Didnt think it'd actually happen to me...

So im driving home from a friends house and i've just gotten onto the freeway and still accelerating....im just driving minding my own business wen all of a sudden this bird flies in front of me going from right to left (passenger side to driver's side) and the BAM!!! i see feathers go flying all over the place as i hit the poor fella with my hood scoop....now luckily for me, i had one of those DIY scoop grills and the bird simply deflected off of it but he also hit my driver's side mirror after the deflection off the scoop....i looked in my mirrors and i think its safe to say it didnt survive...anyways, here are a couple of pics i snapped wen i got home...

Oh ****. That sucks man. Did any blood make it to the IC? You could just clean it with the IC spray.

I gotta install that scoop screen soon.

I almost hit a small rabbit yesterday, he went under my car but when I looked in the rearview he was still running. I guess he made it alive.
