Camaro vs a bird - and the Camaro wins
Exiting the highway this morning, I saw a bird heading to fly infront of me. I was thinking he would move like birds always do but....well....he didn't and I smacked the little sucker heading atleast 50 mph. I mean I hit him hard enough that I felt and heard the thump. Pulled over into a parking lot to survey the damage.... I'm thinking anywhere from a big dent to a bird-filled hole in the front end. To my shock....NOTHING! Not even a scratch!
Thank you Oshawa for making my baby bird resistant  !

I'm pretty sure I read a story of a guy who hit a deer in his Camaro, he had no damage on his car.

Same thing happened to me. not a scratch to the paint, but the bird stuck in the lower grill and crack the air dam on the back side of bumper. Popped the grill back in and as good as new!!

Wasn't there a picture last year when the cars were first coming out of someone on the board who had a bird actually get stuck in the grille area?
