Driving to work this morning, I hit a small bird in mid flight and when I got to work, I saw that it was stuck in my grill still flapping around. I got a stick and was able to help free it and it flew away. Thought it was pretty funny. laugh.gif

I was riding with my parents to Orlando in their Ford Expedition. When we pulled into the hotel, a group of people were standing outside and started laughing at us. We had apparently hit a seagull at some point and it was stuck in the front grill, wings stretched out. It looked like it was placed there intentionally, like an Aflac duck.

In my old car I was driving from Uni back home, for the later end of the trip (only an hour) i could smell a really wierd smell.

When I got home, I was unpacking and realised that there was a Squirrel stuck behind my grill and wedged against my radiator.

Pigeon slammed into my grill going about 50mph. Blood and feathers inside the engine bay. Had to pry him out of the hole cause he was in there good.

got a black bird of some kind stuck in the tibs upper grill. I think it was a crow but I'm not sure.

I saw it swoop in front of the tib and watch for it in the rear view but didn't see it. huh.gif Thought, must have missed it, and drove the rest of the way to grandma's. We got there and were unloading when I saw something black sticking out of the grill. I think it broke it's neck soooo it didn't fly away or anything... tossed it into the field.

edit: you must have a sharp grill jon, I was doing at least 50 and it just jambed in there.

hahahahahaha i remember that

i think i have the convo somewhere ill have to look at the logs later

mine was a finger

yes a human finger

a few years back a lady jumped off a bridge in front of a semi that was right next to me

cops pulled a finger out of my grill then proceeded to try to arrest me for leaving the scene of a accident (had my 6 or 7 year old niece in the car and didnt want her to know wtf happened, so i kept driving, its not like me sticking around wouldve saved her life or something)

When I had my Cutlass, a truck kicked something up at me I thought it was a rock, but in fact it was a half eaten Milky Way stuck in the grill.
