i can't find the latch

i used to add oil

to my car

after pulling out the stick

and wiping it,

then putting it back in.

a quart low,

no problem.

i had cans of 30 weight

quaker state

on a shelf in the garage.

sometimes i changed

the oil,

sliding under

with  wrench and a pan.

i'd change

the shocks,

the water pump,

the oil pump

when it went bad.

i used to

put in new spark plugs

and set

the points.

the frayed belts, no problem.

i'd replace all the filters,

or the battery

when needed.

i used to add

anti-freeze and fluid

for the wipers,

change the wipers.

fix a flat

with the spare

and tools in the trunk.

and now

i can't even open the hood,

i can't find

the button

or the latch when i pull

into jiffy lube..
