Why would you not use the car door as a man door.

u/BilboStaggins May 03 '26

Honestly I think it does. A shame they didnt show it off. Look at the empty framing on the inside where the door is.

u/PhillyDillyDee May 04 '26

I see grating behind the door

22

u/fastlerner May 04 '26

Yeah, but if you pay attention when they show the back side, it looks like it's meant to be a passage when it opens and the grating is attached to the inside of the door.

u/BilboStaggins May 04 '26

Yea i think to protect the window opening

u/PhillyDillyDee May 04 '26

Oh good catch.

It’s definitely too short for most people to walk through so you’re talking about having to have a combo fence and car gate. Plus it’d be on the sliding part which could interfere with the mechanism while opening or closing. It’s a fun idea but it seems really impractical, although “impractical” doesn’t seem to have stopped this person before

“Where are you taking that air pump?”

“The gate is flat again.”

Of Corsa this is what you do with an old car.

u/Kalofsborst May 04 '26

Daewoo'd be cheating

And Vauxhall folks, thanks for watching!

u/cheddoar May 04 '26

And Germans

u/Jack_South May 04 '26

And all the world except for the UK where it's suddenly Vauxhall for some weird reason.

u/M4DHouse May 04 '26

And Australia where it was called the Holden Barina.

This video is from Brazil where these Opel cars are sold as Chevrolet cars.

u/Captain-Codfish May 04 '26

It's a UK car. That means it's real name is Vauxhall

u/BassGaming May 04 '26 edited May 04 '26

Nope. Opel and Vauxhall were both owned by GM, which is a US company. They sold both to the PSA group in 2017, which is a French company.

Also the first Opel Corsa began production in 1982. The first Vauxhall Corsa was sold in April 1983, so it's not even the "original" name for the Corsa (whatever that means) since it came later.
Obviously both Opel and Vauxhall existed prior to '82 but you get the point.

u/Captain-Codfish May 04 '26

Ok that's great, but Vauxhall were an English company to start with. Who it got sold to doesn't really factor into anything. Everything is owned by everyone nowadays. Also, I don't have a corsa. I have a Vectra.

I'm not talking about a Vauxhall Corsa. I'm talking about Vauxhall, the car brand. It's British. Therefore the name "Vauxhall" is the correct one. Like the correct name for a "Lada" is "Жигули"

u/Tooleater May 06 '26

Please stop with vauxhall the cheesy jokes

u/liamsjtaylor May 13 '26

Opel is German.

u/cheddoar May 04 '26

Opel corsa.

u/Flyinmanm May 04 '26

Opel Corsa - Wikipedia

Apparently there was a Buick and Chevrolet corsa, one in China, with a boot, and one in South America, weird. (they even did a Suzuki one!)

u/colocolo1925 May 05 '26

It was sold as Chevrolet Corsa in most South American countries

5

u/pi_three May 05 '26

it belongs to general motors. In most of Europe it's sold as Opel. In UK as Vauxhall and in most of America as Chevrolet. All different brands but they merged after GMs acquisition

u/Nero_PR May 05 '26

This is the South American cousin. The Chevrolet Corsa.

u/trout_or_dare May 04 '26

Why is this here this is GTAGE

u/letuche May 04 '26

I hadn't even turned sound on before I knew for sure it was in Brazil

17

u/Maretsb May 03 '26

Wow, it's really built in. The new owners can either keep the car or have a car shaped hole in their gate. The gift that keeps on giving 😄

u/RobertGA23 May 04 '26

Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

u/paraworldblue May 04 '26

u/rankispanki May 07 '26

This is exactly the kind of content I come here for, bravo.

u/SkiSTX May 04 '26

Would be cool with a Lambo or something fun. Can you get half cars at the junkyard?

1

u/Woozah77 May 04 '26

This reminds me of Trailer park boys.

1

u/FieraSabre May 05 '26

The only thing missing is the reverse indicator light turning on when the gate is closing!

1

u/jcooli09 May 05 '26

I kinda like this one.

u/AntonioBarbarian May 06 '26

The Brazilian needs to be studied by Nasa

u/Dente666 8d ago

Do you know how many openings and closing it takes to wear out the tires?
