    If it is just the right side latch that is stuck, you can just grab the cable that is between the latches through the kidney holes and pull it forward.  Possibly pushing down on the hood above the latch to help it release if the tension is high.  My cable is broken inside the car and that is how I get my hood open, janky I know but I have a ratchet strap as backup.  It's super classy.

          https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=yeet 

          "1. to make a violent motion of any variety, such as a "whip," or any motion that maybe associated with violent camera shake or photo blur."

          Technically should have been "Yote".

          "However, it's tenses are often used incorrectly. In the future, you "will yeet," In the present you "are yeeting," and in the past, "you yote."

          "Yote" is often replaced with "yeeted," but that is a prime example of poor grammar. Using "yeeted" instead of "yote" would be like saying "eated" instead of "ate." It makes you sound like a baby or a moron."

            Urbandictionary is the ruination of the English language

              Doesn't using any form of the term accomplish this?

                C'mon now fellas.... You are correcting a highschooler on the internet. I wanted to experiment with some new words. Mind you I haven't mastered the English language yet.

                  I just thought the urban dictionary definition was funny.  I actually thought it was a failed autocorrect.  So is that a thing people say?  I'm 29 and I have never heard that word before.  Urban dictionary should have origin information...

                    Got wheels back from powdercoater yesterday they turned out great! Got them mounted up today. Also added an m3 lip. Going to install m3 side trim Tuesday when I get the rest of my clips!,

                                Got some bavtoys HIDs in the mail. Waiting for some new connectors and my lights will be installed next week!

                                In the meantime I took some decent pictures at an abandoned trainstation. (Got chased away by angry old man)

                                    That wheel color works so well with the blue. Now it just needs a bit of low!

                                      I bought the DDM tuning ones off Bavtoys. The guy from bavtoys is very helpful!

                                      I agree on both! I think I have lowering springs on my parts car. Going to have to check 😉

                                        Finally installed my ZKWs with bavtoys ddm hids.

                                        Made my own harness. Need to wire in my city lights, ajust the driver side light this weekend and clean up the mounting of the ballasts. (Rushed because I was installing them at 9 @ night and was swarmed by mosquitos. Can't wait to drive it tonight with the new lights!
