Yep, all bugs down there. That's also part of a bird in the main grill. That's from just 2 hours of driving in Nebraska during July on a road trip.

We got over a coffee can of dead grasshoppers out of the front end after returning home, didn't see many on the road or in the air but they were obviously present.

That is why I use a stretch bra. Just unsnap it and throw it in the washer. Plus it keeps them out of the radiator.

Moab to Grand Junction to Durango:

I hope for your sake you are taking UT 128 to I-70, then CO 141 to CO 145 to Mesa Verde (cool entrance road to park) then on to Durango.

550 has much too much traffic to be properly enjoyed in a Vette, but it's your life
