We got the call from our dealership this weekend that our Blue LX CVT had arrived! We drove the car home and of course, me being the weird OCD person I am, I start going through the car with Scotchguard as well as 303 Aerospace protectant. In the process I found this little guy below. Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures but it was very alive and crawling around. I think it’s a Stink Bug? We have them here in the Northwest but I've never seen one this big. Most are the size of a pinky nail, but this one is a good 1-inch long not including the antenna's. It can only be an assumption it came from Mexico but the car didn't go through the full dealer prep since there was a lot of plastic wrap on the interior when we received it. No windows down during the drive home.

to insinuate that you got a car from mexico with a stink bug isn't right. u really can't tell when the stink bug got in there. the dealer or you could have left a crack open and it could have crawled in.

 

I can't see the pictures but i've seen some pretty big ones up here in Northern CA, over 1" anyway.

 

Yeah, its only an assumption since its unknown how many times people are in/out of the car. Car didn't go through the full dealer prep though (still had all kinds of interior parts covered in annoying plastic wrap) and we didn't have any windows down during the drive home.

 

At least it isn't "la cucaracha"!

 

Just another example of how open our southern border has become. You don't need to worry unless it joins a gang (those bright colors look suspicions to me), or demands public services.

 

LUCKY!! I had to pay extra for mine.

 

If it were against a white background and in focus we could ID the bug and figure out where it is from.

It would have been worse to find a swarm of teeny bugs!

(when I read the title I expected to read about a baggie of herbal substance!)

 

I was thinking a baggie of a white powder substance!

 

Maybe there's a baggie white substance 'inside' the stink bug.

 

That's exactly what I thought! Better not tell the dealer or they'll claim that's an option you have to pay for!

 

Bonus points if the stink bug let loose it's stink inside!

 

Appears we are running short on FIT topics to discuss eh?....lol!

 

Why not just ask the little fella' where he's from?

¿De dónde es usted?
