Can I drive with no hood, Approx 60 miles? Options

[Negative]

Ok this some ricer $hit I know but I have no choice. I need to pic up my GT4 hood from Ngofcukingway butit's approx. 60miles away through the city of Houston and I have no truck. Just the Celica. If you've seen my Audio/Video thread you know I have no room in the hatch for anything.
In order to pick up my hood I have but one option - Take off my stock hood and drive to his place and instal the GT4 hood and then drive back in style.
Anybody know of any reason why this would not be ok? Minus the obvious freak rainstorm, bird dodo in the wrong place or something flying off another car and landing in my engine bay.

if your that worried about it...drive over there with a hood and switch em. just ditch your oem hood somewhere..unless you planned on selling it.

I got plans for it It's a secret so far but I'll be posting that up when I get started.

i drove without the complete front of my car: no hood, no bumper, no fenders. i was fine for a few days but then i got pulled over by a cop and he told me some words of advice: "i better get my wheelwell on because if i hit a person he'll keep going around and around." thanks officer.

Thanks ya'll. I'm gonna wait till dark and then go for it. Wish I could just tarp it or something to keep the cops off me and my peace of mind but my headers will def set that on fire. They almost have burned through the underhood fire retardent blanket looking thing.
On the subject - do you think the GT4 middle vent which will be directly over the header will melt because of the header? If you look at the engine pic in my profile I have thermal wrapped the #1 pipe near the alt to keep the heat off the alt but I really don't like the look of a wrapped header. Then again Jeff @ Toyota world says that vent is on back order so if i fcuk that one up I'll be screwed for a while. Anybody on here with header and GT4 hood? Think I'll smoke it?

While your on my profile please feel free to leave me any comments. I've been on here for a long time and I have almost no comments.

its metal, it wont melt. and also, double check to make SURE the hood latches after you put it on. dont pull a rayme

May this picture remember you to be careful!!! This was a BRAND NEW hood...thankfully even at 30 mph the windshield didn't smash, and the hood didn't bend..just ceased in..thanks for the light aluminium...

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DON'T BE A DUMB ASS LIKE ME !

Just a hard way to learn that tie wraps aren't made to hold a hood closed.
