I'd like to see WheelmanSS' opinion... lol

Sterling · 04-04-2012, 09:26 PM

I usually go to my bank's walk up ATM because of how awkward it is to do the drive-up.
Trying to get a helmet through the window is pretty funny too. I loaned mine to Molloni at atuocross last year and he tried to hand it back through his window. You don't realize how small they are until you try something like that. I hope I never have to try and crawl out one of these windows in an emergency situation.

Lol same here. I usually try to go to a bank with a walk-up one if they have it.

yeah, the ATM is embarrassing...

I mean do you want to look like an idiot trying to "squeeze" through your window to get money out... Or a bigger idiot having to get out of your car and walk up to the drive-thru ATM....

I go late at night, lol

MEDISIN · 04-04-2012, 10:59 PM

No drive-thru's no matter what car I'm in. Park it, get out and walk in, otherwise don't stop.

Haha yeah going to the ATM is pretty hard. You have to like hang out of your window lol

I dont eat or drink in my car unless its water. ATM's are a no go. I find a safe place to park and walk to it. But I agree the windows are very small and can see them being a PITA for such things

Sterling .....I wish you luck on trying to fit out these windows.

m-m-my-camaro · 04-05-2012, 07:04 AM

hahha the small plight we have to deal with, but at the very least, you get nice comments from others as they try to hand you food.

Grimlock · 04-05-2012, 10:59 AM

The ATM by my job is leveled for SUVs and is just an absolute pain to use. I rarely use it so it gets me by surprise every once in a while.

heRS · 04-05-2012, 11:40 AM

The bank ATM is my biggest peeve. Oh, and every other car I've ever owned I've enjoyed sticking my elbow out the window on a nice summer day. Not the Camaro, to accomplish this I have to have my arm at an uncomfortable angle up, feels weird so I don't do that.

I hear ya - sometimes reading people's replies on here I wouldn't be surprised if someone replied "What?! You drove it out of your garage?!

"

Or better yet...

"WHAT?! You actually ENJOY your car? Put that car back in the garage and you stare at it and think about how many miles you just put on it!"

Reminds me of one guy who replied saying he does not enjoy driving his car every day. When I got done throwing up in my mouth, I had to re-read his post to make sure he really posted that.

Back on topic -- yeah, drive throughs, ATMs, etc are a pain. Where I work the parking structure requires you to swipe your badge to enter. There's been a few times where I have to decide to push against the center console so I can pretend I'm escaping through my window to reach the card reader or if no one is behind me I have to back up and readjust to get closer to the card reader.

Try crawling out of the window when you put your car in an elclosed car hauler and you can only open the door 6"

Soloshawn · 04-05-2012, 12:24 PM

I have to turn my head sideways (7 5/8th) to lookout the window and then turn it straight again. Reversing that situation in an emergency would be funny though when the fireman try to get my head unstuck from the window.
