Haha, yeah bro the same thing happened on my Ef. Ripping down the highway and the hood blew open, smashed my windshield, snapped a rusted hood hinge so the hood swung over to the drivers side and fucked up my fender and corner light also... I had no other choice but break the other hood hinge and ditch the hood on the side of the highway. The whole front end was pretty mangled :-\ but good thing there was no one else driving aside me at the time :o That was probably the most frightening thing i've had happen.

call your insurance company, (if u have one, lol) and see if your covered.

here in florida, your insurance company is required to replace your winsheild at no charge to you no matter who, why, how or when it was broken.

check into it
