Default Car grew a beard

So ever since I picked up headers for the GS, he's been acting all super cool..."big man" now. Pfft.

Anyway, so he decides to grow this beard...

That's after I rinsed the car off.

A 15-mile trip home from work along a lake, where apparently lake flies are breeding in fog-like formations. The car actually stunk inside while driving! I s'pose, though, all those bugs was probably the equivalent of a friggin dead squirrel pasted to the front.

Took $10 worth of self-service car washing to rid the GS of the little carcasses.

Oh the lake flies of WI, I remember those days. Now I get to deal with Love Bugs in FL.

You wouldn't have happened to be around Lake Winnebago would you?

Wow, actually a pretty cool picture.. NEXT time remember, theres a bottle of something called like "bug-off" or something (used to use it at the dealer) spray it on and it 'undrys' the bugs or rather re liquefies their juices so they come off easy.

still a sweet pic with funny headline

oh and I dont mean 'bug-off' the repellent LoL, its a detailers brew
