    Default Nope, not buying this car. Nope.

    This just came in on the UUC Digest....can't help but laugh.

    I'm at the end of my rope and just called my insurance company. =(

    My car (04 330Ci) is now home to a colony of ants, and I can't seem to rid
    myself of them. I've verified there are no food sources in the car. No
    candy. No soda. No french fries/freedom fries. No dead mobster in the
    trunk. Nothing.

    I've vacuumed up thousands of the voracious little critters, and every time
    I go driving, they attack me.... Damn things itch when they bite. I've hit
    em with bug bombs with litte effect. They completely ignored the ant baits
    I've placed in the car. And they're multiplying.

    I've called up people asking for help.

    Dealer says "Sorry. Can't help. Call an exterminator."

    Exterminator says "Sorry. Can't help. Cars can explode, and no
    exterminator will accept that liability."

    BMWNA says "Sorry. Can't help. Thank you for calling customer relations."

    Insurance company says "We'll call you back."

    Default do some research on ants mann...

    amazing creatures able to adapt to almost anything, a little heat wont even phase them, they can adapt to radiation where if a nuclear bomb went off and there was NOTHING remaining you can bet that them ants will be the only creatures left!

    Guess I get into my kids interests a little too much.
