#5090 – my car wants me to drive it more often, i guess

This was posted over 17 years ago; my opinions, thoughts, attitude, and writing style may have evolved since then, and this post might have been different if it were to be posted today.

my car doesn’t seem to want to entirely unlock the driver’s side door. after i either flip the unlock button on the dashboard, or pull the door handle twice on the inside, it causes the lock to pop up, but it doesn’t entirely pop up. i can keep pulling on the driver’s side door handle on the inside and it won’t let me out, not until i reach over and pull the lock up the rest of the way. it’s really odd. maybe it’s because of this heat?

hm. i wonder how it is that i can still open the driver’s side door from the outside after unlocking it, then?

i should take the door paneling off this weekend and see if i can figure out what’s wrong with the mechanism.

i’m actually at the house in annapolis now, since feisty_fitz locked herself out this afternoon. soon we’re going to head over to cynicalscribe‘s place (where i was once locked inside the house!).

yup, whole lotta lockin’ goin’ on. actually, since i need to get my a/c fixed, bodywork fixed and fiddle with this lock, i may just stop by the dealership this weekend and see what it might involve if i decide to trade my car in, and what sort of offer they may make me.
