those locusts though, they do just smear around don't they?

It appears they are not water soluble at all........this wildlife on my car really gets my goat.....selfish b@#tards......how dare they soil my car?!

Lets have a group hug and start concerning ourselves with things that actually matter- methinks a good root might help! :
I remember riding my bike from Melbourne to Byron Bay, I got to the Vic Border where you drive along it for a few miles (After Sheperton but before Deniliquin, that area) and the locusts were shocking. My headlight was black, my visor was the same, I had to lift it, the bug gut was smeared all over it, my gloves were filthy with it. I suffer hayfever, Im sneezing huge gobs of snot into my fullface helmet. That trip started as a shocker. Pulled up in this oasis of a servo (under normal circumstances it was a tiny outdated thing, but then was an oasis) and waited it out, cleaned everything and took the time to have some dinner. Youd think Id have eaten enough.

if its good for the goose its good for the gander, only exception is if you cop it just after you have busted your nuts washing and detailing your car!

It seems to happen too often. I must admit on one occasion I had the opportunity to return the favour.

Wish they set off on their trip better prepared, or be more considerate to the driver behind.

Is it me, or do others find it frustrating following a car which puts its washers on?
Big deal, get over it, they're looking after their own safety, pay attention to yours..

washing your car is more theraputic than anything, and you should enjoy the end result for a few minutes, then kiss it goodbye. The only way you're going to keep your car clean is by not driving it, and keeping it in a garage for its whole life. But birds get into my garage and crap all over my cars anyway so even that won't work 100% of the time.
