Your car is broken – or rather the engine is broken. It won’t run. Problem is, the mechanic can’t get to fix it because the hood is closed, it’s an inside hood latch, and the doors are locked.
Meds can be the key to unlock the door. Just like a lock and key, not all keys will work in all locks. It might take time to find the right key to unlock the door.

KEEPING it running smoothly in the long term is up to you –
