So I wapped a bird today driving

So today -- i'm driving to work this morning going about 45 down a residential area and a stupid bird flops down to get something off the ground RIGHT in front of my car as I'm driving. He flies up and WHAP! right against my upper windshield. No Damage but what was freaky was i look in my rear view mirror and see this bigass cloud of feathers slowly floating down.

hah -- freaky

mmm...roadkill.

Did anyone see the Top gear episode where they went on a road trip through the southern US and they had to eat roadkill for dinner when they camped out?

I have had more birds play the 'swoop' game with me since I got my 8 than in any other car I've ever owned.

Pass me a wing.

I got one about a week ago going to dinner and the bird swooped in front of me and I missed it so it made a second swipe and got her. By the time I got to the resturant all that was left was a couple of feathers stuck in the grille and in the undercarriage
