I had to take off the plexy cover to get him out, his head was wedged between the top of the plexy cover and the car.

No damage was done I guess the cover flexed enough to prevent damage.

It was a little hawk of some kind.

PETA? That's People Eating Tasty Animals, right? Wow, I never thought of using my Corvette for hunting, I usually use the Buick. Kind of improves my odds.

Did that in a Tornado fighter jet once! Took a Goose on short finals at 160 knots. It had a really surprised look on its face!

OMG! I have come back to this thread for the 15th time and I am still
