Actually be careful he doesn't start attacking/scratching the beautiful car. Sometimes these dominant turkeys see their reflection and mistake it for another turkey and aggressively scratch/attack.

A few years ago my parents had turkeys pecking at the shiny brass kick plate on their front door at sunrise. They turkeys thought they were rivals. Took about a week of opening the door and throwing water at them to make them stop.
