(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) That funny only because it wasn't me!

Good save from what could have been a total loss! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/piratenanner.gif) Apparently 914 windshield not designed for 100 MPH in reverse! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Hopefully suspension is OK!

Looked like you got some serious cowl flex that might have let trim come off and then wind got under a lip?

Was it recently installed? Butyl tape or Urethane?


Once told by our SCCA World Challenge champion driver that there are 3 types of crashes in racing:
1) The crew is going to be mad cleaning the grass, mud or gravel off the car.
2) The crew is going to be P*!!&d repairing the damage to the car.
3) Oh S*** this is going to hurt!
