Use the ejection seat.

Or just use the emergency release handle on the floor by the door.

Man you are asking for a bunch of smart a$$ responses on this one. Anyway if you ever looked at the floor in the car you will see the emergency door releases.

Frankly, I think the roof idea is the easiest, but wait, the roof problem is only in areas with high heat and high humidity, so if you live in, say PA, you would need to use the lever on the floor to open the door.

Ok, so I would move to Florida, MS, Texas, LA or other warm and humid state to avoid reading the owners manual.

zat iz a very deep question you ask.... hhhmmm will the car continue to operate if the battery dies or is disconnected ?

back in the older days you didn't need a battery to keep a car running, just needed it to get the darn thing started, after that you could pull the battery and be on your way.

it's been said that some of these newer electronic motorized contraptions require a sufficeintly charged battery just to keep running.

hhmm.. i wonder what would happen with the c6 if the battery was disconnected after it was started and running. would it continue to run and you just wouldn't be able to restart it or would it die a sudden and immediate death ?
