+//3. console.log the indexOf 'Honda' and lastIndexOf 'Ford':

+
+//5. Use split method to convert stringOfCars back to an array:
+totalCars = stringOfCars.split(' ');

+let carsInReverse = totalCars.reverse();

+// and move them into a new array removedCars:
+let removedCars =  carsInReverse.slice(1, 3);
+console.log(removedCars);
+
+//9. Use splice method to remove 2nd and 3rd items in carsInReverse & replace them with 'Ford' and 'Honda' (which is weird because the 2nd and 3rd items are already Ford and Honda...):
+carsInReverse.splice(1, 2, 'Ford', 'Honda');

+//10. Use push method to add the types of cars removed using splice method to carsInReverse:

+console.log(carsInReverse);
+
+//11. Use pop method to remove and console.log the last item in carsInReverse:
+console.log(carsInReverse.pop());
+
+//12. Use shift method to remove and console.log the first item in carsInReverse:
+console.log(carsInReverse.shift());
+
+//13. Use the unshift method to add a new type of car to the beginning of carsInReverse:
+carsInReverse.unshift('Volkswagen');
