Atleast you didn't total the car! Glad you are OK. It really sucks to here that though. Hoods aren't to bad to replace.

The part that sucks I got out and the hood actualy latched.
The 11" brake locked up didnt hurt either,stopped pretty quick.

OUCH!!!
 
Well, at least those hoods are not that hard to find, no repairing that much krinkle. The roof dent does't. look too serious, you can prob'ly pull most of it out with suction cups.

God !  I was just thinking about that very same thing yesterday, as in how much damage it would do.  Sorry to hear it man.

wow, Glad to hear your all right. That is extremely dangerous.
I did that once about the same speed in a 67 mustang while passing somebody on a county road with a known car coming at me head on (one of those young stupid, "hmm YEA I can beat him" moments). Still scares me just thinking about it.
