Seriously.
Ok, so I know I'm no expert when it comes to vehicles, but I'm also not the most hopeless person. I'm not too afraid to try to fix the simple stuff ie. things I can read how to do on the internet.
However, when one gives up trying to work on the car for any longer because one has become convinced that the wire to pop the hood has broken, one walks away in defeat... for now. Bitter, bitter defeat. I was convinced that the engine of the corolla would be locked away forever in one final gigantic quirk that defined that car through the years.
Now, I was going over this incident after it happened and picturing it in my mind. I was pulling the lever and nothing was happening. Pulled lever... nothing. oh.....no.....I'm an idiot.
That's right. After the fact I realized I was pulling the trunk release, not the hood release.
No wonder the hood wouldn't open!

the corolla, you can break into it with difficulty, bust the key off in the ignition or the door, get a flat tire in potholes, ust the hood (or not) and it can still move. the van itself just keeps going. maintanence is the key...none of which I do myself.
HAHAHAHA! Wow! This begs the question, how long have you been driving around with an open trunk?
