Default Best method for removing a fly inside the car

Hada fly buzzing around the car the other day while a passenger in a 91 928GT.......so I see the fly turn and head back towards the window on my side.....I'm prepared......I hit the down button on the window........I forget we are traveling a 240KPH at the time .........the fly shot right out the window......and so did the Petrol receipt by the stick shift........any lint clinging to my clothes.......my eyebrows. Just thought I pass on this helpfull hint.

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that next time I'm on I-5...

Hey, I'm offended by your sigature: You say all 928s are for sale, but the BMW is not. What's up with that? It should be the other way...

I would think that depends on her weight...

Well......the 928 are in the US.......I'm not. Finding the right 928 at the right price here was a bit harder than anticipated. Finding a sweet BMW 6 at a sweet price....welll.....that was a bonus.

We were wondering if the fly remained a "fly" or if it became a "walk" or a "sit" upon exiting.

Q: Why don't insects stay in the slow lane?
A: They do, but still drive on the left side of the road.
