unix, I am not trying to be snide...instead of trying gymnastics to get into the car, why don't you just park further away, where there is a spot open next to you, or the end spot where you can park closer to the curb?

NEVER??? Man, you don't know how hard it is for me, and many others, to believe that. Maybe you are standing in front of the guy with lambo doors when you don't hear anyone say anything bad...that would be called being civil. But when people walk away, they are muttering under their breath.

I have "NEVER" heard ANYONE say anything positive about lambo doors on a Vette. As stated before, an owner can do anything they wish with their own car.

Sorry it's so hard for you and I'm not sure who your "many others" are but the only experience I have had with MOD bashing to any significant level is on CF. I am not just talking about lambo doors. Pick a mod any mod.

Guess mama didn't teach some on this site basic manners. It's like being in high school at times.

I'll give you valuable key information:
Park farther out where there's ALOT less vehicles around.

Default WTHeck...

is with all the freaking smart *** comments offered up by some of the forum members?? Someone asks a perfectly legitimate question and some one offers up BS commentary as if to imply that the person who asked the question is some sort of idiot.

Maybe the person who asked can't park far away from where ever s/he parked... maybe they're handicapped or if not that bad-off, simply cannot walk long distances due to some level of medical issue, hence cannot park far away where there are less cars.

If you can't answer the question legitimately, keep your BS commentary to yourself.

Simply unbelievable...

LOL....and good point. But one must remember that sometimes these threads (maybe this one, and maybe not) and the post within are so outrageous that they deserve a little "Tickling"...if you want to call it that......

Have you ever noticed there's always "that person" who parks right next to you, no matter the distance from the destination? This used to happen to me back in the day with my T/A and still does today with the 'vette. Strange...
