Taking it in the Shorts.

So, my SD has been delivering Pizza for a while. I just got her back today, so today was the first day I drove her to work in almost 6 months.

My roommate had been having one hell of a time at work with the car, because he would rip the a$$ out of his work pants every so often getting in and out of the car all the time. he lost 4 pants total. well today the SD decided to take out a pair of my shorts.

Funny thing is my roommate called me and told me there was a needle and a spool of thread in the car for just these occasions.

I've had this happen before, but never so many times. There is nothing wrong with the seat, they just rip as you sit down. seems maybe I'm out of step with the car.

Figured you guys may get a laugh out of it, the guys here at work sure did.

Well, if he doesn't have on any pants, something ELSE might get ripped . . .

You sure there's not a spring or something sticking out somewhere?

Excessive girth? Excessively tight pants? Droopy drawers?

I mean, I've never been accused of being slim in the past 20+ years and I've never ripped my pants getting in or out of a car no matter how low or high the vehicle.

You have a broken spring that pops through the bottom of the seat when pressure is applied. Easiest resolution is to get a thin cushion seat, the kind people used to use to make them a bit higher in the seat. After I tore my suit pants twice, I figured it out. 81 300SD
