Someone sent me this site in an email. Check it out for a nifty way to get in and get out of a car. Would be a neat option for Vettes too.

wow thought it was fake at first. Pretty neat.

 

Cool!

 

SEEMS LIKE IT WOULD BE PRETTY CLOSE TO SCRAPING THE GROUND WHEN IT RETRACTED UNDER THE CAR. WOULD MAKE IT QUITE A BIT EASIER TO GET IN AND OUT OF ESPECIALLY NOW THAT I'M A LITTLE OLDER AND THE BODY DOESN'T CONTORT LIKE IT USE TO.

 

Did those people open the doors for themselves? Seems like just a new way to be lazy. Still pretty cool though.

I've seen them and they are interesting.
- Not sure if they would be available or fittable to a 'vette (you can do anything with enough money), but they add abit of weight and require ground clearance that 'vette's don't have.
- The one's I saw require that they first open the window before the door slides down (I assume this is done automatically, with something like the circuits that pop the glass down about 1/4 inch from the seal on C6s, Porsches, my Aston, and a bunch of other cars, before one opens the doors, it was automatic on the ones I saw but adds to the time required to open the door) and then the window goes back up once the door is closed.
- In winter, in the car parks over any amount of snow at all, even 2-3 inches in the parking place, they slide the door downi underneath the car into the snow and slush under the car, and when they come back up scoop just a bit of wet cold yuck up depostied on the top of interior side the door
