Broke in with a rag, 2 bic lighters, and a piece of powerline from a linesman truck.

kind of proud of this, but shouldn’t provide instructions, lest everyone starts stealing dodge nitros.

I cannot figure out how you opened the door, but I did figure out how to blow up the Dodge Nitro with these items.

Improvised version of the break-in tools I have. Had better stuff, but it was locked in a running car, (on what’s colloquially called “ghost town highway” About 40 abandoned towns right on the 13 highway, If you drive the whole thing.

I doubt anyone is going to go around stealing Dodge Nitros

they’d have to figure out what the 3rd pedal is for.

Thanks for the laugh. Glad you were able to get in. Being stuck like that is no joke.

very few complaints about nitro, It’s thirsty, and the radio sucks, but it does its job.

Immediate 10-fold improvement, but still.

I kind of love/hated the HHR panel, which I still have.

My son got locked in my father’s 90's Ford pickup, with power locks, after we strapped him into his car seat. The truck wasn’t running, and this was in my driveway, but he was 3 or 4 at the time. Not awesome. I was able to pry the door open enough to give him a stick that he could use to hit the U/L button on the door. My wife was in the house at the time.

When we went back in the house later, the first thing he said was, “guess what mommy! I got locked in the truck!”

All’s well that ends well I suppose.

IMO the HHR is trash but the SS is fun trash. Often fun trash is best fun.

ymmv
