Default Birds & Silver S2Ks

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone else who owns a Silver S2K has noticed that birds don't seem to see it coming!! I have about 350 miles on mine and been hit once by a bird and twice have been right on top of them before they move. This morning almost got another one. They just sit in the road like they don't see it. Now have my first dings. Two chips knocked out of the bumper just above headlight lens. Hit it hard enough it put a ding in the lens right where it meets the bumper. Yeck. Just wondering if I am lucky or what

I don't think the problem is limited to S2ks. . . My Prelude (also Silver) attracted birds, rabbits, groundhogs, etc. . . And if it wasn't for my HIDs my S2000 would probably have hit 2 deer. . .

I've driven a silver car for the past 3.5 years with no furry or feathered victims. Maybe you shouldn't be driving so fast thru the zoo.

From your post title I was expecting that you have a problem with the bird droppings.

I am pretty sure silver cars make their digestive organs work faster too. This explains why every car in the parking lot is clean while mine looks like it has been chosen as modern art car.

Damn those birds and goose.

I haven't hit any birds, but I've been hit by bird droppings while driving with the top down. I always see it on the front windshield. So far, no droppings inside. I think the air turbulence around the cockpit prevents it from getting in.
