This thread might have been better named: "Corvette WTF" because although there was lulz, there was absolutely no win here.

I dont understand how he couldn't see the strap below to release door.... When you enter the car, it's very noticable.

God electronic locking is so stupid. I hate that we even have it for the hood release, thank god we don't have it for the doors. What the heck is wrong with good old mechanical cables and levers !?

I like the Vette a lot, and anybody who can drive one well gets my respect. But they do seem to attract an unusually high proportion of owners who can't work their car properly.

0-60 did a nice collection of corvette fails :

if you ever see a Corvette owner's club out for a "fun run" - take cover!

since i dont know anything about vette's, i will ask the stupid question...is HE stupid or can you really not open locked doors from the inside when the batt is dead? i.e. to me, this seems like an "america's stupidest people" vid in which theyre making fun of someone who cant get OUT of a locked car, ya know? but since i dont know anything about vette's, thought i'd ask...

fire away.

There is an emergency door release lever inside the car.

But apparently lots of Vette owners don't know about it :
