Bugs. Really Big Bugs
I feel persecuted -- possibly even scarred for life at this obvious discrimination. Bugs are people too ...
seriously - get a Colgan or Speed Lingerie. Some pics and info for you at my web page. I have the SL, and I think it takes about 10 minutes to install, 2 minutes to remove. Just make sure the bra is warm for installation. if the bra material is cold, it's impossible to stretch it.
Definitely worth getting a bra for these special circumstances. I just use mine for long trips. Always good to know it's there.

Man thats a lot of bugs on that fence!
IF you ever drive to Louisiana, better put on a car bra, there are millions of these black bugs that turn your white car into salt & pepper!
But wow those are some big suckas!

Drove once down the Interstate that skirts Lake Ponchtraine. Had to stop after 20 mi. Couldn't see for all the bug juice. Had to scrape off the wind shield with a credit card.

Do not leave your convertible top down overnight. One time I parked my car with the top down overnight. It was under a Mercury lamp. Inside of body filled up with crickets. Smelled for weeks.

Don't know about car bras. Have a personal dislike for them after trying a few. But will offer this caution.
Watch the streets. I saw cars hit intersections with stop signs, where the bugs where thick, and slide right through. I ain't making that up!
By the way, also spent some years in Wheaton. Enjoyed my time there. Spent a lot of time at John's Buffet, in Winfield.
Good luck!

Bought a GM bra, hated it. Pain to get on and off.
Been using one of these for years, love it. My 4 year old prides himself for being able to put it on. It rolls up into a tiny bag that fits in the back cubby when not in use. Comes in several colors. There's one on my car in my avatar if you look close.

I have a bra like this one and love it. I think it is good for temporary use for a trip or bug infestation!!
The locusts are also LOUD in the late day and early evenings.
