That picture is disturbing. My family's all from the south and I refuse to go back because of the bugs. I don't remember them being that bad however I was just talking mosquitoes. No going south! Case closed!

Holy crap. It's like a bug cult and they all drink the kool-aid at the same time!

We don't have the "love bugs" here but we do have these little green guys that just loved the MR Fit especially after I wash it. They normally show up in early spring and then after a few months they go away. That truck is awful - ick!

actually the love bugs don't have acid, what eats the paint is the bacteria eating the bug. The day I test drove the car I went home , made and installed a screen in front of the radiator before I went back to purchase the car.
Keep the front waxed, and let a water soaked beach towel loosen them up. or don't drive between 10am and 6pm. There finally gone as of today.
