Holy crap-a-moly! Almost had a heart attack!
Ok I picked up my Wicked White, SSS Evo X earlier today. It´s awesome! First Evo X here and it's quite clear I can't pick my nose when I´m in it. People are staring everywhere.
Anyways... I was driving home on the freeway when I noticed the hood vibrates a little. Well I thought "Has to be normal, right?" then a big truck goes by, I´m at around 70mph and WOOSH! I thought the darn hood would blow off! The amount of movement and vibration was beyond my belief... shees! Going to clean my pants now
Normal?

Mine is rock solid. I think that your hood was not closed all the way. If it looked like it was closed, then close it harder next time or go have your hood latch looked at and see if maybe it needs to be adjusted. Perhaps it is not closing the hood all the way or something. First I've heard of this...

Gotta say...haven't experienced it either...umm...on windy days it's not totally uncommon to feel like you're going to blown off the road by a huge semi that is probably going faster than it should

Anyway, my hood is solid and doesn't vibrate at all. Take your car back to the dealer. Thats a probelm.

drive it out again, if it still feels the same after you made sure that it was closed, then take it back and tell them to fix it. I mean I drove 100 mph and it felt really smooth and nothing like that was happening to my hood.
Also people do stare at Evos if there aren't many around your neighborhood. Like my neighborhood, there isn't a single Evo around and everyone, even old people stare at me, some guy even stick his head out of the window and kept looking back and forth between my car and the road (making sure he doesn't crash). I was like wtf, so I sped up and drove away from him because it was annoying lol.

All you should have to do to close it is drop it from a little height. Do not slam it or push down on the top. Remember it is alluminum and if you push down on it you can dent it.

snipe my post for making a joke? Man, it wasn't OT. May as well delete the whole thread then as its not really contributing to anything. No offense to the OP at all, just curious as to why I get a post deleted for making an on topic joke, particularly when its not on a thread where there's much info being passed around, its a story.
**glad it didn't fly open on you man.**
