Spiders are arachnids, not insects :P

This sounds familiar. I Normally park in front of the (stuffed)
garage, right next to some kind of Shrubbery (a nice one, but not too
nice[0]).
For the past month, I parked on the curb instead, since I got tired of
cleaning the nasty black bird sh*t from the boot every time I came
home. When the new paint goes on the car (dark BRG), the car goes
inside and the crap in the garage goes elsewhere :)
Perhaps the color change will result in less need to clean also. One
can dream.
