Wifey and I just completed a full month of driving around the entire lower one-third of the U.S. a few weeks ago. While packing up the trunk, I thought it'd be a good idea to shove a bottle of windex in the corner along with my chamois.
Good damn thing....we hit central Florida smack in the middle of Love Bug season. Those little bastards do NOT squeegee off with just the gas station's water; they dry like super glue....but a spritz of the windex got us across from Cape Coral to Fort Pierce with only six window-wiping stops. Whew.

LOL—we simply avoid going anywhere in FL more than 5 miles inland during love bug season. A game you can play while driving: Search for single love bugs. Yell, “LOSER!” Repeat.

In the early 80’s had a part-time job delivering mobile homes to New Orleans after one of the hurricanes. Sometimes would run into swarms of lovebugs which would blind the windshield. Even soapy water wouldn't touch those juicy bad boys, but when they got too bad would stop and get a bottle of Coke and spray most on the windshield and it would cut the lovebugs!
