Default I hit a bird in flight today...
The damn thing swooped out of a tree when I was going 50mph and bounced off my hood. It left a nice little paint chip (about half the size of a dime) right above my grille. Oh well... RIP birdy.

Default Hah... one more reason to have a front-end cover.
Just kidding... to each his own.

Sorry to hear about the paint.

Default reminds me of the hawk that shattered the A6's wind shield
