Everybody, the old guy was trapped in the car. The little kid spotted him and got help.

i hate all the politically correct bs on automobile operations. voice says “door is a jar” — no its still a door. doors lock automatically after a certain speed or stay locked if the transmission is in go not parked. this over engineering is dangerous.

LOL. “68 is elderly?” were the exact words that came to mind as soon as I saw the man’s age.

That is not elderly. Not even close.

If he’s that fragile, he probably needs to rely on someone other than his wife, who seems to have more important priorities in her life.

I am taking this as he was weak because he was overcome by the heat. Break the window before the heatstroke sets in. Also, keep a pocket knife with a glass breaker in your pocket. The knives I carry all have one and you can get some cheap Chinese made ones at local gun shows and many local businesses. I have even been able to scratch glass with items on my key chain and then just kick the window (I have tried it and it works). It will shatter.

“I’ll bet the car is a GM product.”

Nope never seen a problem like that on GM car.

Honda on the other hand. A little rain and the circuit board in the door gets wet. And then anything can happen.

I’m glad it’s not just me thinking this! How was a three year old walking around alone? Thank God he saved the man, but what the heck are his parents thinking? Couldn’t some man in a car just as easily of scooped him up and drove away?

Yes. Since the government owned them they were required to put ACA-mandated death panel locks. They were counting on this to work. This toddler just caused out country to go intop bankruptcy!

Couple weeks ago I pulled 20 4” round wooden fence posts & 4 4x6 square posts stuck 3’ in the ground, out of the ground, by hand.

I couldn't match you on the posts, no doubt, but ride dirt bikes and mountain bikes and can run up many flights of stairs.

My mother just entered an assisted care at 97, but I've noticed many residents there who are only around 70 and seem older and more frail than her. I feel badly for many of them. Life can be too short sometimes.
