Ha ha ha! That was the thread. I remember seeing the pic of the bird splattered on the intercooler...

Kinda makes you re-think putting a hood scoop on the SVX...

The shower image is less aesthetically offensive than the toilet!

This picture was brought to you by one of the more geeky moments I've ever had. I emailed it from my phone (with which I had just taken the picture) to my gmail account while sitting on the toilet.

So is the toilet in the parking lot or the EVO parked in the toilet??

On my recent trip to The Northwest I hit 3 birds...???
One was splatted into the engine compartment (blood oozed under the hood) ugh! but I never thought to take pictures of it's little feet sticking out (very like the picture above)

I also hit a crow and a seagull... glancing blows off the hood and windshield... no damage with any of the three hits...

What's up with these birds? .... I've never hit one before....

You should've taken a pic!


Gee, guess I'm lucky that all I hit were bugs on my roadtrip.

I had an odd string of bird-related incidents a few summers ago.

The first was on a country drive in the SVX. The grass was long and there were no shoulders. I came around a bend and a bird flew under the car. I didn't feel anything, so I figured I must've missed it. Then I looked in my rearview mirror and saw the cloud of feathers.

A couple days later I was on my way back to the office after having bought a sandwich at Subway. I was crossing the street when a bird dove behind me and around to my right, smacking a car, which was turning right. I believe the car was a Saturn and I remember the bird slamming square into the left rear door panel. It fell onto the pavement and seemed rather stunned, unable to stand up. I stood there, in the middle of the intersection, trying to decide whether to pick it up and risk it biting me and giving me some dreadful disease or leave it. I left it. I looked back a few times and saw it coming to, so I tell myself it was fine.

Later that day I was in our office manager's office, telling her about these weird incidents, when a rather large bird (possibly a pigeon) slammed head-first into the window.
