Listen to this one: Yesterday, I finally got my draglites on my car. Before I put them on, I had to get a set of lugs and since I was going to pep boys anyway, I figured I might as well get two bolts to hold on my hood latch. I just got my mach 1 hood painted red and the stock ones looked really shabby so, i figured I would get new ones. Upon returning, I put all four rims on and my buddy and I hopped in my car to go to the local gas station to get some air. Halfway in 2nd gear my hood comes FLYING up and slams back. I stop and pull over. I fricking forgot to put back the latch for my hood...I am such a idiot! My new hood has a 3" scratch in it from hitting the wipers and my black grille is smashed and that front panel is dented in. I cant believe that I forgot the latch, I got so excited about my rims that I left it sitting there in the garage. My car WAS in excellent condition...does anyone know if that panel comes off? It looks like it is part of the body. I know you guys are probally laughing your asses off, but I figured if I posted it, hopefully no one would make the same idiotic mistake.
