Bugz bugz dead bugz
Well we did 1600kms in the car from Wednesday last week to last night. We drove along back roads and by roads and had a blast.....gee this car can go fast!! 
Not too shabby I can tell you! We got great fuel economy specially since I forgot to fill up in Naracoorte and then rolled into Cavendish Vic on fuel vapours....got a little over 500kms to a tank!! That economy with a full car and me thrashing it!! Too cool.
Killed lots of bugs...ran over a stick that has dented the drivers door and saw a lot of dirt roads....the diff had a ball, locking up all over the place! Took some shots of the car before his bath today. GLad I got the Hymee grille or those bugs would be in my coolers....not good.... Killed lots of dragonflies as well...but not another animal was harmed in the travels....some of it at warp speed!
The other photo is the car with my slightly smaller Honda wheels on the car cause the tyres are soooo quiet and the Mazda tyres are getting way too noisy...sound like rally tyres...
NOT HAPPY with THE BRIDGIES at all.... 
to noisy...rrr rrrr rrrr rrrr as I drive along....

OMG thats heaps of bugs!!!!
Yes the bridgestones are loud...JUST TURN UP THE MUSIC LIKE I DO
I had dad in my car last week.... boy that was annoying. Since he dont like my taste in music, i couldnt put radio on (well i refuse to put his music on too!!), so I had to hear this in the car:
"Your car is too loud"
"Its too bumpy"
"Its too low"
"My god Its giving me a headache"
list goes on.........

nah....keep it well waxed...the car, I mean 
Then wash it off as soon as you can after the trip. I used to travel Canberra-Sydney and return each week, and got lots of bugs. That was the best way of keeping it as bug free as possible. Of course, there are still stone chips, but that's what happens on our roads
Car bras always look naff, and are a sure sign of **** retentiveness

Hey that bra looks really good. I would blow a valve trying to fit it though!
I agree Timbo, took it to the car wash guys who pressure wash the car and all that stuff while we had a coffee! All da bugs came off, but I did find some little ones stuck in the indicator on the bumper that I will have to get out and for Taka I will bury them.
It's the inside I have to clean this weekend...it;s all dusty
windows down on dirt roads and some wheelies!
Ps. MissyK it's raining here now....you might get that rain in the arvo take a jumper!

Coarse surface road noise was my major gripe with the 8 (and all previous Mazdas, I might add). Especially once the 040's became quite worn....and even more so if, by some chance, you had somehow flat-spotted one

I'd rather keep the polish up and re-spray the nose in due course (or get a MS nose...).

Get 'em off now!!! ...just kidding.
They look fine and if they dampen the road noise it's all good.
