My employee and I were bringing cars back from a dealer that we used to do work for . I was in 80's z 28, and he was in a VW Fox. We were ripping up the highway at about 55 mph. I got to the exit, and noticed that he was no longer behind me.
Figuring the car broke down or something, I turned around to go look for him.
About 2 miles back, I find him walking up the side of the highway , carrying the entire hood from that VW. Wind picked it up, and ripped the hinges right from the body . Smashed windsheild, roof, and hood damaged.
He ended up buying the car from the dealer for $200.00, and put barn door hinges on the hood, then drove it as a beater for the next 3 years .
I am extra careful that both latches latch when closing hoods . This happens more than you would think . That second catch does not have much of a chance at speeds over 50 mph.
I've seen this done to a few 911's also.
