a while back on the 'land cruiser 'list im on 
(diesel)
there was a link posted ..to a resurch project...
don't remember the specifics now ,except they were
studying spiders in...? Australia? maybe Africa?
anyway..
they would park a land cruiser wagon near the 
bush.
seems the spiders where drawn to the vibration of 
the
 (diesel)  motor running.
didn't work well with gassers.

so maybe there's more to the bug attraction and 
diesels?

happily driving in luxury in,

Shawn, my man, the wasps as something else!  Of 
all the cars I've owned,
with all the paint schemes, only two, a 1979 Lemon 
Yellow Rabbit (got
Lemon Yellow for visibility after someone ran a 
stop sign into my
Miami Blue Rabbit and totaled it), and my current 
91 Tornado Red Jetta,
have the masterful ability of picking up wasps 
nests while running
down the road.  It's a constant battle in every 
door, underneath the
car, and even in the radiator area.  I can't 
figure it out.  It's like
the cars oooze some kind of pheromone.  The wasps 
even gather at night.

Anyone else find this problem with VW?  Diesels?
