YOU GUYS ARE SICK FOR LAUGHING AT THAT! IT'S LIKE THE CAT GETTIN IT'S HEAD CHOPPED OFF BY THE SUNROOF IN THAT FORD COMMERCIAL!

Just kiddin. I think it's kinda funny too.

On a side note, my sister hit a bird in a Nissan Maxima, I dunno how she managed to get it to work this way, but one wing hit the A-pillar, and the other hit the side mirror. well, no wings left on the bird and a nice blood stain on the side of a grey Maxima...

Years ago on a Tropical Sports Car Club night rally we were traveling at a high rate of speed along a shell rock road out in the glades when a rabbit ran right in front of the car.

What was worse was that at the same time an owl appeared at my driver's side window FULL FLAPS!!! Window was rolled down at time and thank god the owl didn't fly into the car! We were going so fast it all happened in a blur. What a delayed rush!

Jim 1987 944S (should I have explained that the owl was apparently making a dive on the rabbit at the time we intersected his flight?)

Wow, I was on th edge of my seat reading that one! Great, haha. Ya, I hit a bat in the woods last summer in a pickup. Funny thing is, we had about four people in the bed and the dead bat that hit the windshield, deflected right into the back of the truck...
