[Shotimes] Quirk, or "feature"?

[lewis]

I was trying to save a cycle.  Cause when the passenger came back and opened
the door again, they would relock, again.  So if I lift my behind when they
get out, that saves one cycle.  Those things don't last forever.  It is only
a little motor with gearing spinning at high speed.

That's really interesting...However, wouldn't it have
been easier just to unlock the doors with your finger
instead of working out your abs? You are a tall guy;
there isn't much head room to keep lifting yourself up
and down. :)
