Two more kills! lol

Last night I ran down to Orange County to pick up a part for the TII.
I get down there with no problems, pick it up, then hop back on the 57 north towards Pomona.

Well, after driving on the freeway for a while. These headlights keep coming up on me, then backing off. I didn't really pay any attention for the first couple minutes. But as we were turning on a ramp, I knew he wanted to play. He gets right on my ***, a Scion TC, and is revving. Finally we pass the car on his right that was blocking him, I downshift and hold it, and he makes his move. As he's pulling over to the right and flooring it past me, I put the pedal in.

He gets the jump on me at first, but I hit fourth and at around 90mph I started to pull hard. Suddenly, to my left, I see that I was pulling on a black mazda 3 hatch as well
Apparently, he saw he us take off, and decided he wanted to run too. I didn't even notice him. Well, I hit 5th, and had a few cars on both of them, but I heard a pop and saw that my hood was kinda moving. I slowed it down, and the mazda slowed down with me to give me a thumbs up. The TC guy stayed way back after that

I pulled off the next turn and noticed that somehow, a bolt on the hood had come off. Luckily I had the right tool and hooked it right up and made sure it was TIGHT.

Seems like everytime I go down the hill, I always attract a load of attention

I've had my hood literally fly off of my Fc at about 110. I thought it was secure, but you never know when you get up to speeds like that...

So was it just one of the bolts that holds the hood on the hinges?

Once I hit 190-200kms in my 10th Ae my windshield wipers start sliding up my windshield and I stick my hand out the window to try and hold them laughing as I punch it even harder.Every time.I try forcing them back down with the switch but the wind just terrorizes them and they DRAGGGGGGGG.

Yeah, the right hinge. I saw it pop up pretty bad. The 3 wanted to go again, but I had to pull over and fix it before it flew off.
