The wind was so severe here today that I went to the store, opened my car door, the wind caught the door and blew the door open so hard, that the door latch snapped. I drove home with a bungee cord around the drivers and back seat doors....have to take the front fender off tomorrow to get at the door bolts and take door off.......ugh.....

A very appropriate trick for us here, as we always have a tuber handy....

C'mon Mark, you know better than to ... uh... open your door when it's windy?

Bloke's right, that sucks. I hope it was at least an old car! Frankly, I don't know how cars stand a chance up there with all of the snow, ice, and road salt that must be up there.
