Interesting :ROFLMAO: Typically on a car restoration site it would be removing a grill from a Bobcat. :ROFLMAO: (though at least it was a Ford product)

A couple years ago we 'hit' a seagull and it got it's wing caught in the grill of Mrs. JP's mini - I used my foot to get it out and it flew off uninjured but man was it wizzed and let us know!
 
A LOOOOOONG time ago I was driving home from work and what looked like a leaf got stuck under my windshield wiper.
I had to pull over to get it out and discovered it was a little bat.
Good thing I had a pair of leather gloves in the car and also a shoe box.
When I got home I showed it to my wife and we decided we should make a cage and see if it was injured.
That night it made quite a racket, but appeared healthy, so we released it the next day.
 
I once "tripped" a bird in flight with the Alpine. Was headed down the road and it took off from the side and came across in front. Didn't quite get high enough and the top of the windshield clipped it. Heard it go rolling down the top, hit the back of the trunk and land in the road. When I pulled over and looked back it lay there for a moment, then got up, shook it's head and wings, took a couple steps and off into the air. Figured somewhere in there the brain was saying, "what the @^$* was that!!??"...
 
Bird strike!
