Default Getting into the car

Just wanted to vent
It's a Biatch getting into the S2000 with a leg injury.

I had a soccer game this sunday where I collided with another player and his knee delivered a heavy blow to my left thigh just above my knee. I don't think it's anything serious besides a deep tissue bruise (diagnosed myself ). I'm still coming into work, the pain is not present if I'm not moving or attempting to lift or support myself with my left leg....although it's especially painful when bending my leg. Reason to vent and relate this to drivign the S2000... Now...this is where it's a biatch getting into the S2000. OUCH! I'm 5"11' and I slide into the driver's seat without a problem by putting my right leg in first. Next is the challenging part with the injury...having to bend my left leg to get my leg in. Pushing the clutch is fine, I just have difficulty getting in and out of the car until I recover from this. Ahhhh Sigh.... o'well, no pain no gain. I don't know if getting into my other car, my integra, would be any easier, but I wouldn't know as I've let someone borrow it, so I just have my S2000 for now.

This is minor discomfort and should go away, and the S2000 is still a great car.

I thought I was the only one hurting myself playing soccer. I hope the other guys is having similar pain, BJ.

Broken ribs are painful!!! I busted a few playing football, everything you do hurts for a couple weeks.


Get better both of you!

You try it with 2 fractures in your pelvis and a couple of broken vertebrae.

Got in OK, driving was a bitch and getting out made it the last time I tried that.
