Bugs vs. Sun Fusion
Has anyone else walked out of their house to their FJ (particularly Sun Fusion) and found it swarming w/ flies or bugs? I had to fight through them this morning to get in it.
I think they're thinking it's a bright flower or something...who knows....
May just be the area i live in....lol

Same here, the seem to flock to it. Rather have bugs hangging around than birds pooping on it.

Yeah, they seem to have a fatal attraction to it when it's moving or sitting still...they don't care

I don't blame them (the bugs). After all, we did the same thing.

... what... smear ourselves all over the windscreen?
yeah, I'm having all kinds of problems with people flinging themselves in my path... thank goodness for the 9" of ground clearance.
