10 second = open hood

I can now open the hood in about 10 seconds. Including opening and shutting the door.

I have seen and read on more than one occasion people fumbling for the hood release inside and hood latch on the outside. I have now opened the hood enough that it is muscle memory.

This car's hood is easier to open than my previous car's, the latch is in a slightly different format than I expected though.
