Good morning, friends. 
9 March 2025
There was a time in my younger days when I could jack up my car, set it on a stand, crawl underneath, and replace the clutch. I used to handle my own tune-ups, oil changes, and more. Those days are behind me now, and even if I still had those skills, I’d probably take my car to the dealer for maintenance anyway. Just a couple of weeks ago, I realized I didn’t even know how to open the hood of my car. I had to look it up in the manual—which, by the way, is digital and on my phone. Eventually, my wife came to the rescue, figuring it out in about ten seconds. She used to supervise mechanics in the army; now, she supervises me! ;-).

There is a rule that every car manufacturer has to put the secret hood latch in a different place and have it work in a slightly different way that only seems obvious after you have spent an hour figuring it out.
I've no doubts about that being the case.
