Poor Truck!

The other day when I was driving David's truck at night around 55MPH, the hood all of a sudden unlatched itself and came up in front of me. It made this loud thunk, which scared the kids, but luckily I remained calm and pulled over to the side of the road, tied it down and drove home. I was a bit shaken up, but was really glad the windshield didn't break. The force had bent the hood back along the contour of the truck. Teru had just happen to stop by later that night, so in the morning David and Teru had quite a project on their hands...

Since the hood was up, they checked to see if everything else was OK. It's hard to see in the picture, but inside the air filter compartment were a couple dead mice. Looks like they were making a nest. David was wondering why his car smelled funny...

David tried jumping on the hood, but no luck...

The truck getting a brutal beating...

Several hours later...back to its old self again!

David has mentioned that every time we work on the car, it gets mad and something strange like this happens. We had just gotten the truck some new shocks, and cleaned its filters. But I'm sure if the car gets mad this time, it's probably because its not too happy it was beaten!
