Damn birds. First they shit on your car, now you run into them and they put blood everywhere.

Gee, this situation seems familiar.

That third picture, thats what my hood and windshield looked like before I washed it off. If that bird had been about a foot to the left... I think it's some global conspiracy, birds making kamikaze attacks on motorists world wide.

What's even more disgusting is that the car is an automatic.

You noticed that too? How many more years before you can't even get a new car with a manual? A real manual, not that clutchless so-my-too-lazy-to-learn-wife-can-drive-it crap.

An auto with the sport chrono package. Seems like those options are at odds. Oh, those Russians.

every gotten to drive one of those? They're the future--- i like them in the twisties better than my real manual.

That thing's uber messed up. I wonder what the driver's face looked like.

I've driven shiftable autos and hated them. I like a clutch pedal-my left foot likes to dance and occasional left-foot braking isn't enough exercise to offset my right foot's constant heavy flexing. I wouldn't buy a Ferrari if they sold it for $25k if it were an auto. I'd rather have a slow car with a manual than a fast car with an auto unless it's the same size or bigger than the second generation Dodge Chargers (and only because the clutches on those are too cumbersome for traffic) and anything bigger would be a luxury car and wouldn't fit the character (like a '56 Cadillac, early '60's Continental, or '67 Cadillac hearse). If I'm going to be saddled with the archaic internal combustion engine, then I want an archaic transmission to match. That and I'd eventually be walking like a gimp for the mismatch in exercise between legs. Hell, it would upset my Ch'i and throw everything out of balance long before then.

Driving without a clutch to me is like screwing a blow-up doll with a condom and a dental dam through the reputed Mormon-style hole in the sheets.

so we're on the same page.. im talking about the type with a computer controlled clutch, like smg or selespeed. Clutchless= dog poo, i agree.

They still don't have a clutch pedal. Might as well have the computer drive the whole thing.

wouldn't that be AWESOME?!?!

Holy crap! At least the driver has dinner tonight. Poor bird

I've heard of a dish called "Pheasant Under Glass"

Damn. Through the winshield.

I have a video of a turbo viper hitting a bird at 160. It's wild! Feathers everywhere! The bird got sandwiched in the weather strip above the winshield. Totally badass.

where is that video??

There was a road race from one end of Mexico to the other in the 1950s.

The Mercedes gull-wing coupes were so fast on the straights that vultures didn't have time to lift off from a road-kill feast.

Buzzards at 125mph or so - ugh -so the crew installed longitudinal bars up the wind screens.

Didn't do the birds any good but the fix saved the drivers.

I never noticed that it was an auto, guess the carnage grabbed my eye. I feel the ame way about a Ferrari. If Ican't have a clutch pedal, forget about it. Thats why I've like the badass Porsches. Icould spend $200k on one and it'd still be a true manual.

Ya i noticed it was automatic ghey. Sucks to be that bird.
