!!!!"Hit and Run involving STI"!!!!

Haha

High speed carnage from Bend, Oregon to the Bay area. I had to clean the windshield 4 times on the drive. A pressure washer and a ton of soap did the rest of the work when I got home.

It sounded like it was raining at times it was so thick.

Huge props to Krinkov.....
Invisguard protection is amazing, and it makes removing the carnage easy.

Washed it a few minutes after I took the pics. Everything came clean. Forgot to take the after pics.

Oh yeah, Meguiars soap rocks! Everything slides right off.

That's why I made all those screens. Some of those big bugs can dent the fins on the IC and the radiator at high speeds. Both are clean.

"Gas Jockeys"??????

Was the gas expensive? It's always cheaper than California in my experience, plus they have 92 octane instead of 91. Every little bit helps. I managed to get 22-23 mpg for the first time, even with the high speed carnage rampage.
