...if you open the hood at 120km/h ))

Hey whats'up))

I drove a couple of days ago and i got the idea to ventilate the engine compartment))
Well, at a speed of 120 kilometers an hour, I decided to open the hood and it immediately soared, twisted and fell to the windshield

don't do that shit guys,that is rapid distress ))

I've not even had time to think that could happen so lousy

Thanks for the heads up. I was going to try this instead of purchasing a cold air intake, but now I won't.

At what speed would it be safe to unlatch the hood?

Somehow driving down the highway my Yukon managed to pop open the hood (like the initial pull the handle) but it stayed closed with the safety latch... talk about close to shitting my pants.

out of curiosity did you pull once or twice?

going 75, I'm sure one pull will be enough to let the wind rip that thing open like it did
