Slk55 Renntech vs ...

Okay, I just had to post this.

Last friday I was on the highway around 9:30pm (in the slow lane) and I hit and killed a ****ING OWL!

I haven't seen a real live owl except in a freaking zoo and I get the misfortune to hit one on a highway. This stupid bird was standing in the middle of the slow lane. As I see it ... I see it turn it's head toward me and boom. Feathers flying out the rear.

I have raced many owls at the track and I call bull****e. The owl with the E gear and quad turbo engine traps at 359mph.
