So....my friend and I were doing 130+ in the Arizona desert last summer when we stumbled across a butterfly graveyard....

 

I would hope that you didn't pit your paint or anything from that...I am sure that hitting butterflies at 130 is more detrimental than rocks or sand at 60...so I hope that your paint is ok underneath there....good luck.

 

It's all good They just went splat! No damage.

 

haha!!!!

 

Speaking from experience... bugs at triple digit speeds DO pit your paint and generally make a permanent mess.

Fugg it... nothing lasts forever.


V. - who has chips and pits in his paint and windshield from those NC bugs...

 

SICK! I had once drove into a swarm of bees with my dad's ML before. It was freaking crazy cause they were all over the windshield and frontbumper.

 

i think it looks kinda hot. i would leave it like it is. I hope i drive through bugs this weekend.

 

i got it beat, i once drove through a swarm of locusts in a miata, top was down at first until i got pegged by one at 60mph, felt like a rock, i don't even want to go into how the radiator smelled afterwards, burned grasshopper -rob

 

hahahahaahah ....good job..next time try a buck fifty at a bird sanctuary!! ...i would also recommend cleaning out the radiator and sum nice polish!!!

 

I had something like that with my Dad's ML too, suffice it to say, that car is not aerodynamic.

 

well i have not washed my r since i got it in march of 2000, so I don't think leaving the bugs will do any noticable damage. I'm kidding. She gets a full detail 5 times a month I love my job. I come to work, park my ride, it gets detailed and parked agian. Only 115 buckaroos a month + tips. Best thing ever.

peace,
