heh, That's great news!
I keep a bucket of water in the garage and wipe the bugs off at the end of the day!
(Dont forget to check the intercooler, I found a huge cricket splatted in there) I'm considering calling my MINI RAID the amout of insect life it seems to destroy.
The seem to come off quite easily though!

>>How bad is the break dust problem on the white rims?
No worse then the silver rims..
No really, they do look pretty crusty... or well used, not quite sure, but I try to keep them clean... In the detailing forum, some suggested throwing a light coat of wax on them. I have not tried that yet, but the hose does not work, tire foam does not work, and brushes just smear. The best solution i've come up with so far is the armorall glass wipes. Of course, i'm sure some windsheild washer fluid and a roll of paper towels would do just as good, but I alread keep the glass wipes in the car...
