My buddy told me he could get up to 100 mph in ten seconds one time in another life, well he got to nearly 90 and the hood come up and put the Oldsmobile Starfire hood ornament right down thru the roof. He had to drive around quite a while without a hood! Fortunately, it was summertime so he already had the window down so he could stick his head out to see where he was going!
