I wonder if the Porker or the bird was going fastest?

I bet this was a surprise to the driver.

OR - was it a Chiken race?

Ironicallly, I've seen these shots on other popular boards today. The driver had to have been going seriously fast (150MPH+?) in order for a fowl to punch such a precise hole through concave high-impact glass like that. Just imagine the potential for a fatality if that bird went straight into the driver's face at those speeds.

Lucky thing that the Boxster driver apparently walked away with a fresh, free lunch.

had the bird been wearing a helmet it would have survived.

Ouch! That's Harsh
Ironically again, I actually know Fabio and will mention this Boxster pic. He does have a sense of humor!

I seen a 993 Turbo durin the players run hit a bird at 165mph, it made a spyder and some glass and feathers/blood went in side but it did not enter the cabin. Im thinking the boxer was doing faster then 150+

Just out of curiosity. I wouldn't even want the car after that. Would the insurance company total that or just pay to clean it?
