Default How do you get into your car?

Sounds nuts but how do you get in to the drivers seat of a car?

I had to get in a LHD car and I found it really awkward to get in for some reason (probably down to me being big boned ) and I had to stop and think about it.

In a RHD car I put left leg in, **** on seat and drag right leg in but I see a lot of people sit first and then swing both legs in.
What do you do?

Open door , left leg in footwell and left hand on steering wheel, then just pull myself into position using the hand that's on the wheel.

Not handy if you're a fat ****** and likely to snap the wheel off though.

I do both.

When I was working at a car dealership I sat in first and swung my legs in after, why, Because getting in and out of cars the other was caused me leg to hurt.

I slide across the bonnet and jump in the window. It's a pisser if the wife's left it up though.
I'm just a good old boy, never meanin' no harm...
Beats all you never saw, been in trouble with the law
Since the day I was born.
I straighten the curves and flatten the hills...
Someday the mountain might get me but the law never will.
Makin' my way, the only way I know how...
That's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Just a good ol' boy, wouldn't change if I could,
Fightin' the system like a modern-day Robin Hood...

I do it Dukes Of Hazzard stylee. Run at the car from the left, slide over the bonnet on me ****, swing round the A-pillar and slide in through the drivers door window feet first beacuse I've welded the doors shut for no particular reason. Only problem is the rivets in me jeans are royally screwing up me bonnet's paintwork.

I normally just open the door, and get in. However that is easier as I'm not a driver, so I don't have to worry about the steering wheel.

depends on the car, when your over 6ft and prob about 20 stone it makes a difference. some cars for some reason are just a pain tho.

i really need to loose some weight
