    Me too, '88 Mustang. Had the window down so I just poked my head out to get pulled over. It was exciting ha ha

    had it happen to me on a freeway in Queensland - 1994 mirage at 100kph. I did the same as this gyu, bobbed down and looked through the gap at the bottom of the windscreen... thankfully happened on a straight section of road, but I reckon opening a window would have cost me time, and taken one of my hands off the wheel.

    The Renal Clitoris (drive like a 'unt) had a reputation for doing this, poor assembly and too many wearing plastic parts and bang no vision.

    '73 Mustang. Hood was a little iffy to begin with. Hit a BIG pothole and the hood let loose. At night too!
