test drive leads to disaster (pics)

[Kabuki_notch]

So, someone came to look at my GT today and I took him for a test ride he asked to look at the engine so I opened the hood. Then he wanted to go for a ride thats when the disaster took place, first off I am glad this was a side street. So I was doing mabey 20mph and I stomped on it, however I forgot one little thing, good old MR. HOOD PIN. the carnage ensued. The hood stands straight up and smashes the cowl, dents the area next to the cowl and chips the fiberglass hood, some how by gods grace the hood slammed down perfectly into the hood pin holes and caused no further damage, lesson of the story dont forget those hood pins and use a latch as well

I almost ***** my pants when it flew up the kid i was with was in awe, I guess I am fortunate the hood stayed together and only scratched it, it was a horrible expierence nonetheless

He's asking 7K for it... after that happened.. the kid was probably like "I'll give you 4K cash right now" LMAO

IF you think that is bad, a friend of mine has done that twice. Once one year ago on a Dyno day. Once the following year at the same Dyno day....


Edit: I left out "ago"

Prior to both dyno pulls, he was showing off his stuff. Took the car out on the street to warm up everything and came back with a busted windshield. TWICE!

I figured as much, I was just being a smartstrype

Look at the good side.. You did NOT destroy the cowl panel, it can be fixed... You can have it up and looking like new for 1000 bucks... Then add it into the price... Your car is extremely nice.. There is SOMEONE out there willing to pay 8-9K for it... You just gotta wait for them to find you.
