........ The Lambo doors have always been confused with suicide doors.

Look, I think if you get enjoyment from something then great, we are only here for a short while, but I just don't get things like this. I would rather spend that sort of money on performance mods, new suspension, better brakes, etc. etc.

Good luck with your project though mate!

That's kind of where I am as well - spend money to make it go faster / handle better.

But if the original poster will get a kick out of suicide doors then good luck to him - each to their own.

BTW why are they called suicide doors - I have always wondered?

I found this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suicide_door

and this:

http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=432020

Neither seems particularly satisfactory - alright they might have been a bit less safe than trad doors - but why SUICIDE doors - seems an odd choice of word?
