Default Wing Mirror Spiders

How the hell do you kill these Fuckers?

No matter how much you pressure wash them they just come back for more - I had to kick off my Runabouts drivers side wing mirror as it was getting too much for me Pic to follow of the damage

Anyone else struggle with these Twats

I HATE spiders and there's nothing worse than one sitting looking at you while driving

If they are out and about, a finger tends to do the trick... Fast Glass has been known to work too

I was thinking the same thing today, got out of one car into another and they both had the bastard webs

Do you reckon they go round their spidermates in the evening and tell them "I bloody hate those old fords, just when you've got a nice breeze up to catch some flys in the web, the car breaks down. And for some reason the owner keeps washing it."?

Ditto, fucking hate spiders, but you must face the fact that the wingmirror spider's webs defy the laws of physics, they simply CANNOT be destroyed.
