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.

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
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???
Weren't there two of you in the car at the time??? both of you were way too quiet!
so cool under pressure!
You may know me as RAB or BCT or Rick depends on where you look.
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.
Thats why I drive without my hood..............................jj
