I’ve seen plenty of cases that people got locked outside their cars as they left their car keys inside and somehow accidentally locked it. But I’ve never heard of someone getting locked in their cars due to a dead battery.

Have you heard of a door handler that won’t work if your battery runs out? Never have I, and General Motors ain’t that sort of a dumb company either. But then again, there are people that are dumb enough, making this world so entertaining at times.

Apparently an owner of the sixth-generation Chevrolet Corvette coupe got ‘trapped’ inside his ZR1 because he never read the manuals, which again proves that Southpark is correct!

When the battery dies on a C6 Corvette, the door-release buttons stop working. General Motors isn’t in the business of creating sports cars that turn into traps, so it installs (very obviously marked) levers on the floor that, when pulled, manually open the doors.

This ain’t no rocket science, but there are guys who aren’t really smart either to realize that (and they tend to be the perks that talked the most). But then again, when you do freak out, you tend to not notice things and sometimes lost your sanity and logic sense, and when your friends are kind enough to find it hilarious and videotape it, well, they are helping a lot.
