You people have it all wrong. A very gentle close wearing cashmere gloves is the only way to go!

It's a hood, not an eggshell.

I thought I was **** about finger prints but I'm glad there are others out there like me.

I lower the hood to the point where once I let go of it, it will close without slamming and without having to push it down. Regarding no finger prints I only open and close the car door with the handles and I open the trunk by lifting from the bottom and close it using the inside handle.

I hate when passengers close my door using the windows!!

I do that too, but sometimes it doesnt close because it was too low.. but the instructions clearly say to slowly put it down till latched then press down to close.. lol...

HAHA...I am so **** about fingerprints too. I open my door by the handle and close it with my finger only touching the little black vinyl between the window and the door. I close the trunk by the interior handle. Now the gas door is impossible. I open it with my knuckle but have to close it with my finger. Wish they could make it automatic.

I was picking up my daughter from daycare and this kid stopped by my car and leaned his hand right it while I was sitting inside. Of course, I immediately opened my door and tried to politely tell that stupid little boy so get his hands off my car. What the hell are parents raising these days. My daughter will never touch anyones cars. She knows better.

Finger prints? You mean you guys don't wear one of these when you're about to go near your G?



You all fail.
