Yikes! I don't think I COULD exit the car via the boot! I'm...generously endowed. I guess I could lose some weight before the car comes, just for emergencies such as yours. More likely I'd have to drive down to the dealer and camp in their parking lot, though.

You'd be surprised! Especially if the driver's side cable goes while you're attempting to enter the car, as it did in my case. Necessity is the mother of invention. As it turns out, she's also the patron saint of contortionism and flexibility

Wow, am I ever glad I've got a RAGTOP - as long as THAT doesn't break, I've got alternate means of entry!!
