I thought getting in and out was part of the challenge Especially for those of us who wear skirts

Practice, practice, practice!

That is a really cool concept though.

Neat idea. But I kept thinking about how much snow and ice could impact upon the design. Think about how quickly you can enter/exit a car in a blizzard with our current design vs the demo. Also, think about where road salt and ice collect while driving. None-the-less it's thinking outside the box.

A local member told me the concept came from the BMW Z1 back in the 80's. I never heard of it before.

Before that there was the 53/54 Kaiser Darren sports car where the door slide into the fender.
