How do you enter and exit your Porsche?

[RandallNeighbour]

If the car is in my garage with limited door swing, I must put my right foot in first, sit down, and bring in the left foot.

I do the reverse when leaving the car, but boy howdy, my knees are not what they used to be when I was in my 20's and I feel it.

Get out? Why?

To further elaborate, as a former fulltime test driver I would enter & exit 15-20 vehicles daily. Yet another reason I fell in love with Porsches is the ease & speed of entry & exit. Fully open the door, turn your back to the opening & drop your butt into the middle of the seat. Swing both feet into their proper place on the pedals while placing the key in the ignition & then close the door. This "training" comes in handy @ the Porsche Sport Driving Experience autoX relay competition.

I've been doing the "right foot in, turn left foot, drop, pull in left foot," but will have to try this method when I exit hibernation.

As for exiting, I try to block unpleasant memories, but I recall swinging both feet out, bracing right hand on steering wheel and left hand on frame, then pushing/lifting myself up.

Body size definitely influences how you do this. The taller and/or "huskier" you are, the more difficult I imagine it would be.

Johnny Danger probably taught Speed Racer and Robin how to leap into the top-down car.
