D*mn, that sucks pretty bad. Did you have hood pins? I probably would've been so pissed at the time I would have just wrecked the car off the road. Just kidding, I would be pissed though. What brand hood was it / any pics of the damage?

Also, I've never had that much damage happen to my occur (knock on wood) but I did wake up one morning to go to starbucks. After I got my coffee I went to set it on the roof of my car to unlock the door and realized someone threw a large brick or rock and dented right above the window on the roofs corner. I wish it would have just went through the window like it was probably supposed to

My hood flew up, smashed the cowl pannel, dinted the roof, wrecked the hood and some other crap. The damage was at over $2400, luckely my insurance paid for everything.
