Hood Release Cable Broke

holy crap i'm a retard. after freaking out for a couple of days trying to find info on how to open my hood and/or replace the cable, i actually went out and looked at the damn thing and realized i could just reach up and press the lever over. it's actually easier than getting in the car and pulling the cable. guess i still have to replace the cable though. so glad my first post could be a stupid one.
