Default Car smell like fish ?

Any of you Verts out there have a fish land in your vette as you were cruising down the x-way in Florida ?? This Osprey was eating the head off this catfish on one of the overhead signs. I figured he just let it go when he was done..haha.

My dad had a duck's head in the back seat of a Chevy once. I had a blurry polaroid picture of it and was going to try to scan it, but can't find it.
He managed a Chevy dealership near St. Louis in the mid 50's, and was "road testing" one of the new V-8 Bel-Aire models. He had the driver window open and was running at full speed. It was on a long stretch of rural pavement, and there was a large lake/river bottom area on his right. Apparently this duck was coming in for a landing and got his head just inside the driver window. Dad said he saw the duck hit the side of the car, and didn't realize he had decapitated it until he got back, and the mechanic freaked out at the head laying in the back seat in a puddle of blood. It was a blue/white car with blue/white interior... They had to replace the entire back seat. A fish head would probably be just as gross.
