Ouch bro! I haven't had any close calls yet and then yesterday I am driving a friend around and this damn groundhog is just sitting there. I honked and slowed down and he didn't move. I ended up driving around him at less than 5mph as he just sat in the road staring at us.

Glad your S is ok!

Ducks are better than burros.

Steelers743,

Those feathers look like a pheasant, not a duck. Any bird ppl want to correct me (or the OP)?

I think those are turkey feathers. Yikes.

I hit a racoon the size of a brontosaurus going about 85 in my '88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe (what an awful car) about 20 years ago, and it took the entire front bumper off. Glad you don't have any damage. That could have been bad.

Nice meeting you, by the way. I thought that it was kind of funny that Heather introduced herself to you and started talking to you when she was a newbie herself .

Those are not duck feathers. Turkey or pheasant but not duck.
