Another Improvement

After having burned my fingers on the hood’s prop rod for 20 years, I finally crafted an insulated finger guard for raising and lowering the hood when the engine is really hot. As you might guess, the problem was that the prop rod would get very hot during a spirited drive and when I would prop the hood open to let the engine cool I would invariably burn my fingers on the prop rod because I could never remember to put on a glove.
