhaust .....

Such a pretty little señorita that works there ........

I ordered a plate for mrs humfrz and a plate of "hot & spicy" shrimp for myself ....

...... when will I ever learn .....

Upon leaving, I turned onto the main drag ....... nothing was coming either way ..... so, I floored it ......

I'm sure I impressed all the Mexicans sitting outside ...... but, I did not crash .....

Every. Single. Day.

The bugs are out in full force right now. It has become so bad I can't keep hand washing my car. I've started using the dirty gas station scrub thing on my windshield. It's literally every single drive, to and from any location for me...

Drove my 86 to lunch and made two u-turns in heavy traffic. Did not crash.

Head down Chatham/Windsor way when the mayflies swarm. You ain't seen bugs squashed on your car until you drive through that at 1020!

I'm in the same boat. My windshield got coated so quickly I didn't even bother trying to hit them with my wipers. I ended up gasing up and used the same gas station squeegee.

I picked up a 1600PSI pressure washer last month and it has served me well so far. This morning I gave the front end a blast to remove all of the bug guts. After about five minutes I got 90% of it off.
So far I'm very satisfied with the PPF on the front end, everything comes off with little effort.

That would be the day I purchase a flamethrower.

I need to invest in one eventually. Just ain't ready to drop that money on something like that yet though, I'm in need of additional storage in the garage atm.

This is much more fun when you combine the two quotes.

Not always. But often.
