So yesterday I decided to put some new tie rod ends on the mustang. The manual rack came with a set but because of the SN95 spindles they where a bit too shot for my taste. They only left me a half of an inch of threads, that might have been enough but it always worried me when I would drive it.

I got the new ones installed and did the alignment with a tape measure and got it as close as I could. I decided to take it for a ride. I was headed down 22nd AVE toward the mall I was surprised how close I got the alignment on the fist try. At this point I did a u-turn and headed back home, I’m still having cooling issues and I didn’t want to get to far from home, this is when things got eventful. I haven’t driven the car in quite some time so like we all do I decided to beat the crap out of it. I down shifted into first and got in the right lane to pass some slow cars and I hammered it! Soon as I hit 3rd the hood started wobbling crazy flew up smacked the shit out of my windshield and ripped off. It scared the living shit out of me. At this point I look in the review mirror wondering where in the fuck is my hood and I see a row of traffic stopped including the cars I blasted past a newer Allero accompanied by a lowered primered CRX in the other lane. I’m not sure how high that son of a bitch went but 5 seconds later it hasn’t landed yet. Well the hood finally came down close the the side of the road. This must have really irritated the guy in the CRX because he gave me the burnout accompanied buy the usual ricer fly by.

I would have loved to see it from there point of view I bet they where laughing there asses off.



Besides the damage to the car the shit was hilarious. Anyone have a hood forsale?
