Know What Really Bugs Me...
 
Why does my C4 attract and kill more bugs than my Buick LeSabre? I drive the C4 half as much but it always seems to have twice the bug splats. Some strange law of aerodynamics or what?

It's a complex mathematical formula, by which the low front and the angle of the radiator, while not only stealthy, actually suck the car through the air, thereby pulling insects to their death like a V8 powered bug zapper. Consider it a community service, and maybe you could go through areas with heavy mosquito infestations.

Static field generated by fibreglas and air friction attracts bugs and small rocks/debris.

Thats why waxers have fewer nicks. Constantly discharging static electricity via polishing rags and soaps...

:lolg:

Yeah, and may the force be with you!

Hmmm, maybe I could get government funding to drive through areas of dense insect populations. Minnesota likes to pay for stuff like that!

Uhm...not hard to figure out...if you were a bug would you rather end your life via a Corvette or Buick LeSabre?!?!?!

Actually, the bugs are too busy admiring the car, so they can't get out of the way fast enough.
