If you are opening your car door in 60mph winds, park facing into the wind. My door got ripped out of my friends grip and broke the hinges. Now I have less money for kites and trips

:wee::wee::wee:

I am very sorry to hear that! And yes, that's one of those things it's hard to be aware of sometimes.

Dang, I feel sorry for you and the friend.

You are such a decent guy, I'm sure you are putting the blame on your self. Meanwhile your friend feels it's His fault. Nobody wins . Accept the car shop.

ouch, that makes getting the door to latch shut a bit hard.
it's the same as opening the door in a parking lot as someone pulls into the spot next to you as you are getting out.
Any thoughts of removing the door on the opposite side and using the truck as a dune buggy?

I hope the friendship is stronger than the door.

Sorry to hear. I've opened the car door at the beach in 60mph winds to have it pulled from my grip. You'd be surprised how much strength it takes to hold on to a door in those winds, you basically have no chance.

oow that sucks. One more thing , don't even think about opening an umbrella while getting out of a vehicle. Thinking she would melt or burst into flames if she gets wet ,wifey opened hers and BING out goes the windshield. I wasn't there and she gave a song and dance about how it happened but a quick trajectory annalysis plus I know her so well , and it was pretty easy to figure out what happened. Also only let trained professionals install remote car starters , neighbors son knocked down their garage while sipping morning coffee at the kitchen table so proud of his work the night before.

^ haha, funny stuff

I gotta know more about the umbrella taking out the windshield, got any pics? That sounds hilarious.

She was sitting in the drivers seat and it was a fine misty day so she was fiddling with the thing while sitting there ,pressed the release and the thing shot straight out above the stearing putting a beautiful big star there.

Patrick I am sure it was not her fault at all. I'm sure the umbrella was wired with a hair trigger. Those things are very dangerous you know:shocked2:.
OH WAIT a cotton picS-P-A-M-L-I-N-K-n minute.:ticking: This is her fault. YOU NEVER OPEN AN UMBRELLA INDOORS. It's bad luck. See it's true!!

When you're married, it's NEVER her fault. This is a universal truth like the laws of physics.
