...Prix? I went to jump my dead car this morning, but the hood was frozen shut. To make a long story short, we pulled the level too hard, I guess, and it broke a cable.

So... it's really going to suck if I have to pay for a d*nm tow truck to take it from here to 1/4 mile to the shop to figure out what's going on.

My boyfriend took the grills off and tried to stick his hand up in the car to see if he could unlatch it... through a tube or something... but no luck.

Please help. I spent my money on Christmas presents, this is NOT a good time for this!
 
Crawl under the car, get a pipe or somthing small but rigid and you will see the latch push on that, youll know which way because you will see the cable there... First take your fist and with mild force, pound all the way around the hood edges just to make sure the ice is broken up...
 
also, if you go to a auto parts store, Motomaster has a booster box that plugs into the cigarette lighter of your car... it really works... that will get you going and to the shop anyways...
