    Cool idea, but I don't think the window frames would be sturdy enough to support the lower door weight, but a bit of metal fabbing could remedy that, I am sure.

    keep dreamin.

    If you don't mind making the windows useless, split the door in half. Have the lower half fold down like a private jet's steps.

    Yeah, Lambo (scissor I think they are called) would be REALLY kewl... and I've looked at an RX-7 thta had them done... its doable for any car... there is a company that makes the hinges that can be basically installed into ANY car with a decent amount of enginuity and skill. Who's gonna do it?! TTYL!

    Coach... I mean Randy (I often forget who I really am)

    A buddy of mine is doing them on a lifted H2 Hummer with a 16" lift kit and 42" tires. I will post some pics when they are done. He told me that they can done for the VX. Push out and up!

    Is this too dorky?

    I want "van doors." You know, like the side passenger door on a van. Pop out a couple of inches and then slide back (or slide forward). Would make it tons easier to get in and out of the VX in a tight parking space (since I have cladding, I generally don't worry about door dings and can park in the teeny tiny spaces with little fear).

    Anyone know why no car (at least that I have heard of) has had "van doors" as the primary door type? Are they just less reliable or just nobody thought of it?

    PS - VCAMILO - your "vxavitar.jpg" in your .sig is really ticking me off. You've got some sort of password on that file so it won't load, instead it pops up a login box that has to be manually dismissed every time I load a thread that you've posted in. I'm sure it is happening to everyone else too. Very rude dude.
