My new “L” shin scar (x2)

[Joelaron]

Has anyone else gotten into their new Air w/o the drivers door open fully… and and full (we gotta go!) speed, WHACKED their shin on the far left side of dashboard? Well I have. Twice in the last few weeks including today. And today left a golf ball bruise and new “L” scar from the impact I to the curve of the metal trim on the dash. Consider myself branded. *photos on request to avoid you all seeing my hairy, swollen and scarring shin.

Still f’ing love my car beyond words…and blood.

Oh yes, yes, yes.

Haha would love to see a photo.

I have my radar detector screen there too, so I've definitely smacked that with my knee a number of times going both in and out. Acrylic is unforgiving

I haven't done that. But the door is really heavy. I was leaning down when I opened it quickly one night and snacked myself in the face. That hurt!

It’s okay, today I realized how low (and hard) the trunk is when open with my forehead while grabbing groceries out the car

There’s also the sharp corner scrape from the doors that I have been bitten by too many times for my ego to handle.

This is the one that gets me.

 

[gavram]

Yeah, I've earned that bruise as well

That actually has never happened to me

So far I'm at 1x for the door corner, 2x for the left dash corner. Relatively minor compared to a gash I got from a Mercedes.

I whacked my head yesterday getting in for the first time in over a year. Had to take a moment to laugh at myself.

And no, I hadn’t been drinking. At that point.

But did you enter butt first or head first? I heard there’s a strategy

Never. Right leg first, with a good lean angle always does the trick. Until it doesn’t, I guess.

These are badges and scars of honor for Air owners

Two years in and I wait a sec., once I'm seated, before I reach out for the door...knowing I will bang my head two more times.
