Default New Hood Ornament--ITR Owned

I was on my way to work this morning... and as I passed by this herd of birds flying away... I heard a BUMP.. didn't think nothing of it... got to work... took a quick glance at the R and just went to the office... I come back out later to repark the car at a closer spot and noticed that there was a BIRD on my front lip... I've heard of guys hitting cats and dogs, but for me... I hit a darn bird... oh well, I took it off... here's a quick shot of the bird on the bumper...



Here's a couple of more pictures in my gallery..

I had a bird take a U turn right into my windshield this past summer. I ducked, like it was going to come through the glass. The bird bounced right off and continued on his way, wierdest 'hit and run' ever. Maybe I should call it a 'hit and fly'.

Like I said.. I didn't think nothing of it too... until I saw it dangling from the front lip... I guess the bird thought he was quick and wanted to run with the crowd, but found out that he was too slow and got owned...

I hit a pidgeon with my civic going about 90 on the PA turnpike. It just landed in the middle of the road and there was no going around it. When I got home, there was blood and feathers all over my radiator and bumper. We used to call my car pigeon grille until it got stolen. . .

Man, that's crazy the bird got stuck on there! It would be hard to remove if it was left for the sun to cook for a few days.

That reminds me of a "bird" story from years ago. I was at the 1/4 mile track with my 97 GS-R. I was driving down the service road to pick up my time slip from the quarter mile pass. I had the window down just driving slow. I hear this thud inside my car and I am like "what the heck is that". I look back and see this shotgun style white turd all over the back leather seats.

Apparently there was a big seagull flying overhead and it dropped a super sized turd from above, hitting the inside of the b-pillar of the car – hard to imagine. The turd then got reflected into the back seat. Needless to say, that was not a happy moment nor a pretty sight. You could see chunks of undigested fish guts contrasting the white liquid.

I'm just thankful it was not on the cloth seats of the R. The leather was not too hard to clean. Kind of weird like your episode.

I was following my uncle in my caa to Lake havasu.He was driving his motor home.I was a little ways back just cruising checkin out the scenery.I looked to my right and i see this big *** bird flying.

I was like damn that thing is BIG!.The dang bird was flying beside the freeway and decided to crossover right in front of my uncle.Needless to say all i seen was the bird fly in front of the motorhome and feathers everywhere.

The Big *** bird was deflected off the windshield back to the right side.What was weird is it seemed like it was still alive cuz it still seemed like it was trying to fly.But then it did this crazy *** crash landing into the gaurd rail and died instantly.

All i remember was driving by kinda slow to see the bird,it was upside down and huge black claws.
When we stopped at a gas station,i was givingmy uncle crap about it.he said "oh yeah?","check out the windsheild".The damn bird shattered the thing,i mean the whole windshield got owned by that bird.I was suprised he could drive like that.
