Its wingspan was literally similar to mine and was more than 75% the width of my entire car. It just swooped out of the trees and started flying down the road at windshield level with me following it. It was maybe going 30mph and was so close that I could see the movement of its feathers. After about 5 seconds, it diverted up and off to the right allowing me to pass.

one of those huge things once took off my dad's truck's passenger side mirror, effectively killing itself in the process

Owls are wise.
Last night, I was driving on a road around 10:45pm last night when the yellow Pontiac G5 in front of me almost mowed down a pack of deer. There were three or four of them and I saw them a good 10 seconds before he even got near them just kinda chilling in the middle of the street. He just kept driving full speed and I was thinking, "Man this guy is going to hit them." He got within about 25 feet of them and just slammed on the brakes and swerved into the next lane with oncoming traffic heading towards him on the other side of a small hill. From that point on, he drove as much as 15 under the speed limit.
