Chevy 1500 crew cab, Z71, lifted. Doing rotors and pads. Have to pull in about a foot and a half more forward than usual to have the shop door clear the rear bumper.

I can't get out as I have a two post lift and the front truck door hits the main lift beams when opened leaving maybe a foot of clearance to exit cab. I can't do that at 64 and husky. I look in the big back seat. It's clear. I do the acrobat routine over the center console between the seats to the back, grunting and groaning. It was shameful.

I gear up mentally after the work was done to do the reverse and get back in from the rear seats to drive it out but it was worse going in vs out. I'm finally in the driver's seat, sucking wind and yelling out loud in my empty shop, "Are you effing kidding me?"

Then I straightened my largeness, arched my back to dig for the keys and............empty pockets.
