Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but how do you get out of the driver's seat of your kat with the top down? Do you turn to the left and pull yourself out with the wheel, or do you turn to the right and back out? I don't like pulling on the wheel and feel a bit self-conscious exiting posterior first! ------------------ |

Having had knee replacement surgery in January this is a chore for me still. It is getting better each month but I am still having difficulty bending my left knee enough to get my foot out of the door. Keep in mind - I have a 36 inch inseam so my legs are looong. Here is what I currently do. I lift my butt up by pushing myself against the back of the seat and then get my left foot outside on the ground. I then put my left hand on the frame just in front of the deck lid and push myself up while twisting my right leg and bending it. Getting in is much easier. I just step into the car and sit down (sliding my butt down the back of the seat until I am firmly planted). ------------------ This message has been edited by cwatsonjr on 08-02-2001 at 06:08 PM |

turn left...left hand on door sill...pull left leg out and place on terra firma...this gets the rest of the body moving in the correct direction...give a push outwards with the left hand...the loud pop means you have successfully ejected yourself from the auto. ------------------ |

Having been to Grand Canyon Tour and Deadwood, I can attest that a lot of people that post here, need to go on a diet. Thank God, I am naturally slim. To avoid negative feedback, I am not talking about any of you fat women. |

Oh. . .I jump in like Bo and Luke Duke. . .Well. . .Don't try that with the top up though. . .lol. I personally swing open the door turn left, place my left foot out, put my right hand on the steering wheel and my left hand around the back of the seat area and which both hands pushing I spring up every quickly. . .It works great for me, while I watch my passenger struggle for a couple of minutes getting out of the otherside of the car. I am 6 foot 2, and I am a newbie to the Prowler, but this technique has worked very well for me, and getting out looks very smooth and purposeful. Good luck! Paul |

Paul - I will try your method. Should I lube the seat edge and steering wheel first? The steering wheel really tilts up? Will try that also! Keith and Todd - you like my way to exit? It is humorous! This message has been edited by ALLEY CAT on 08-03-2001 at 09:24 AM |
