Interesting question...

If you shave your door handles and get remote door poppers, and your battery dies...how do you get into your car? Obviously you can't get under the hood to charge the battery, and any other means of getting into the car would pose a security threat. Has anyone ever thought about this? Has it ever happened to anyone? Am I missing something incredibly obvious?

Break the window. Well, anyway.... if the battery died you'd have to call a friend or a tow truck.

He thought the rainbow would be a good way to express tha the isn't always a grumpy jaded a$$hat, and that he IS actually capable of some human emotion other than anger... or maybe he is just gay, I don't know.

Locked IN your car?

I didn't break my own window, my car was broken into in SF at a rave, along with about 10 other cars along the street. They didn't even take much...my cell phone cradle, radar detector power cord, glasses...and TOOTHBRUSH?!

Oh and oblivious9, I meant the CAR battery, not the remote battery (if you left your headlights on)

I have seen older hot rods that shave the door handles and they have a hidden connection under the car that allows for a plug in for 12 volts and it is kinda like a bypass connection. (I have seen the connection under the bumper and behind the license plates)
