... hit a Bird? I did. Going about 50 mph too It just like flew towards the direction my car was going, I think it wanted to commit suicide...or fly under my car for kicks, most birds my area do that way too often.

Here's the damage



So I need a new grill. How much am I looking at?

Thanks

PS. Crappy camera phone pic and yes, I know my car is dirty.

be thankful it didn't hit your windshield...that happened to me once and is still one of the scariest minutes of my life

Throw a wanted post in the parts wanted section. Lots of people have changed out their grills

^ That chicken must have not been from California. That's one hell of a mess and lucky it missed the driver.

Ouch... that Porsche must of been moving along pretty quickly...

When I was younger my mom hit a Peacock at 70mph+ in her 626 and when we arrived to the destination part of it's feet were still in the lower bumper area but nothing else was to be found (except for feathers of course).

a peacock?

in colorado?

JRichter

Nope in Texas, rural NE Texas to be exact. Don't ask me why it was there but last time I was near my parents house in that area that farm still had some wondering around. You would be surprised to see what people keep out there.

Was it a roast chicken sub?

I hit a little bird here in CA on the highway doing 70 ish I think..........took out my front mesh and there were feathers, nothing else though

You know, honestly it was. I can't believe I didn't realize that at the time. Probably would have actually thrown it away if I had realized that. Nothing wrong with $5 footlongs.

That happened to me once. But it feel down. So, I did not see it when I checked it for damage. I even checked out the oil cooler. A week later I was washing my car and stuck my hand in there to get out the leaves that like to collect there. I could not wash my hands enough.

Yum dinner.
