There's been a dead racoon on the roadside for about a week on my way home from work. It's stop and go in that area and I always seem to get stopped beside the poor deceased, and now very stinky, fellow.

Hardtop installed and driving about 70 ish on I-80 going home. Passenger window cracked open about 1" when a rock flew in bounced somewhere on the "secret compartment" and smacked me in the back of the head!! WTF??

Another instance of this in another one of my cars. I was driving to work in the morning through a local rock quarry with all windows rolled up. YUP!! NOT SH!TTING YOU windows rolled up!! I knew little rocks would be hitting the underside of my car Starlet (hatchback). I had recently pulled the drain plug (2 " in diameter) in the trunk area since my car leaked water because of bad tail light gaskets. But anyways I was driving to work when I heard all the rocks bouncing under the car when I heard "tink, tink, tink... ouch!!" WTF?? The rock hit me in the forehead!! Keep in mind my car was totally stipped of carpetting and back seats so it was possible for this to happen. I found the rock later and it was about pea sized. I got to work and my coworker said "wassup with the hindu dot?" I said you'll never guess.

Was driving maybe 25, 30 at most at a local road when a bird from a block away slowly flew into my direction and landed on the lane only to be introduced to the bottom of my S.

It was kind of funny how the feather's poofed up into the sky when I glanced at the rear view mirror.

My stupid parking pass flew out of mine, $40 for a new one.
I opened my secret compartment while driving and something flew out, paper for sure. probably something important since it was in the "secret compartment"


other than that, a tennis ball was thrown into my car from distance. pretty good throw if you ask me. at the time it wasn't too funny though.
