Which hand opens the door?
I am still learning my 2016 Stingray and got to thinking...
Which hand should you use to open the door? I have gotten into the habit of using my left hand but thats just so I can adjust my sunglasses with my right as I ingress the cockpit.
Passengers just need to hop over the closed door for dramatic affect!
Stay tuned...

I use my right hand so that I can adjust my concealed carry with my left. When inside and with the car locked I take my gun out (placing it for easy reach) then put on my seat belt and off I go. Everything in reverse when I exit. However, as I think about it I could just as easily do the same with the opposite hand -- just a comfortable habit.

I use my right hand for both doors. I don't squeeze, though. I just pull without touching the paint; that way there are no prints or any possibility of scratching from my rings.
I pull in the metal door latch when shutting the door. No need to ever touch the paint.

With my V's and now C7, I use the first two fingers of my right hand to depress the touch pad and pull the door open. Egressing, using the same two fingers, I push on the lower outboard edge of the window. No scratches or fingerprints ever.
Zircon, where do you keep your weapon inside the car? I tried the hidey hole behind the infotainment screen, but that was too small. The glove box will do fine, just wondering if there is another option.

Drivers side is right hand, passenger side is left. A supinated grip is more natural than pronated and one is less likely to touch the door paint.
So who are you, putting so much emphasis on adjusting your shades?!?
Not to be a D but guessing your arms stay pretty warm in the winter.
Finally, your last sentence sounded like a DoH reference so here you go.
