Make sure your hood closed before getting on the highway...

been there done that! This is what a fiber glass hood looks like when it flys open. That wasnt a fun day.. 
notice how it was unpainted. That means it was new. And try not to laugh at the couch on its side, weve all had those weekends where the garage looks a little bad...right?

I had something similar happen to me in my Mustang years ago
Cervini 3in cowl hood - I forgot to put the pins back in and within about 3 seconds of getting on the highway, I was driving like Ace Ventura. The cowl, wipers, and wiper motor were shoved 6in into the firewall and there were two baseball-sized dents in the roof above the windshield. Windshield survived but still had to be pulled to fix the dents
