Well a good thing is it wasnt a deer this time right ;) hehehe I've had dogs, cats, snakes(even), birds come out in front of my car and me going into another lane or dead stopping for them. My cousin has a parrot and I stayed over and was ready to kill the d@mn thing b/c it kept me awake that time. What kind of bird do you have Masterman??

That happened to me a few years ago in my 89 CRX. Same exact scenario. I was driving and a bird swooped down in front of my car, I thought it was a game that birds play when cars are coming, because that wasn't the first time that a bird has done that. I didnt see the bird come out the other side, i figured it was so fast that I didnt see it. 2 weeks later I was washing my car and I found the bird stuck to my radiator, stiff as a board.

I hit a pigeon going 85 on my VMax back in the day. Basturd clocked me right above the visor of my helmet, snapped my neck so hard I saw stars. Don't know how I stayed on the bike.

Also, I had a homegrown ram-air system on my 68 GranSport. Big air dam under the front bumper, 2 4-inch dryer hosed to the airbox... Every month or so I'd have to open it up and clean a damn bird off the side of the airfilter...

Come to AZ and hit an elk - Very few drivers survive THAT kind of impact.

I hit plenty of birds, cats and even a dog out in Cass County Indiana in my 87 Caprice Classic. Something about a big car traveling fast that attracts animals to it.
