Same thing happened to a buddy of mine before. Scared the shit out of him.

That's hilarious. I am always afraid I didn't close my hood.

[Phatmiata]

I think he DID close his hood. He is a local member, I will see if he can chime in..........

Had that happen to me 25 years ago in a 67' F-150. Not a good feeling, especially since it was my buddies truck.
You can scrunch down to look ahead if anyone is wondering.

Never forgot to close it :lol:

Hood latch did not have a catch lock (from previous accident). So when It failed.. it failed with no fail safe.

I have a feeling my AWR engine mounts had something to do with it actually.. Which is hilarious.

What i dont understand is when people install hood pins but take out there hood latch???

[RoadsterTech]

Weren't there two of you in the car at the time??? both of you were way too quiet!
so cool under pressure!

[Phatmiata]

how would an AWR engine mount lead to this???

I had something not as severe as this happen. Apparently my Koyo oem radiator replacement is about 1/8inch taller than the oem one. My jackson racing intake made slight resistance contact with the hood. When I closed the hood I guess it just barely latched. I got on the highway for miatas at the gap last year. Hood popped up, but the safety latch caught it. Scared the piss out of me. I have since adjusted the jackson racing intake to fit better.
