check under front lip of your hood...

I had noticed a tiny spot in mine last year- thought it was a small sag in the factory paint- nope...I did a little off road excursion tonight looking over the damage - the underside of the hood has blistered/bubbling paintlike you'd see on a ten year old car, not a 2 year old car that was never in the snow...looks to me like that underside crimp is not sealed, and water gets to the aluminum and corrodes the crap out of it...I'll nee to paint the hood from scratches I put on it tonight, but think I'm gonna look into a 'glass hood as this aluminum problem is sure to return on a repaint if it already exists in the factory baked paint...gotta replace the bumper/fender, repaint the hood...did a stupid move going around a corner in the middle of nowhere, jumped on the gas a little too hard going into second and the road was too slick- lifted instead of pressing the clutch and rear skidded - basically just bumped a rusty old chain link fence at at about 10-15 mph...figures, just paid it off too...glad just cosmetic damage, but hope its another 25 years before I bend up anything else...
