Drunkfest.

 

I'll be there robb.

 

good thing these people obsess about the s2000 and not wearing other people skin......

 

So, that was you?!


ps. I think all of you guys are taking this ribbing really well. Kudos to you all!

 

Sometimes I kick it shut with my combat boot as hard as I can!
But, when the top is down it's much more difficult because of the air pressure. Hope that answers your question.

 

As for closing the door.

I put myself abeam the door with my line of sight perpendicular to the door surface, with this line of sight projected at about 2/3 door lenght (towards the back of the door).

Then I move back a bit to have a distance between me and the ddor of about 2 feet (I would say a margin of error of plus minus 3 inch is allowed, depending your size).

Next thing I do is raise my right leg, ensuring my ballance, eventually aided with the neccesary arm movement towards the opposite direction of any tendency to start falling due to gravity forces.

Now I put my foot agaist the door, a bit below the window (lets say 4 inch below the weatherstrip) and give it a good kick, to make sure the door is defenitely closed.

While doing the latter action, extra caution has to be used because apllying "the force" to the door results in a opposite reaction force that may disturb your ballance and a possible successive overcorrection to regain ballance may cause you to smack your face into the side window.

Needless to say that this would leave a terrible grease spot or even worse, a grease covered crack.

However with some practise this seems to be a good way to close you door.

This procedure can be apllied to both passenger and drivers door.

I put my fingers behind the door handle and push it close. Kinda like opening the door but pushing it as opposed to pulling it. This way there are no fingerprints at all.

The good thing is that I've trained my G/F to do it the same exact way. She knows not to put fingerprints on my car. Having a Berlina Black "S", it shows any fingerprints.

For the trunk, I only touch the very edge of the brake light. But I tend to use my wrist so it doesn't leave much of a smudge.

For the gas door, I use a knuckle to close that.

Am I that bad?
