Who has done this when they first got their H3?
 
OK, probably more for the manual trans owners (like me now)...
First night. I parked for a while. It's dark out. Start the truck, release the parking break and the hood opens! :eek: They are kind of near each other.

c'mon, who else? Am I the only one?

I have to admit, the first night I had mine I did it. Sad thing is, I got out, shut the hood got back in and did the same damn thing :o

The hood release is located at about the same place the break release was on my other SUV. GF did it once or twice too and now she isn't allowed to drive it anymore ;)

I do it on a daily basis. :o

Ok..maybe not, just trying to make you feel a little better.;)

Re: Who has done this when they first got their H3?
 
err, I mean.. I parked and went inside. When I came back out and got in...

(ok, I really parked on lover's lane. Just me and the hummer! Shh!) :D

Gee thanks. If you don't hve a 5 Speed Manual trans, you probably don't use parking break much. I never do unless it's a manual.

I have a auto, but my dad taught me to always use the parking brake. He said it was a good habit to have, but I can't remember the reason.:confused:

My driveway has a nice slope to it so I use it on a daily basis.

You get over it.

Now when I drive my Jeep I am trying to put the e brake on with my foot, but it is between the seats

I did it once at night at my sister's house (hood opened instead of releasing parking brake). Lame.:)

I am with you, I only used my parking brake twice in the year that I own it, but both times I popped my hood when I went to release the brake.

Been there, Got the Tshirt.

Wait till you hop in an automatic, go for the clutch and hit the brake. You'll only do it once.

It took me about a week to adjust to latch location.

I have 7500 miles on my H3 and hit the hood release this morning. Apparently, I am a slow learner....

Happend to me once. It was a dark moonless night. In the distance you could hear a dog barking and some crickets (looking for tgl). THAT'S when it happened. I'll never forget....

Re: Who has done this when they first got their H3?

A company picnic
