Alright...

here we go I'll try to explain it as best I can...

1) Detergents use a fluoressing agent to make things sparke this can be seen through the UV sensing eyes of bugs (to test simply put some detergent into a glass with some water and havd a water standard and compare under a 'black' light, the detergent one will glow). This is why you notice it the most when and soon after cleaning your car.

2) If you were to view a white car with a UV camera you will notice that it reflects an aweful lot of ultra violet (compared to darker colours) which attracts the little buggies (esp bees).

But why are the bugs attracted more so to this colour and or violent light than other animals like dogs, dinosaurs and whales?? :P

Mammals do not see Ultra Violet, insects do.

In fact I believe dogs are colour-blind and only see black and white!!!

Here's my attempt...

Flies are attracted to white, cause flies are attracted to sh!t :P

Mozzies are attracted to black because mozzies are attracted to hot blooded people :P

Ask Silvabullit what is attracted to Silver, and he will tell always tell you that nothing is attracted to it, because he's too fast....

One thing I can tell you, is that nothing, not even modifications are attracted to red... :P

And MotoMan, I don't think Wei Wei's blue attracts anything other than a certain mountain slightly west of BrisVegas... :P

      KUN26R Hilux Single Cab - Tray to Tub

      Hi everyone, I own a 2011 Toyota Hilux KUN26R. It currently has a tray. I am looking for a single cab tub (image for reference below). I have a couple of questions for everyone: - Were KUN26R's ever released in Australia with a single cab tub as an option? I have looked high and low over all sorts of marketplaces within Australia and honestly cannot seem to find one. I don't believe I have ever seen one on the streets of Aus either. - Does anyone have experience making this conversion? Where can I find a tub? I have found some examples of the style side single cab KUN26R's in the UK, EU, Africa and Thailand but in all instances it has been part of a whole car sale and the sellers have not been willing to part out. Even so, if there is the chance that I can buy this tub in Australia it would be much better as it would save the hassle of organising freight. Thanks everyone in advance. I'm jealous of overseas countries who seem to have gotten this model in abundance.

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      1993 CSI limited Corolla Seca hatchback 80k kms. We are the second owner and have complete service and maintenance records of the car from new. Previously owned from new by older lady who rarely drove the car in the final years. Very neat and tidy vehicle. Unfortunately another vehicle has reversed into the car and their towball caused some damage to radiator, air con system and fan. The right person could easily fix the vehicle. We are just not in a financial position to do this. We cannot bear to send the car to salvage so posting here in hope that another Toyota enthusiast is interested incontinuing the life of the car. These cars are much loved and we have loved our “Beryl” during her time with us. Please feel free to ask questions. Open to offers above $3k

      Rav4 smart key keyless entry

      I got my new rav4 2024 hybrid gx yesterday. The fob let's me lock and unlock using the button but doesn't do this automatically for proximity. Once in the car the push start ignition turns on without holding the key up to it and the multimedia system tells me that the smartkey system is activated. I've read the manual over and over but can't find a fix for this specific thing. Has anyone else had this?

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      Hey I'm looking to buy my first car and was looking at this 2010 Aurion Sportvio with 165,000km for around $9000and relatively new tires. Just wondering if this is a good price and if I should be worried about such high km's with expensive maintenance. Only looking to have this car for 5 ish years, so will it last that?
