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 remember Earnhardt hitting a seagull in the 1991 Daytona 500.

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. -- --

Figures!! Hulk can't tell the difference between a crow and a skunk. Man you must have some bad gas not to be able to smell the skunk you hit.

..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.

Wait, you're not calling it the "zebra" anymore? It's now the "skunk"?!?!

I think it's a bad call, but if the smell fits......
