Default Aw ****. You've got me interested again...

Man, I'm gonna have to sell the kids into slavery if I continue like this. This stuff ain't cheap... With a non-vented hood, my out of pocket would be $300. With the vented one, it would be closer to $600. Hmmm, how to sell this one to the wife?... We're supposed to be saving money for the new-coming baby and I still need to take the kids on a ski trip this year. I guess if they're sold into slavery that wouldn't be an issue anymore. I can just hear the conversation:

Mrs. Santorin: Honey, where are the kids?
Me: Uh, um, on their way to Gabon...
The Mrs.reaching for rolling pin) WTF??!??
Me: But honey, look how pretty this hood looks on my car!

Yeah, so anyway, I gotta think about this...

BTW, for those easily offended or anyone who don't get sick humor, THIS IS A JOKE! I love my kids and would never ever think of selling them into slavery even for a CF hood! I would destroy/maim anyone who would even look at them the wrong way! Hey I'm a good dad! I'm taking them skiing!

Why is there a police car in my driveway??

Default Safety question about CF hoods...

Well I'm not an Audi driver (someday!), but I've heard that CF hoods can be treacherous in case of front-end hits. It's my understanding that they won't crumple like stock hoods (steel/aluminum).
Rather, they'll get pushed backwards into the cockpit like some surfboard...

I've heard this from quite a few people, owning different brands of cars. What's the contention here?
