Getting out: Hand on pad, left leg out (sometimes scrapping door), push up, and pull right leg out.

Mind you I couldn't do it this way wearing a kilt, but I have no issue, even with the door only partially open. Now raining, with an umbrella, that's another story but that's true with about any car.
Same getting out. I just fold up, put my ass in the seat, then pull my feat in.

I cringe when someone uses the door handle or roof to support their weight getting in or out. That happens a lot...

Being short at 5'3" I get joy out of watching my tall friends get out of my car.

Business is a bit slow, no 'fat checks'.. Unsure why it's so slow?? I'm hearing that WFH is leading to comfort eating.
