The view from the outside.
For the past 2+ years, my 2-door car has been un-enterable (yes, it's a word) from the passenger side. This is due to damage from an unsuccessful break-in.

So, I went to open my car after work today, and the handle from (obviously) the driver's side ended up in my hand. wooohoo! So now, not only can I not get in from the passenger's side....I can BARELY get in from the driver's side. It's pretty awesome. Entering cars is so overrated.

He beat me to the Dukes comment! Damn!

Hell yeah, you need to get that whole hood-slidin' thing down practicing on your car. Then do the whole Dukes of Hazard hood-slide through the window bit on a kiddie car at the end of a TKT show and make the show ALL YOURS! "HOW'D HE FIT IN THERE? WAY COOL!" THE DRUMMER WINS!

Hood-sliding getaway car is go.

Girlfriend is not so supportive of that idea.

As long as the doors open from the inside, only one of you (him) needs to do the DoH thing. :-P

Tis a fine line between the "DoH" thing, and the "d'oh" thing...

Hmm, Hondas not so good for hood-sliding. Not enough hood, and it's sloped downwards towards the front; you'd tend to slide that direction and onto your ass on the pavement. Not so much with the coolness.

Well, with how popular the band is, maybe it's time to upgrade the image. Maybe it's time for... a Mercedes.

And just in time, you can get one on sale for only $300.

Dealer prices may vary depending on dealer stock. Your mileage may vary depending on driving conditions. Financing not available at all dealerships. Drive responsibly. Eat lots of carrots and call your mother once a week. Always follow instructions dictated by the fast talking voice at the end of car commercials.

Awesome...although it looks like the door handles don't work in that either...

Much with the suckage. If you can't do anything else about it, I'll come take a look at putting your door back together, and perhaps figuring out what's wrong with the passenger side door.

Thank you sir..I may need to take you up on that, although I am able to get the driver's side open now- just a little trickier!

The problem is, the car is falling apart in many ways...but it runs better than any car I've ever owned. The mechanical problems have been almost non-existant. It just looks like crap!

Oh my. My condolences for the handle.

Very amusing post though.

Contrary to popular belief, there is ACTUALLY a Honda Dealership in Sacramento that will repair the door.

Bo and Luke don't work there, though.
