So most of you know I sold my 94 GT Faux in October to a guy in Oregon who had a 6gc in the past and I sold it to him becuase he had seen my car a car show 2 years prior and I was glad to let it go to someone who knew about 6gcs. Well I got a comment today on Myspace from him that the hood wasnt latched when he took it out and now the hood is messed up. Im assuming that it flew up. I havent seen pics but Im super sad now. Hes selling it for 2500 I hear but theres no way I can buy it back but jeeze! Have any of you let go a car to only find out that it got hurt? I know its not mine anymore but I cant help but be sad. It was ok for me to 'F' up the car when I had it but to see someone else accidently hurt it makes me sooooo sad and kinda mad but I know I cant be mad at the owner because well its not my car anymore and it was an accident.

I think the real problem is that when we extend our latch, it can be hard to tell of the hood is open or not, and thats why problems occur. When mine flew up, the hood wasnt shutting right because of a fenderbender i was just in, so i didnt realize it was still popped.

The real gt4 latch makes it more obvious that the hood is popped.
