Default OT: PY ITR...Kills bugs dead on contact?!!?

I just got done washing the R. Man is it shinning. I was just wondering
for those of you with the PY ITR...do little gnats and bugs seem to just be lying
all over your car..some alive, but most dead? Everyday when its sunny these
bugs are just all over my car...its like they are attracted to the yellow and then
just lie there and die......weird.

This has been ever since I've had my R by the way...not just today.

yeah i hate bugs or birds either one of them.. everytime i'm washing the car outside.. before it all dry there is at least a few insects just chilling on a random part of the car.. wtf.. they must be diggin the yellow.. but then what i hate the most is birds.. its seems like they are using the yellow color to aim where their **** lands.. i.e. last week i just finished washing my car and it looked damn near perfect.. so i'm drying the chammy and i turn away from the car to put it in the plastic box when i hear a semi loud pop, turn around to find a huge bird **** that detonated in the middle of my hood even went as far as my front windshield.. so i had to wash it again.

Funny thing... I was at a rod run ( old cool cars for those who don't know )

here in Abbotsford at Lower Sumas and one guy had a yellow 50ish Ford

something... couldn't really tell cause it was covered in bees like a bad movie!

There was only a few small spots without bees, and the guy had to wait until the

sun went down then the bees slowly flew off ( I sure as hell wouldn't want to try

a hose on them ) It was awsome to see, but needless to say I have a CW R, not

a PY one..

That reminds me of the porsche ads. Does anyone have that link?

It's the one where VW was showing their "areodynamics" with a bug flying over it and smacking into a porsche.
Porsche rebutted with a "kills bugs dead" ad
