Ya' wanna talk noise and resistance? My wife and I were driving the sedan
version of the EVC (Audi 4) at about 60 mph when an American Coot (Fulica
americana, not Homo sapiens) launched itself from a roadside ditch into my
driver's side mirror. Such a noise! The mirror deflected but the innards of
the mirror and the coot were everywhere.
Moral: if you visit a waterfowl refuge try to keep the speed down, or you
might have to eat a $200 coot dinner.

PS: coot doesn't taste as good as $200 worth of *anything*
PPS: I wasn't in a refuge, but close to one.
