Score: Inside of maxima 1, bird 0

So yesterday I'm driving along with the windows down, when i see a flash out of the corner of my eye. Followed by a thump behind me. I look in my rearview mirror and there is a dead bird in the back deck of my car.

The bird flew in my open driver's side window and hit the back windshield and died. I pulled over and threw it into the woods. Anybody ever had anything like that happen??

Similar thing happened to me. Had the window open at home with out the screen in place. Next thing I know a bird is flying around my living room. By the time I finally caught him, my living room was completely upside down. And do you know how much birds **** when there being chasses. Wound up doing a detailed cleaning of that room when it was all over. It needed it anyway.

I saw a guy who was hit by a partridge... if you don't know, it's about 8-10 pounds. It flew in the passenger side of his truck and hit him in the head, he veered off the road and hit a tree.

The truck was totalled but the airbags/belt saved him but the bird did some damage. Worst part of the accident (according to him) was the broken cheekbone from the bird.

HAHA, wow that's pretty nasty having a bird fly and die into your Maxima.

A weird thing happened to my friend with an S2K. While driving, suddenly a rat starts crawling out of his hood right by the windsheild. He turns on his wipers to send it flying onto the Long Island Expressway.

that is some funny stuff

Also, I think the score remains at 0 each. The Maxima certainly didnt gain a point by having a bird fly into it.
How fast were you going?

My mother had a lizard in her car that would pop up when she was driving. Everytime she stopped to find it the thing disappeared. Can you believe she found it 3 months later still in the car and still alive. She put it on the ground and it went directly to a puddle of water to drink.

Had the cruise set on 52 mph. I'm just glad it didn't bleed, **** or anything else. And also that it didn't hit me in the face.

When I was in college, I was driving with my window down on the freeway. I was leaning a little bit to the left in my seat with my head back so I could feel the breeze.

Out of nowhere a rock came flying at me and cracked the lens of the sunglasses I was wearing. I was pretty ****ed at first because they were $100 Arnettes, but then I realized that I would probably be blind if I wasn't wearing them.

Re: Score: Inside of maxima 1, bird 0

When I had my contour, I was tooling down I-88 @70mph through central Illinois, and hit a robin. I saw the feathers fly, but not the bird. I figured it was stuck on the front of the car.

While I was comtemplating getting off the interstate to check, the darn thing gets released from the front of the car, gets caught under my windshield wiper, and gives me this dead, fixed stare at me for the next couple miles...

What to do? Turn the wipers on! A few flicks, and the thing flies (figuratively speaking) off the car.

I still found feathers in my airbox when I sold the car two years later...

I believe Matt93SE had a run-in with a crow. If I remember correctly, the damn thing flew inside and made a bloody mess.

Jokes, when I was once convoying with the old club (GTP gang), the car in lead hit a crow that was flying accross the highway - a million feathers and other misc parts immediately got sucked in right into my grille (I was car number two).... his car had a busted headlight and scratches on the bumper - my front end was filled with chopped feathers (thank you radiator fan).
