WTF IS THAT?

Kinda cool, glad it isn't MY truck. :)

Its ok, I washed it last night for them to stick nicely lol

Like I said, used to a lot of bugs, have a place in the adirondacks,  and I have a long commute to work through dark dense pine forests, but never experienced this orange crap.

Strange for sure. What the heck could it be! Pollen of some kind maybe? 

No it was literally bugs! These orange balls were attached to these flies! Its wierd.  I figured you upstaters would have seen this.  I was thinking along the lines of eggs of some sort, but not really sure.  I washed the truck last night,  and tonight this all happened withing a mile or 2....you could hear them hit the windshield like heavy rain drops.

Pic was from last night around 7pm...scrubbed clean

Only because chevys are so slow the bugs casually move out of the way.  

My buddy is a mechanic.  He claims that he would go broke if it wasn't for FORD.  80% of his major repairs are on FORDS.  I have a Chevy work truck that has been pretty decent, and a Toyota that I love.  He drives Dodges, but admits his gas mileage is awful.

As for the bugs, I am clueless.  That picture of the grill sure is strange looking.

Chevys only appear to be slow. The have a tendency to go slower as to not hit a broken down ford along the road.

All kidding aside Ford does make a decent truck. One of my most dependable was a Ford 150 with a straight six.:offtopic:

I am not really brand loyal.  Drive a ford now, and my last vehicle was a chevy and still own a caddy.  All were pretty good in terms of durability.  When I asked my buddy who is a mechanic, he said every brand has their lemons and good performers.  Its luck of the draw.

I always say if you want a work truck you are going to abuse, buy a Ford. If you want a truck for a daily driver, and carry a 2x4 once in awhile buy a Chevy. If you can't afford a truck buy a Dodge.
