"pop your hood" Options

[supershannon77]

Today at work I had my mind blown. I work in a doctors office and many of the doctors have really nice cars. I started talking to the one doctor about his car. Its an audi s5 and he had it built to his liking. I was telling him how beautiful I thought it was. Later, he went out to put the top up before it started to rain so I ran out and asked him if he could pop his hood for me so I could see the engine. He looked at me with a shameful face and said "sure, but I have no idea how to pop it" he than gave me his manual and asked me to help him. I popped it and admired it for a little while. Then, One of the other doctors came out and asked us what we were doing and talked to us a bit. Later, the doctor that came out to talk to us came to me and said he was jealous I didn't ask to see his engine so I said "sure, I'd love to see it".He has a mercedes E350. As we start walking to his car he tells me "btw, I don't know how to pop my hood either" I just couldn't believe it. He took a few minutes to try and figure it out but I just walked over and popped it for him. I told another doctor my disbelief that they couldn't pop their hood. That doctor, a third doctor laughed and said "I can't pop mine". I was shocked. I mean I understand these are brand new cars but I just imagined that popping a hood was a simple task and after spending that much money you may just want to simply admirer your engine.

Anyway, I just wanted to share because I thought maybe someone else could appreciate how shocked I was that these people have these beautiful cars and have never looked at their engine. They also have never washed their own cars. If I spent that much money on a car I know for sure no one else would be washing it or touching it and that I would be washing it often.

Any thoughts?

We have customers that come in all the time that are just like that. Very pricey cars, but no knowledge on how to do anything to them. It always makes me really happy to be able to go out and play with their overpriced car though I don't understand how people don't have any idea how to check their fluids, regardless of their gender. Daddy or mommy should have showed you, or you should have at least taken an interest. Idk how rich you are. What happens when you're traveling and AAA can't get to you?

One thing that scares me though... ...these new Audi's have no dipstick. It's all computerized. It says right on the dash (or HUD depending on how much money you spend) "Add one quart of oil." What happens when that computer breaks and tells you to add at the wrong time?!

I had a customer standing outside with the oil cap off and his engine running on his brand new Audi A4 Quattro, basically watching the oil spray everywhere. He asks me, "Is this where the oil goes?" I immediately replied, "uhh yeah but you might want to turn your engine off first because your spraying oil everywhere!" He replied, "...oh right."

Seriously, give the really nice cars to us with more experience. Let the idiots drive Sundance's and Neons!
