While driving down the freeway last night, I observed that my hood seemed to be bouncing a little too much. "Hmm," I thought to myself, "I wonder if that hood is about to pop open and slam into my windshield while I'm driving at about 55 mph with motorcycles on the left of me and cars on the right of me?"
Well, actually, I managed to think, "Hmm, I wonder if that hood..." before that's exactly what it did.
The whatdoyoucallit that goes into the latch had lost both its screws. The whatdoyoucallit was still latched firmly into the latch. It just came completely free of the hood.
It didn't break the windshield at all, though. It just scared my friend talking on the phone half to death. I managed to slow down and get over the shoulder without further incident. Gadzooks.
