I got pooped on!!!!
Obligatory picture
Ok I know there are some inherent risks with driving with the top out and I've experienced a few of them like losing my baseball cap on the freeway but this is just gross!
Took the car out for a back road cruise and was just heading home. It was a beautiful day and I had a blast running the car out in the twisties. I had just stopped at a traffic light and splat, right on the back of my head and on the headrest on the seat. I looked up just in time to see a crow flying away from the intersection. That little ******. Adding insult to injury, the couple in the minivan next to me were laughing hysterically. Apparently they saw the whole thing.
Luckily I had a towel and a water bottle in the car with me. So grossed out by this I took two showers!

At least it was you and not the car. Here's my "bird vs. car" story...
I got a friend who absolutely despises his father-in-law.. (reasons unnecessary for this story, except to say that from what I've seen I completely agree the FIL is a real jerk deserving of ANYthing bad that happens to him)
My friend was outdoors at his house during a summer BBQ one time. True to form the free-loader showed up and after packing some of the ribs away in a cooler, proceeded to grab a paper plate and help himself. But my friend said that despite that; he had a good time--while he ate, he'd break off small morsels of bread from his biscuit and throw it on his father-in-law's Lexus something-something that his FIL flaunted as a token of his superiority. (he really is a piece of work, and we're not even talking about the criminal and malicious stuff)
When two of us were puzzled about why our friend was so satisfied with himself for leaving bread crumbs, he said, "I left damn near 2 biscuits on that car; I hoped it would bring plenty of birds who **** where they ate; and it did."
Man, I ain't ever gettin' on my friend's bad side.
ps..... that' wasn't the reason I don't like ragtops; it was the handling--really.

That is one reason why I don't go topless. The last time I did that was on my C4. A wasp entered the cockpit area during a traffic light stop. It decided to hang around the cargo area. I had to pull over on the side of the road and open the rear hatch for it to escape.

I'm in the habit of dropping the top after work for the drive home.
I got home one day and saw a big plopper (crow, most likely) on the trunk lid.
From the splatter-pattern I could tell it happened while I was driving and it just barely missed landing in the cockpit.

But . . . you talk about having a hardtop as if that's a good thing. Even the possibility of bird bombs will not dissuade me from puttin' the top down on a nice day.

Red cars are faster. They did a study on it. So you can go so fast the birds can't catch up.

Problem is I was stopped at a light so I couldn't out run him.
