Girlfriend’s hood flew open on the highway. She just got a new windshield today so I did something about the mess that is the rest of the everything. Also, I cleaned the Nissan so I can daily it for the next five days.

A look at the latch revealed the radiator support is bent from a previous accident (I guess) and there’s no way the latch is safe. So I removed it, then grabbed a 4x4 and did some strategic hood-slamming to un-dent the hood. It looked better than the car did when my girlfriend first got it last year.

$10 worth of hood pins at Autozone and the MAGIC OF STEP DRILL BITS and the hood is now solid as a really shitty rock.

Kinja'd!!!

Oh also this thing is still kicking around. I haven’t managed to sell a goddamn thing.

Smells a lot less like mold now. Still a bunch of flakes of baking soda. I ‘ll have to get a stiff-bristle-brush next week and try getting that stuff loose so a vacuum can pick it up. Meh.

I’ve had a hood fly open twice on me. Ones in my 91 civic because no safty latch, and again in a 2002 Jag Type S because I’m an Idoit. The best part was when the Jag’S hood flew open it barley even dented it. People say Jaguars of that era are. Crap, but that hood was tough.

91 civic has no safety latch? Maybe this ‘92 doesn’t, either?

Well, I’m still interested, though I may not have a place to keep it now. I’m trying to get that sorted out. In the meantime, shoot me an e-mail at hoser795@hotmail.com and let me know what you’re looking to get for it. Also, do you think it would make it from your location back to Maryland?
