I drove at up to 70 mph at one point and it just hustled on back behind the mirror as I passed 60 mph. It crawled back out when I slowed below 60 mph. It hung out there while I was at the ATM machine. It came right on back home with me and crawled back to the end of the mirror when I parked the car.

I don't know if there's any truth to this, but the stink bugs seemed exceptionally numerous this past summer. Even now there're a few hanging out around my parents' home.

Nice looking car you have there. I still find the e39 to be among the more attractive BMWs one can get. Far better looking that the 5er that followed it.

Supposedly their breeding cycle is bi-yearly in China or something, but with the seasons here they're breeding 2x as fast b/c of our seasonal schedule. In the past two years they have exploded in population because of this and are really a nuisance now.

Damn them

Yeah dude, last night while watching my Colts beat the Titans, I smelled "Pho-with-basil". That's the way I classify their awful smell.

That indicated that there was one in my room. This summer I had an average 5 per day in my room but it doesn't beat my roommate who got 20. One time he left for a week and came back to catch 170 in his room. He was swabbing them by the handful with toilet paper. Our windows are situated next to a large tree.
