If the hood doesn’t open backwards, it’s not a real sports car. #Truth

Not sports cars. No backwards hood. #Science

Backwards to convention tho

So if it’s rear engined and it’s hinged closest to the bumper, would that mean its opening forwards or backwards?

What if you open the hood and there’s no engine?

It opens in the direction most sporty

Still backwards, still sports car.

But the MR2 has the “hood” hinged the same way as it is on that Datsun up top but then it’s in the back, so is it backwards for mid/rear engined cars?

So no engine under the hood, and the hatch opens backwards. Does that make it more sports car?

Perfect example of a 240z, still has to prop up the hatch, ha ha.

You could get it with a V8, so totally.

Half that sentence makes no sense, but I agree anyway because…

…You know, sports cars.

The hood agrees but the tire sidewall disagrees.

My grandfather had one and I always wondered why they made the hood open backwards

Wait....because the rear trunk/engine hood opens backwards, AND the front ‘frunk’ opens backwards to convention as well - I declare the FIAT 126 the sportiest sports car of all time!
