I hate birds
 
Well to top off all the bird poo that has been left on my car the last week today I was coming home from church and was running about 80mph when a stupid bird decided to play chicken with my windshield. Needless to say the car won, but in the process he broke part of my windshield trim on the passenger side. :evil: Where do I get replacement trim at? Why don't the darn birds just stay in the air where they belong.

I found the replacement trip at www.buy-oem-parts.com for 44 bucks. Seems like alot of money just for a stupid piece of plastic trim moulding. :evil: Looks like it's junkyard time.

No kidding. I drove 200 miles yesterday on country roads and birds would swoop down in front of the car and one missed the windshild by a foot. The person in front of me had the same problem and was not as luckey.

I've had a few close encounters with large birds. Ask BonneMe, he was behind me both times. A turkey once, and an owl the second time.

That reminds me, last June when I was coming back from Canada a big bird hit my windshield. I don't know what kind of bird it was other than brown and the size of a large duck. It also left a big greasy smear. :ack:

yeah, wait until you plant a pheasant in the lower bumper opening. That definitely opens eyes when you pull into to tech inspection at the drag strip (don't ask). :roll:
