When I was working as a tire buster, I was a mere shadow of the man I was to become, 6'3" and 244". I went out into the lot to bring in a Vega for tires, As I walked up to the car, I noticed that the window was down on the driver side. So squeeze myself in, hanging my left hand on the drip rail over the door, and slam the door with my right hand. Well, I hadn't noticed that the door had a frame over the window. So I pinched my left hand in the weather strip. Vegas being the flimsiest POS that GM ever made, my hand wasn't hurt- just trapped! With my elbow pinched between the door and the wheel! POS Vega! I'm stuck in it, out in the lot, where nobody hears me yelling through the one partially open window, now blocked by my arm. I almost dies of claustrophobia, damn substandard Vega, before I got my wits, looked over at the right side door, to locate the door handle. I had to reach through the steering wheel, under my left knee, with the right hand to release the door. Phew, what a relief to be able to breathe again!

Next car was a '57 T bird. I had one of the substandard servicemen pull it in.
