well i was putting my wheels back on now that the weather is getting better, and when i was doing the front wheels, when i was jacking it up, the car slipped off the damn jack, i know i know, my own fault, but anyways, the jack stuck up and stopped on something, but it must have pushed something up, cuz now my hood doesnt close completely, what could it have pushed up? ---
