Best Ever Unintentional Modification Ever

What up folks.

This mod is straight up gangster and it happened by pure chance,

A part broke and I will never ever fix it and just follow me on this. Driving miss Daisy(older sister) the other day, first ever part broke on my spotless ride.

CC pulled the passenger door handle, 18 years of no butt in passenger seat etc, interior door latch disconnected.

So here is my terrible dilemma, don't fix it and do the Gentleman run around and open the door. I think realtors refer to this as "staging"

The way I see it, you have three choices:

1. Fix it. Get your vehicle back to original condition. You can still run around and open the door if you feel like it.

2. Don't fix it. As you stated, you now have "staged" things properly. On the downside, this can get old pretty fast if you are constantly having to let someone out of your car this way.

3. Disable the other door. This will cause everyone, including yourself, to have to straddle over the closed doors to get in and out. Depending on what is being worn, this could be ... interesting.

Or the day comes when the drivers door does the same thing and the windows won't work either, then what?

Hop out the top. Odds are nothing else will malfunction.500 miles a years max, 2 mile drives around the Lake.

Beside, dudes don't get rides.

More athletic drivers could leap into the vehicle through the open window, as is done in the movies. Your better half can dive in and out through the window as well, assuming she is as fit as you are.
