car doors

Unlocking car doors is a differnt problem depending on what you drive. They tell me that some people can unlock all of the doors with the push of a button from 50 feet away. On my car you still have to use a key. One twist gets the driver's door and a second twist gets the other three. You can do it from the other side, but the driver's door won't open but about half the time. It's an old car.

But suppose you have a *very* old car. You might have to unlock one door, reach in and pull up a button to unlocked the back door on that side, the run around to the other side and unlock that door and reach in again for the other back door. (With a car that old you may have to turn a crank to lower a window.) Long armed people used to open the driver's side door, get in, and then unlock the other three doors from the inside.

I'm only thinking of four-door sedans. Vans, pickups, SUV's and such all have a different set of problems and must be handled in different ways.

Sometimes I really miss my old 1980 Subaru wagon. You had to use a key on that one and there were cranks on the windows. A system like that seldom fails. It cost my daughter $110 just to get her remote door locks reprogramed. That's the cost of progress.

I like my truck. Two doors, two locks, two window cranks. Everything works.
