    I'm sitting at a light on a local parkway in my 328, top off, amongst gawking traffic when I catch a flash of bird sh#t past my face a moment before it hit my upper chest. I swear the folks next to me started laughing and pointing. And just like that I went from hero to zero :( It's supposed to be good luck though right?! :rolleyes:

    You should've pulled out a gun and shot that bird :cool: . That'd teach all the other birds not to sh*t near a Ferrari.

    hey i think i would rather take the hit rather then the car... should modify the story by saying you saw the birds **** about to hit your car so you jumped out and took the hit lol

    Make no mistake - this bird **** IN a Ferrari :eek: Fortunately I was in the way to absorb it :D

    Anyway I am a waterfowler and upland hunter so I guess it's payback time.

    Those who mocked you were poop-dodgers, and are unworthy.

    But, not you, Sir.

    *God Bless America quietly begins*

    In a test of courage and moral turditude, *God Bless America builds strength* You, Sir, sat in the line of fire for the Team. *God Bless America builds even more strength* And you passed, with flying colors. *God Bless America reaches deafening crescendo* ^Salutes^

    LOL. At least it missed your face. That would have been so gross, I would have vomited.


    Imagine turning towards those people in the car next to you and they see crap on your face. Then you'd really be a zero!

    My uncle has a moustache. The kind of guy that **** happens to just b.c. it can. Driving w.window open there's a flash out the corner of his eye. Something on his moustache makes him lick his lips, runs his tongue over part of his stache and gets a taste of birdsh!t :D The turd hit the door just below the window and splashed up onto his 'stache. I was on the floor lmao.

    "bird turd"....that's good.

    Perhaps you can at least credit the bird for 'high quality target sensibilities.'

    Um, remind me who left that intersection in a Ferrari? I forget? :D

    Well caught though :p Might have been some work to get the mark off the leather otherwise.

    That's another bad thing about the overly long traffic lights.

    The birds certainly seem to go for the shiny cars. In Boston, the birds left my AllTrac alone. But then a shop washed it as part of the service. Instant bird target.

    But the urban birds are getting aggressive (cue Hitchcock) -- they're aiming for the open windows, even on dirty cars. (Fortunately, I had the window up in the EVO.) I've been contemplating a CIWS system for the number of birds around here. ;)

    Old joke: "If the foo sh*ts, ..."

    All the more reason to have shot the f**kin' bird!!


    Don't feel so bad about it, it didn't cost you any $$$ to fix :eek: . About 4 years ago, I had a raccoon cross my path at night, and I was doing about 90 on a nice parkway. That cost me $1500 for a spoiler repair to my TR, and it was a b**ch to clean up at 1:00 a.m. while I was all dressed up in a tux. Animals need to learn that roads are for cars to drive on.
