Ok it is love bug season...I friggin hate them, they are EVERYWHERE! And now they are stuck to my headlights, grill, windshield wipers (they squirm when they hit) and I have bug goo all over my windshield. Then there is the pollen attack....omg I hate the pollen one moment it is clean, 5 minutes later it is being attacked by flower sperm and turns yellow again. So here is my first poll for you guys, what is your cars natural enemy? The #1 on this list. If it is other, tell us what the other is, make it funny if it is. If there is more then one, pick the top on your hate list then share with us the rest and why. I am just curious and I think this could be fun. __________________  my new world |  |  | | 05-31-2006, 12:30 AM | #2 | | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 |

I picked other,since i live on the water the salt air really isn't good for my car. It's just bad for any moving part on my car,my brake rotors rust up in like a day if i don't drive it. Bugs suck too & polen does suck,it gets everywhere,you wash your car 2 hours later you have a yellow glow. Snow does suck but it sure is fun. __________________ 98 Avus Blue 318 ti Active

Rocks here in Houston, Tx. My windshield is starting to look like a topographical map due to the large # of construction trucks slinging thier little projectiles. I don't know if it's the angle of the winshield or just wierd aerodynamics but I have driven several other cars here and never got pelted like I do in my ti. | | | | | 05-31-2006, 02:28 AM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Thousand Oaks, California Posts: 343 |
POLLEN! I hate it. I wash my car and then I give it a nice waxing, I come back to brag to myself and the damn thing has turned yellow. Its like magnet for the stuff and i dont even know where it comes from. Then i have to walk around the car and dust if off again. __________________ 1993 325is Hellrot

lol im surprised rocks came up so much. I was going to put sprinklers...but its not a natural enemy. If it was that would be mine, I have reclaimed water so I get salty pee water spots all over the car...needless to say its not good for the paint. __________________ my new world | | | | | 05-31-2006, 04:40 AM | #11 | | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Long Beach area Posts: 1,189 |

There are several products sold to bikers and sprint racers that can be sprayed on the car after cleaning that make re-cleaning easy. I've used them during grasshopper season out her in OR....

some people need to put themselves down as their Ti's natural enemy due to the fact that they can't drive! | | | | | 05-31-2006, 06:35 AM | #14 | | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: cary, nc Posts: 2,259 |

Voted other.
A man keeps racing pigeons near my house and every day they **** all over my yard. Especially after I've washed the car! __________________  | | | | | |
