Thumbs down Rally Yellow and Bugs

Am I the only one that ALWAYS has bugs crawling all over my rally yellow car. It's very frustrating when you just wash and wax it and there are bugs all over it. WTF do they think its a flower?!?! It's not! Please tell me this happens to others and I'm not going insane.

I"ve had a very dark blue car(looked black from most angles) and a grey car before this and neither seemed to be half as bad. It really aggravates me. lol

Spray it down with some bug spray... the higher the DEET the better! OFF is a good brand.

i get wasps on my victory red...but i also park under a tree (not by choice) so i think the sap gets on it and the wasps want it.

I have a rally yellow car as well and once I had to park it on grass in a park and I couldn't even open the trunk because there was a swarm of bugs all around it.

There's always spiders on it as well...

I only notice a lot of bugs when I visit the folks. They live in the country and there are bugs everywhere, and some are f'n huge. But they seem to be more attracted to the white siding of the house than the yellow paint of my car.

Dragonflies love my car apparently. I go outside almost everyday to find a few trying to sit on my short antenna.

Actually, yellow is the warmest color of all. It is hotter (collects more heat) than black. I'm not really sure why, but it's true.

But it's really shitty because I have a Rally Yellow SS/SC too and I've got chips all over my paint from the damn bugs.

Rally Yellow here representin woot woot...but yeah every time I go to my car there are at LEAST 3 spiders crawling on it. Even if I only leave the car sitting for like an hour. Nats are a huge problem too. They flock to my car. Bees are VERY attracted to yellow as well. They all just think it's one big flower.....Silly insects, cobalts aren't for you

Damn, I can't find it anywhere online. I swear I remember learning that though.. Blah. I can't prove it, so it must not be true.
