Not long ago i was in my buddies car doing 120mph as indicated on the speedo, in a pack of cars, when his cheap *** cf hood broke through the pins and came up and shattered the windshield. Shot the rear view mirror like it was a bullet! ... we just tossed the hood on the side of the freeway and drove home. with a shattered windshield.

so your hood was only being held by the latch?



was the latch at least fully locked?

No latch, just pins. Pins only do something if they're clipped.
