is it illegal to drive without a hood?

my car doesnt have the hood on (getting repainted) and i need to use itttt....

damn my engine bay looks clean in the sun

 

that probably depends on where you live....seeing as that's California, my guess would be yes. In Cali, i'm sure that driving with mis-matched socks is a crime.

 

i wouldnt drive my teg without a hood, from what i hear in cali you go into the 7-eleven and when you come out your engine will be jacked.

also uv dammage will make the engine look like hell.

 

from what I understand it is illegal here in PA and as mentioned before, cali has the short end of the stick as far as strick rules go, I wouldn't do it

 

Its legal in Va...w00t...and ya I've seen it done lol

 

I drove around without a hood when I swapped my motor. But that was only for a couple days.

Then again, I also went Open Downpipe for a month and Cops didnt care.

I love TN, No emissions, no testing, Cops on average arent too bad.
