    Ya, I drove near there coming from Texas to North Carolina in a 16' Penske truck. The whole damn truck was BLACK! It made me feel bad for whoever had to wash it.

    Yeah there was a biker riding beside me on the way down and he was tucked to his tank - head down - and blowing along haha. I think he was hoping they would disintegrate if he went fast enough :rolleyes:

    I wish i had pics of my 18 wheeler during love bug season going across I 10 in FL LA AND TX

    Best way to get them off is soak down your front with windex and let it sit and soak it again and let it soak and then soak it one more time and then scrub
