An Amusing NSV

Last year, when my driver's side door froze shut, I had to try to climb to the driver's side from the passenger side. I was too heavy, though. Even with the seats pushed back, I couldn't contort myself enough to scoot from the passenger side to the driver's side. (I have a sub-compact car.) My boyfriend had to crawl in and drive me to Auto Zone to get some latch stuff.

This year, my @#$%^& door latch froze AGAIN. Before I realized what I was doing, I was contorting and squirreling myself into the driver's seat without any issues. Ta-da!

So, even though it's a frustrating NSV, it's an NSV nonetheless. In case of emergency, I can move from one side of my car to the other. ;)

(Come to think of it, that will be pretty handy if I end up in a ditch and roll onto one side or my door is jammed in some other type of accident, so I guess that IS pretty cool!)

Also, every auto place in the area was sold out of lock/latch de-icing stuff, but the latch had thawed by the time I got home. Weird.

    Haha awesome! Congrats on the NSV :)

    P.S Rubbing alcohol is a good de-icer. :)

    Ooh, thanks. I have a spray bottle, so I'll pick up some alcohol when I go to the store later. I think we're out, and it's never a bad idea to have some around. :)
