It really depends if I can open the door al the way. All the way open, I swing up and out. Look ma, no hands. But if I can only open the door to the first notch, then my elbow is on the hardtop, where it meets the body.

i find it much harder to get out of the pass seat since there's not much to hold over there.

I understand the '07 will have a new grab handle in that exact position.

+1, but I usually don't take the door completely off...

Left hand goes on the door sill. Right hand goes on the center console. Lift body UP and over the bolsters, step out w/left leg, transfer weight to left hand on sill, step out of car w/right leg.

Look for me in the '08 Olympics, competing in Pommel Horse

Usually after left leg is out of car the left hand goes to the left knee.

I just grab the top of the driver side window and use that to pull my weight out of the car.

I think I actually grab the front edge of the rear quarter to pull myself out a bit. In other words the portion directly behind the "door hole"

I actually put it on the hinge of my lambo doors cause I need to make sure I don't hit my head.






























j/k. I actually just flow out in a quick standing motion with my feet.
