bird vs. porsche
wonder how fast this dood was going? I bet he was cooking, but a bird could prolly do this to an xB doing 50...(prolly be the other way around...'xB do this to a bird'...)

I think it was a tie.

I didn't think the Boxter was capable of going fast enough for a bird to go clear through the windshield and land on the rear window like that. Either that or they faked it, but I don't see why anyone in their right mind would fake something like that and ruin a perfectly good car.

That is crazy.. What kind of bird was it? Cant tell that great from the pick.. Looks like a duck or something? What ever it was, I have a few questions about it..
1. Why would a bird of that size be flying that low to the ground?
2. Why would a bird of that size be near public road ways flying that low?
3. How would the bird impact just right to go through the window & not get bounced over the slope of the windshield like most bugs do? I know the mass of the bird, but it would have to probably been coming down at like a 25* angle from the sky to the car to break.
4. Would his insurance pay for that or is he SOL?
I have seen pics of small birds getting stuck in a windshield ie: there beak breaks through the glass but they dont have enough mass to make it past that.. Thats over all crazzy & I probably would have ran off the road & into a tree or something, just from getting the crap scared out of me from that kind of impact.

My dad while in a high speed chase on Hwy101 one night punched an huge owl through the windshield and wasn't doing but about 100 (and continued the chase and caught the runner too!)
doesn't take much to go through the glass. ask all the people who go OUT the windshield in low speed wrecks - had someone do it in a culvert right in front of the house on a tight curve - couldn't have been doing more than 20-25.

2. They do.... they hang around cornfields, and alot of the time cornfields are built right up to the road.
3. Theyre big damn birds. I wouldnt want to find out. That Porsche had to be going fast with a rake angle of that windshield Im guessing.
4. Most will for animal damage. Unavoidable. Pay deductable, and you're okay.
The thing that baffles me, is that I thought Ring neck pheasants were sole to the North American and Asia. The plate throws me on this. Maybe it was just not a registred car, or maybe I just dont know where pheasants are. They probably are in other countries, I just didnt know.
