[MR2] Unable to open engine lid

[Aaron Willis]

False cursing seems to get the job done in most cases - it lets the car
know you mean business, but doesn't offend it so strongly that it
refuses to cooperate.  I use either Yosemite Sam or Popeye type
outbursts.

I forgot the cursing.  First a good stern talking to, then the whack 
delivered with a suitable verb and noun. Perhaps an adjective or two.
