Love the early morning weekend drives down by the Minnesota river valley. Screw the license plate into the tow hook hole and go carve some back country roads. Scenic highways, single lane county roads with nothing but farms in every direction, plenty of curves going up and down the watershed areas, and often being lucky enough to see some bald eagles. Plenty of places to really open it up too without any other drivers around for miles.
The drawback? Bugs. And this time a bird strike. Just the wire mesh is bent covering the center radiator. You can see some feathers in there too. It's easily straighten out but does require the front bumper to be removed. Maybe I'll fix it tomorrow after returning from another morning drive.
Sounds like a great drive! There is likely no better way for a bird to go.
I've seen worse, but it was before the days when everyone had a camera in their pocket. My little sister had borrowed my mothers 944, when she came home there was a whole on the middle of the winshield where the mirror had been, blood streaked all the way down the back window, and the car was full of feathers and... bird parts.
The punchline to the otherwise morbid story is: When asked how fast she was going she said "50 or so..." This actually brought a laugh out of my father who called BS and had a good time grilling her over it.
At least you didn't have to clean the inside of the car.
LOL. I thought I was the only one whose 911 attracted birds. I head butted a turkey about a month ago and ran over a little red bird who didn't move fast enough. Good to set your 911 getting used...T
Nice work. I have no mush and once caught bird in the front. I stopped and eventually flew out. Then this year a turkey flew into the side. Thank God for dent wizard... Darn birds.
