I had that happen once with my civic, but never with my S. Pretty much the same result, scared the crap out of me.

Ive heard it happening before twice. Guedo and Jen in Del Val. Both had there hoods pop up, but didnt notice until they parked. They didnt go past 50 mph when it happened. Guedo mentioned that he thinks maybe a bumpy road could have caused it. BTW both stock hoods.
