Why is there so much interest in "suicide" doors? If you open one while driving down the road there would probably be an accident, not suicide. Maybe it has something to do with an image of prohibition, gangsters, and machine guns. The manufacturer's term for this kind of door would be something like "rearward opening" door, because when the door opens it moves to the rear. Or maybe it should be "forward opening" door because the opening is at the forward end of the door.

I'll go with "forward opening" because the door opens forward, not rearward. But....I guess that it all depends on how ya look at it! \:D \:D \:D \:D

JUNKYARD DOG, I THINK MACKIE WACKIES IDEA OF SUICIDE DOORS IS THAT DRIVING WITH THE DOORS OPEN, YOU REALLY HAVE THE FIRST TRUE AUTOMOBILE OF AIR CONDITIONING, AND LIVING IN TEXAS, LOOK AT HOW MANY GRASSHOPPERS YOU CAN CATCH,

Dad told me they were called suicide doors,because if you opened them while driving down the road. They would catch the air and yank you out of the car. Of course I was rather young when he told me that, so.......

Was not too crude till you got to the manure in the back seat, We may be a tad country but we know where to keep the manure and also the B.S..........
In the oil patch B.S. means Bottom Settleings. That yucky black stuff that settles to the bottom of a crude oil tank........It kinda' looks like the farm B.S. and the Chatter B.S. too

I guess that "BS" means different things to different people in different places. Here in Oregon...."BS" means...."Bad Stuff"! Here is an example: "Wow, look at all of that 'BS' (Bad Stuff) that Macky Wacky is rolling in before bedtime!" And, I heard that in California "BS" means, "Brilliantly Stupid". In Oklahoma it's "Born Slow". In Washington it's "Badly Slipping" and so on. So....different strokes for different folks! Ya! \:D \:D \:D \:D
