Message	i need to stop drinking on school nights. damn irish whiskey... but its just so delicious. anyway, its not a good idea with an aluminum hood. Over time, repetitive stress cycles will lead to metal fatigue and the aluminum will start bending. I've seen it happen to cars with steel hoods, and it will certainly be worse for aluminum hoods. ********************************************************* Joe GT675RS/Inconel AIM: hoyatiger81 "You probably never even got you hands dirty working on a car.
