My '99.... lol Now that im officially a REAL member of this LS1 site, here's my new car and the long story of my short term of ownership.
I bought it for about $7,000. Its a '99 with about all options, A4 trans, and *gasp* 144K miles. I had wanted to sell my '97 and use the money to buy an LS1 car and make a hotrod out of it eventually. I kinda wanted something like a water damage car or a light wreck to start with but I got hasty and bought this one, the first Monday of the month.

And then this happened. I left the lot about 3pm that Monday and this happened about 6:30 the following Wedensday. Someone fixed that hood before who shouldnt be doing bodywork. That cardboard is no illusion.
The dealer did, however, give me a fairly decent black hood and a windshield but it hasnt shown up yet.
The car doesnt have the guages cause they didnt work.

So goes life, lol.

Did you wreck when the hood flew open or something? Not sure what happened, looks like the hood came apart, but the interior ****, rear quarter, etc, more details dude. I would be getting a lawyer or something for that ****!

No I didnt wreck (somehow or another, lol). The dents in the quarter panels, 3 in all, are just from the hood seperating as it hit the windshield and then flew down each side of the car. There was a lot of odd looking filler in the parts of the hood where someone had fixed it and that filler added a loooot of weight in certian parts. I think its that, that helped shatter the t-tops. Luckily I was unhurt.
I would def be calling a lawyer about that.

Looks famaliar to mine...
It's a long story that i'll make short. i forgot to put the hood latch on... i rolled my freshly repaired car out of the paint shop, wet sanded and buffed it, everything was good so i was like ahhh hell ill take it down the road real quick... forgot the hood latch was not on the hood til it came up into the windshield. So, it tour up the hood, windshield, 2 fenders, and the hinges! big time f*ck up! so lots more fiberglass work and it looks good as new
