Default How do you get into your Car?

Okay, so I know that may seem a bit weird of a question, but really. How do you get into your car?

So I thought about this today when I was getting into the XFire, and I just sit on the side of the seat then turn in. But when I let my dad drive, he puts his legs in first then sits in. Is there a "quick" way to get in?


Mike

me too : I just sit on the side of the seat then turn in. ( I use the emergency brake for leverage )
I have no idea how your dad does that, he's a better man than me is all I can say.

I have no problem getting in, it's the getting out after 4 or 5 hours at the wheel that is sometimes comical. Especially when my neighbour decides his parking space isn't big enough

Haha, I hate that.
When I park in the back of a parking lot then come back and a vechicle is 6" from my car.
You should grab some fluorescent and flexible marking poles and mount in the floor.

As for me I duke of hazard it
Hahaha
I do it differnt getting g out than I do getting in.
In-
Right foot in, get in seat then left foot in.
Out-
Both feet out then stand up.
I have 5'7"
I think height makes a difference how a person gets in and out.
88 Camara I had awhile ago had to roll in and out.

Butt first, then right leg/foot, then rotate @ 90 degrees, then swinging in left leg/foot. Getting harder to put a lot of weight on knees.

Easy to do with the top down, even a FOM like me can do it. Top up, set and turn one leg at a time in.

What ever, however you do it, don't use the steering wheel for leverage. Or you will be doing the sticky key fix.

I put my right leg in. Then I put my right leg out. Then I put my right leg in and shake it all about. I think That's what it's all about.
