there's a video around online of a viper hitting a bird at high speed. it squeezed through the windshield and roofline through the surround... sprayed the driver w/ blood and guts. can't look for it right now though.

I'm surprised, that you were able to hit it. -- Crows have a warning system for cars. They sit in trees and call out "ka-ka -ka" (car-car-car),to their friends near the road, when a car comes. --

..still looking for the viper vs bird vid lol
ok, break time btwn classes is over. can't keep looking. someone post it if they can find it. the one i found is an unedited one so its several minutes of just road racing w/ a wing just in the edge of the camera's field of view. the original video i saw showed the aftermath including the bird gut covered driver lol

Better a crow than a metal hubcap.
Glad there was not damage.
