I hope not!!

 

If you believe that one I have a bridge for sale at a good price.

 

Im in the market for a bridge! I was gonna say, I can't see any mechanical way that could work!

 

Works great if you have an assistant standing off camera hitting the unlock button at the same time you hit the tennis ball.

Looks like it's a good way to get a nice dent under the keyhole though.

I wonder if she would come and try that on my truck?

Haha I was waiting for some comment like that

 

I think it would work.
1. if you seal EVERY hole in the door.
2. If you seal around the lock.
3. If someone is standing behind you to hit the button.

 

I'm at work so the computer wont let me see the video, but if it's what I think, it does work sometimes. I spent several years at a locale dodge dealer as a front end tech and when we locked keys in a truck, sometimes, not all the time, you could hit the door just under the handle and to the rear and the lock would pop. Some guys could do almost any truck anytime, I could only do it maybe 1 out of 10. I did win some cash one day being cocky with it, bet a buddy I could do it to his 05 dodge and with luck I did the first time, could'nt do it again in ten trys after that though. You need to hit it hard enough to trip the switch but not dent the door. Try it, you might be suprised how easy it is.

 

And this video was brought to you by your local body shop specializing in small dent repair.

 

It could be just me (there is a little bit of crown in me right now )
I could swear that the area around that keyhole has dented in somewhat. look at the light reflection. Not something I would try with these thin sheetmetal vehicles we have nowdays.

A two-lane steel bridge is free for the taking in Lamero, Ky.

Officials from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet want to give away an 85-year-old bridge on Kentucky 490 near the Rockcastle-Laurel County line in order to build a new span over the Rockcastle River, the Lexington Herald-Leader reported Sunday.

The state will disassemble the bridge for free and move it to the location of your choice, provided you rebuild it and promise to maintain it for 20 years.

Kentucky officials hope a county or town will apply for the bridge to use it as a walking or bicycling path. The cabinet is soliciting proposals for the span through March 28.


Hijack over

 

I'm gonna get somebody a bridge for their birthday!
