First, the entry is the called the Crossfire twist...you got it down perfect. After a short while it feels just like i'm jumping without any problem.

Getting out is always a challenge. Here's some tips:

Never park where someone else can park to the left of you! So you can open your door completely. Which means you might not be able to park remotely close to you desired location.
Never wear work boots, hiking shoes, widebody basketball shoes, large welt english dress shoes...oh forget it, DONT WEAR SHOES (Racing boots are ok).
Never park facing up hill, unless you have an ambulance on your speed dial to recover you severed lower leg after the door swings closed on it.
Never attempt to exit the vehicle when you are angry. You will definitely swing your car door into the car next to you (you clearly didn't follow tip #1, you will get your wide bodied shoe caught in the tiny opening (tip #2) and possibly kick a hole in your speaker in the process.


I have yet to seriously hit my speaker, but have come damn close. I finally bought a pair of addis (faux) racing shoes that i try to wear most of the time. i've even worn them and changed into dress shoes when i arrive at my meeting.

Hehe...

LOL...I got a warning once from the Maryland State Police about not wearing shoes while driving...so that option is out...i like the sockless slip on's. That narrow toe is perfect to get your foot out of the xf.

More shoe shots appreciated.

 

I go with the Keen slip on's or the Keen sandals. Great for driving the Crossfire! They look gay when driving the 1 ton dodge diesel though. LOL.
