1 idiot needs a HOOD!

Well, funny thing happened to me the other day. After doing the ATF trick, I left my hood pins out! In my rush to get my smoking 7 out the cul-de-sac, I neglected to put the pins back in!

Well, the hood flew up at about 80 mph, destroying it and donig $1,500 in damage to the rest of the car!!!!!!

SO, anyone got a hood for sale?!?!? Black, white, or Blaze Red (original color), and very little dings would be nice! Paint condition DOES NOT MATTER, as it will get repainted anyway! Thanks guys!!!! Please e-mail me: rico05@tamu.edu if you got a hood!!!

Oh yeah, my ride is a 1991 n/a, so a TII hood is not necessary, but would look cool!

The ATF trick worked well, but now I need a hood, so it really wasn't worth it!

I know someone who did that to his third gen. lucky him all he did was bend the corners of the hood.

Sorry to hear about that.

How many hood pins did you have?

BTW, Jef probably used this web site, or something else like it:

Dont feel too bad, its happened, I did it on my 1991 S-10 a few years back, and it smashed the windshield, bent the roofline and a pillars, and the hinge hole thingies were totally F**ked not to mention the hoot was dead too. I did this at about 60mph on the highway
