My company is located near a major league ballpark. So we contract with
a company that parks cars in our unused spaces on game days. Once, we
noticed one of the cars was covered in flys! There was a whiff of decay
around the trunk area and flys were about one for every6 sq inches. We
debated calling the cops in case there was a body in the trunk. After
exami ng the car more thoroughly, there was more stink and more flies
toward the front and underneath. Whatever that guy hit, it left quite a
bit of protein on his car!

hah!

There was a pic of a subaru with a bee swarm nestled in the hood scoop.
And there have been several pics of bird strikes.

Hm. You'd be hard pressed to find someone who *hasn't* hit a skunk around
here, or at least run over one someone else has already done in!

I really hate it when I hit any animal and would do whatever I could to
avoid it - not enough to run off the road or cause an accident - but within
sensible limits, I'll hit the brakes pretty hard or take evasive action.

 I try to listen to Car Talk on NPR, since they always interesting
calls, and some about animals being hit by or In cars, or chewing on
them. One about a rodent hidding kibble in the ventilation system, and
it spilling out ever time the driver hit the gas was pretty funny.
Another about trying to keep goats from climbing on the roof, the guy
left the hood and truck lid open, so they chewed on the wires under
the hood.((

A friends wife had a rat pop out from the cowling where the wipers
were hidden on an older GM car, and was driving with it running around
on the hood. She called her husband on her cell to tell him, and he
couldn't stop laughing.

 I have Afghan hounds, the ones with the LONG hair. They are hunting
dogs but Usually Completely Ignore Birds. One had 30 Canadians around
it, and just Stood there as they circled around her and started to
Goose her, I called her, and she spotted a mammal and took off after
it, down the bank through bushes. It must have gone to ground, since
she lost it. I tried to continue the entertainment, so threw pebbles
away from where she was looking. She looked up as I was throwing one,
and quit chasing the sounds.

One must have been bored, because he took off after about 75 geese,
and they went into the water. He Dove in after them, and the breed
Doesn't usually like water, though he couldn't catch them. He came out
Dripping of Rotted Leaves, and my Tan slacks, and the Blue Velore
interior of the car were streaked in Black.((

One chased squirrels up the trees in the fall, and they started
dropping acorns on us, which drove the hound crazy reacting to the
sounds of the corns hitting fallen leaves, she was spining around.

 I saw a squirrel sitting in a leafless tree, 18" from a hawk. Must
have known the hawk couldn't manuver to get it. Also saw 2 Pigeons
Chasing a Hawk. Probably had a nest they were protecting, but it was
really funny, and no one believes me.))

Hit two pigeons once while going 70 MPH on I-94 (legal speed in MI).
Landed in front of my car so no chance to avoid them.  Just heard a
thump and saw feathers fly over the windshield.

Non animal story - was driving by a park and saw some tennis ball
bounce in front of my sube and continued on.  I did notice some kid
shrug his shoulders but didn't think much of it.     A few days later
I noticed the tennis ball was wedged in the grill.  Left it in there
until I visited a bud with a dog.  Figured the tennis ball accumulated
quite a few smells in its travels, but the dog didn't care much about
it LOL.
