Wow what some guy will do to convince there wife's they need a NASA hood.
All kidding aside, Holly Crap Doc! Glad to see your OK. I had the same thing happen to me when I was 16. I had a 74 Pinto with a 302 in it and the radiator sat where the hood latch was. The car only had hood pins. One day I pulled the hood pins to check the oil at the same time my mom yelled to me that I had a phone call. So not thinking I ran for the phone. Well after a half hour phone call with the girlfriend out the door I go. Well about 3 house up the road WHAM the hood was in the windshield. The car had a snorkel hood scoop and it didn't take much to fly up. The hood scoop broke the windshield. I was only doing about 30-35 when it flew up. I can't imagine doing 90.:huh:
