rear roof bolts not grabbing?

Nothing to be embarrassed about. Just another reminder that we are all human, and nice to look back at for a laugh. Humility is a wonderful trait my friend

i always remove the bolts completely out of the rear and stash them in the center console. i brain farted and completely forgot that the screws were out and was turning the ratchet on nothing....sure felt like the bolt was there though. so in summary i assumed the rear roof bolts were in because the front ones stay in. must be getting old.

wow, time for a beer.

dont feel bad in my first run at the strip ,i forgot i had to turn the power key on everytime you start the car and didnt even know it had traction control which when left on slows the car by .3. i was so used to my blk 90 which has no t control and once you turn the power key on it stays on even if you turn the car off . car ran 14.40 and lost to a mustang by .2 .happy ending though was i got the same car in the next round and smoked him by almost 2 sec. the look on his face was priceless

We've all done it (parked on uneven ground) If you have the car long enough you'll experience the problem.
My first experience with it was most embarrassing because people were waiting on me.
