We have all been there Steve! My wife and I were coming home from a wedding
and got a block from the house and the car died. I hit the door switch and
nothing, I couldnt even lift the door because the door solinoid wouldnt pop.
Here we are all dressed up and cant get out. I too start the Bricklin crawl
then my wife(in a dress) starts the Bricklin crawl. She was not happy!!! As
it turned out the alternator went out and drained the battery.
OK folks lets here em, whats your Bricklin Crawl story?Lets make Steve feel
better..:-)

so here i am with my newly acquired 75 bricklin #1509 parked outside an
autozone parts store trying to get my doors open. Press the button - no
movement. Press it the otherway - nothing, same thing passenger door. Of
course a crowd has started to amass to look at my predicament, and to
see what my large german shepherd was barking at. (some one parked next
to meet in a suburban with a great dane hanging out the window). Lets
see, original doors - dead battery? - no don't think so - hydr. fluid
all over the inside of the car? - no, not that - oh brother, nothin left
but the bricklin crawl - 270 lbs through the back window - finally make
it without catching anything precious on the rear lid spring - insert
the key - it starts - ummm. sudden inspiration - check the door switch
on the driver side console. STUPID DOG - LOCKED ME OUT.
As if to offer some consolation to me after witnessing my embarrassing
egress, a pretty young thing (anything under 40 is young) says as I pull
away, "Really nice Volkswagen"
