A family we know had a large bird come through their windshield (a van, not a Porsche), and in all seriousness, when the car was being restored/detailed, they found an intact egg sitting in the center console. The bird literally exploded on impact and took all the impact, saving the egg. So, in those "egg drop" contests, where you have to build some sort of protective housing for the egg, nothing beats a bird...

The other amusing note is that the insurance company wanted to know if the bird was alive before hitting the windshield. Is there any way to know that? Are they implying it makes a difference in coverage if it was dropped off an overpass or shot out of the air, as opposed to just flying into your car?
