Haha Yes, he was like a fish out of water.

Driving to school in my buddies 1979 Ford Grenada and saw a bird swoop down in front of the car. Never thought anything else of it for a couple days. Turns out it was stuck headfirst in the grill.

Holy Mackerel! It's good it didn't break the windshield.

I've hit two, well one actually ran into me driving home from work one night driving my demo, at least it wasn't my car.

My dad was riding his Triumph 650 back in the day (no helmet) at about 70 mph when he caught a glimpse of a meadowlark. The bird ended up hitting him in the forehead. He said he has no idea how he stayed on the bike or how the bike came to a stop upright.

One of my students came to class and said I'm sorry I missed class last week. I hit another deer.

She said she hit 5 in the last 3 years with the same car.

Guy in the back of the class said. "Hey let's go hunting, you can drive."

Craziest thing I had happen was smacking a cat. I'm driving a 97 T-Bird on a major city street, 3 lanes in each direction. A park is on my right, and houses on the other side of the street. At the last second I see a cat come from the park and heading straight for a collision course with me. Never saw a cat move so fast in my life. He was running in leaps and bounds, a good 10 feet per leap. It was too late and too dangerous in traffic for me to lock up the brakes. As I was carefully braking, I hit him with the sloped leading edge of the hood. By now myself and other traffic was stopped. I watched him launch straight up 15 feet in the air and crash land lifeless next to my driver's door. Sorry cat, but I need to move on. As I'm ready to leave, the cat comes to life, and continues leaping across the street into the oncoming lanes, although he was a bit dazed. He ran smack into the driver's door of a stopped car, and slid down the door, just like in the cartoons. Well I figured that did him in. Nope, 30 seconds later, he's back up, and a bit more dazed, but still moving at a pretty good clip. Runs around the car he just hit, and promptly gets run over by another car headed in the same direction,. All I saw was a wadded up ball of cat fur as he tumbled out from under the rear of that car. Surely that did him in. NOPE! Another 30 seconds or so and saw him get up, even more dazed and injured, and the last I saw of him he was running between the houses on the other side of the street. I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes. I pulled over later and inspected my hood. There were 5 vertical parallel dents. I figured shoulder blade, 3 ribs, and a hip. Craziest thing I've ever witnessed. Wish I had a video! I figure he used about 4 of his nine lives that day.

I've hit so many things, mostly at night. It's sad that people don't contain their dogs and really their cats too. In this county the leash laws apply to cats just the same as dogs, but cat owners seem to think their cats are allowed to run loose everywhere. Thank God I've never hit a person, but have seen plenty that have been hit. Most we're intoxicated. The ones that weren't were usually kids who believe they can be seen by drivers. Last one was sitting on skateboard paddling across state roadway at night. Another sad ending to a young life. I guess I threw a real bummer in here.

Never forget the time I was driving, and had my arm on the open window, and a bird pooped right on my forearm. Some kind of seabird because man that stunk like rotten fish!!! Splattered some on the inside of door too.
