sounds funny as shit tho
I found a rabbits ear lodged in my brake caliper once. Thought it would be funny to throw it at my (then) girlfriend, I got into a lot of trouble, but totally worth it. :D

Had a pheasent neck just lodged in my front grill one night getting in...
Gotta feel sorry the flies though. Second they hit the bumper or windscreen, their brains are going out their arses...

I once collided with a pigeon on the perfect trojectory. It swooped down over a hedge and splattered on my windscreen. Left a greasy mark where it hit and when I looked in the rear view mirror there were just pigeon feathers fluttering back down to earth.
Bloody vermin.

LOL how can a mouse even get into a tyre?!
Edit: Actually thought about it, I suppose when the tyres on the wheel but deflated its prime nesting spot!

windscreen on the motorway...

That's mental! :D
I seen something in nuts (I think) years ago, bloke in a Porsche doing 160 hit a pheasant iirc? Went through window between two seats an was obliterated, lucky it was between or it would have killed someone, car was a clip lol
Same issue had a bloke that hit a squirrel, drove miles home, went in the house and came out hours later to find a living squirrel poking head first out of lower grill.. He then took several more hours to carefully take the car apart to remove it still alive lol

Two days after having a new windscreen put in the work van, after I smashed the old one, a pheasant flew from behind a hedge and swooped straight into my windscreen whilst doing 60, and completely cream crackered that windscreen too
Needless to say, the boss wasn't too happy with me for the next few days...

On xmas day one morning, tanking down a5, hit what looked like a bird of prey as I came over the brow of a hill, was just hovering and hit the top off my window, glancing blow. Went back but there were just a load of feathers and no sign of the bird. Like to think it was ok.
I remember chasing a dog off my mates drive once and it ran sraight out into the road and got ran over. Some lad walked out of pub from across the road, touched its eye ball then dragged it to the verge and dumped it, then walked back in!

My mate had a focus a while back, sat idle on the drive for about 6 months with no plugs/coils on it. Came to sell it and stuck new plugs in, tried to fire it up, horrible noise and it was running on three cylinders.
he ended up having the head off to find the skeleton of a small mouse in one of the cylinders, must have gone through the spark plug hole and got stuck.

That reminds me of an issue of classic American I read years ago
Barn find of some old hot rod with a v8, tried to fire it up and it was totally locked up, after stripping it apart they found the cylinders on one side to be filled with nuts, an squirrel or chipmunk had been running up the exhaust pipes, up the headers and into the cylinders through the open exhaust valves and storing it's nuts in the engine :D
Had pics to prove, there was fucking loads of them, after they put it back together it was fine

If it doesn't blink its dead. Guy dragged it off the road to keep the road safe, no point leaving it there. I guess he would have used a different action if it blinked.
