Scariest driving moment of my life....Added image of new hood!

[ADrugDealer]

Was heading down my highway at 55 Mph, noticed my hood sorta bounced then the next second it flipped up, cracking my windshield, denting my roof and scaring the piss out of me.

Got a junkyard hood, hinge, and arm assembly, need to get it painted and the dents fixed but thats not going to be for a few weeks.



Ill get a picture of the current hood later

[Scottydoggs]

thats got to blow for sure.

[ericspecullaas]

you sir got lucky that you didnt hit anyone. glad your ok. sucks about your hood tho

[REDCRAPGP]

Damn son.

See what happens when you paint rally stripes on it.. Bad things happen

[ADrugDealer]

Yeah was not fun.

[ADrugDealer]

Damn son.

See what happens when you paint rally stripes on it.. Bad things happen

Well, I am pretty sure they are coming off now :P

[REDCRAPGP]

High five

[ADrugDealer]

I will get them back

[Alix0r]

Those rally stripes added to much drag on the hood so that's why it flipped up!





... but seriously damn glad your ok that's crazy!

[ADrugDealer]

haha yeah, all that drag.

[TheDarkAngel]

Dude....I can't even imagine how terrifying that would be. Glad to hear you're alright!

[BillBoost37]

Will you be replacing the pee stained seat as well?

[ADrugDealer]

haha leather, easy clean up

[ADrugDealer]

and lets be honest here, the stripes wernt the culprit. The turbo is just too VTEC YO and just VTECHed the hood right off the car. VTECHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ......

wait wat? 0.o

I'd be a little concerned over why the hood flipped on you...did you not have it latched, or did the latch fail? What happened?

[REDCRAPGP]

Nope the stripes definitely were the cause

[ADrugDealer]

I think I didn't properly latch it and the safety failed. I had to modify it for the intercooler so I replaced it and its all good now. works much better.

[ADrugDealer]

Nope the stripes definitely were the cause

Naw, Im going with VTEC yo

[TheDarkAngel]

Stripes caused the hood to want to fly up because they promoted so much speed. It just wanted to fly.

[loopy smurf]

Maybe the motor just wanted to show itself off...it wants you to run without a hood so everyone can bask in the glory of your motor...
