Yeah, the hood ornament never quite stood "straight up" again after that collision ... plus it took about an entire quarter's worth of car wash spray just to make it transparent again ... remember that old Cougar decoration ?! Looked like this one if memory serves me correctly ... plus Dad's XR-7 was red, and maybe it was an earlier model, too. He went through a lot of cars ... all makes & models ... no brand loyalty; it was just the flavor of the day that prevailed.
Another reason not to get a K-3 ... it wouldn't stand up to a high pressure car wash jet cleaning ... shoot at it and it would probably go scooting across the cleaning bay floor and into the drainage grill recession ... poor design concept here.
