How do I get out of my Ex? In a hurry cuz that biotch is craaaaaazy!

Seriously, none of y'all thought of that?

I like to thank it for a fantastic ride, open the door, peek around to make sure no one is around and then exit as quickly as possible to avoid embarrassment. So pretty much the same way I leave your mom's house. baZING!

In all seriousness, I spin a bit then put my left foot on the running board and basically slide out. Left leg keeps it from being an actual slide, more like a supported glide as the right foot comes down to the pavement.
That or the same as sccamper with the slip n slide tactic. 6'4, even with the lift and tires it's not that bad. 37" inseam...long *** legs. Developed from running from your mom's house.

Ok I'm done I swear

I used to run that in my engine and a little on my seats.

I use the running board and step down. Just replaced the drivers seat bottom cause of tearing from sliding out.

Being 5'5" - it's usually interesting but I slide down the edge if the seat to the running board on my way out. Bolster is holding up really well so far but I plan to recover at some point anyway.

My first glance at that I thought it said you could sell your kids as antiques.

I use my grab handle and step out using the rubbing boards. My seats are in great shape and I'd like to keep that way.

Also 6'3" though, so really don't need to. She sits a bit taller after the lift/tires though

For the first few weeks I tried climbing out of the back, but I kept getting lost trying to find my way. Once I did I was disappointed that there was not an inside handle. I've sense resorted to falling out of the driver's door like I am drunk. It is just easier.

I swing my left foot onto the running board, then use the grab handle to standup and step to the ground with my right foot.

My seat bottom looks about the same as it did 4 years and 40k miles ago.
