This is a kangaroo who took on a Holden Commodore and lost

Ouch, reminds me of the video of the racing monaro that nailed a kangaroo on a track....it was gruesome.

LOL didnt hear about that, but recently during Bathurst (enduro race over here) someone hit a kangaroo doing some ridiculous speed, but the TV station wouldnt play replays of it :(

I was thinking the same thing. I remember seeing something like that in Michigan a few years back. You know how when you go on a long trip and have tons of bugs in the grille? Well I saw a humming bird in the front grille of a pickup...kina sad.

I hit a crow once, while cleaning it off at home, I found a piece of it's beak lodged in the radiator! Very messy bird strikes are!

Had a 65 Barracuda that was a bird magnet. Hit 2 in less than a year. Barracuda 2, birds 0.

My first car was a truck, One day a buck and a dough ran out in frount of me. I hit them both, :( They both didn't make it, :( I had to but a new front end for my truck. :( I bured the deer. :(

you think hitting a little bird with your car is bad. You should see the testing we do with 4-8lb birds at 500 MPH. Talk about an impact.

Ouch, don't have to worry about them here!

Crows arent that little you know, you probably call them "blackbirds" or something lol then again, crows dont usually fly at 500mph

Reminds me of the time the railroad was testing there windshields. They borrowed a gun, made to shoot geese at speeds of over 150 mph. They lined it up with the windshield and fired. The goose went through the windshield, through the engineers seat, and lodged into the back of the cab. Confused, they went to the maker of the gun and ask why this happened. After reveiwing the data, they sugested next time they thaw the goose.
