Exactly. No one here can say that they haven't had to battle the wind at least once. It sucks when that wind kicks up and flings the door open. Or being one of those poor people (like me) that have a tiny apartment garage.

Some of ya'll need to get off you high horse, and yes I said ya'll, I'm allowed to.

When I'm handling the 2nd biggest purchase of my life (aside from my home) I'm careful, to say the least. And if I wasn't so camera-shy I'd post video of how to open your door and enter/exit your Camaro from either side without causing harm, as well as a lenghty video of how to perfectly park by backing in. But instead I'll just hop on my high horse and let you figure it out.

Sorry, but people who are careless with their cars, that cost tens of thousands of dollars... don't need to drive up the price of my Camaro by making IDIOT proofing mandatory!

I would have preferred Ford to spend that extra $5 putting a desperately needed manual mode into their automatic transmissions. That would at least be useful for anyone coordinated enough to dress themselves.

I think most of the point is if you have a two car garage, you won't ding your other car or smack your door into the wall accidentally.

We have rubber door protectors on our cars because our garage is kinda tight.

True. I couldn't help but think of the movie "Friday" with that comment:
