Yeah, well these were concentrated for roughly a quarter mile. Very high Bug Density index for a very short period of driving.star_deceiver wrote:
You don't have that many bugs.... I still have insects from 9 different states on the front of mine!
It's a pretty small world, then. That's right in the vicinity of where my family and I live. My dad actually works at the West Union clinic quite often. If you went through Decorah at all, you would have seen my hometown (it's a beautiful area for a cruise once the leaves start changing or when the hills get a nice blanket of snow). It's interesting to see a regular on here entering the territory; I feel like it's pretty uncommon on most forums. We do have a lot of Midwesterners here so I shouldn't be too surprised.KITT222 wrote:I went to a tiny town just north of Maynard, and near West Union, I believe. Hawkeye is also close.
My grandpa is doing well still, but today was sketchy. Your hopes and prayers would be welcomed. Thanks!
My entire family hails from Iowa. Almost everyone from my family has ties back to Oelwein. As a state, Iowa is relaxing, but not too relaxing that you have nothing to do. You're close enough to do things, yet you can get away from it all very easily. But the notion that the police aren't on every other block has yet to resonate with me (all those country roads... Who really cares?). Maybe I should try to route through Decorah on my way to/from my grandparent's/s'. I'd love to see it!LarryKingsShoes wrote:

I had an annoying rattle along with a clunking noise near my A-pillar. Super annoying, so I took off the A-pillar trim to try and find the cause. The issue wasn't there.... it was my sun visor mount! I removed it and found that the exact way they mount it to the car promotes rattling and squeaks. All it is, is a hole in the ceiling of the car (roof = from above, exposed to outside. Ceiling = from inside) with a metal retainer to hold it in. There aren't even threads in it, just two holes correctly sized for the screws. So I 3M trim-taped it, and duct taped it. No more squeak or rattle!Bastranz wrote:Awesome, welcome to the club!
I am very interested in that 100000 sticker and may invest in it, lol. I'm well into the 155,000s (highway miles I guess) and my beloved Vibe is doing rather well. There's an annoying rattling that occurs when I hit the bumps in the back that I'm trying to find the cause of, and the a/c actuator gear apparently lost a tooth and clicks every so often, but otherwise it's running quite well!
