I have the same problem. I find it funny that they don't get into the interior, only all over the outside. I guess they think its a flower.

I've been wondering the same thing since I brought my MY coupe home on Friday. Friggin lil bugs love the thing more than I do. They must think it's the biggest flower EVER.
I am getting a lil jealous of them tho- they get to spend more time on the car then I do.
