Default What you don't want on a new truck

Or any truck as far as that goes, but one less than a month old, it would have made me cry, but it was my cousins, so I got over it.


Love Bugs my ***, nobody loves them, if you leave them on they will eat through the paint in 2 days, and the late because we had a dry season, should have been here in the end of April, not may and then will be back in Sepember

The problem with love bugs is you always splat them two at a time.

Ah the south, home of such lovely things as love bugs. Can't say I've heard of them before. But if my truck looked like that it would be going to the car wash ASAP anyway.

You dam sure don't want to turn the wipers on or you couldn't see nothing.

Now if you were sitting in the right spot you could make a lot of money with a potable presure washer for a few weeks a year and the car washes are busy for weeks

im from michigan and im about 15 minutes from a big lake that hatchs these bugs. when i drive into the city on the lake they have these bugs called "fish flys" that come for about 2 weeks every year. they cover EVERYTHING! the street lights, the screens and brinks of your house, all the vehicls in parking lots, stop signs...u name it they cover it. what makes me mention them is when you are driving they are so thick on the road that it sounds like your driving on that bubble shipping plastic. atleast they dont splay as much as "love bugs" though, but it is funny to drive durring the fish fly time. also, thanks for the info handy man, ive tried that but maybe ill try it again and see how that goes.

Make your link to your picture is good and it will work,

even when I posted the picture up top I had to do it twice as I used the wrong link, but when I switched to the direct link it worked
