My 07 coupe wasn't a week old, when I let the wife take it out for her first solo drive. When she returned and pulled into the driveway, there all kinds of feathers stuck to the driver's side of the windshield. She'd hit a wild turkey. Scratches are still in the windshield. Turkey somehow survived.
A month later a ruffed grouse crossed right in front of me. It hit the grill and exited the rear of the car vaporized !!!!!!!!!Nothing but feathers.

I think you need to drive it on the road and not on a farm.

Going down Rt 1 this morning, freakin' crow swoops down from the side, right in front of me, and I nailed it. Was going 40 mph, so no damage to the car, but the crow wasn't so lucky. It was like the bastich was sacrificing himself to the Z06 gods. Guess he felt it was a better way to go than West Nile.

You think eating crow is bad, try hitting a chicken ( dead center on my chest) on a motorcycle, doing about 30-40. Thank god for leather. All I saw was a poof of feathers, and then I had to scrub the $hit off my jacket. Thankfully I maintained control......... My C6 has eaten squirrel though.
but maybe not enough baseball fans here to appreciate that reference.
