So there I am, after a long day of racing at Charlotte Motor Speedway today. I grabbed a cold beer and a water from the cooler and headed off to the awards presentation.

What's that? Oh noes, this beer is a pop top!!!! I almost cut my hand trying to wring its neck!

What shall I do? I desperately want this beer!

Ahhh, remember it, visualize it., learn from it... YES! At the Colony Inn last month, I saw young Mr Westerfield pop a beer cap off using nothing more than an unopened bottle of water! At the time, I thought it was a great party trick.

As I stand there holding an open beer in one hand and a bottle of water in the other, I am thinking it was more of a lifesaving technique we should all learn.

Thanks for the tricks, man!



-Kevin

This probably works on lots of different cars, but I know for sure it works on BMW E30 trunklids- you can pop the cap off using the oval/rectangular holes in the underside reinforcement "ribs" of the trunklid as bottle opener. My trunklid is full of bottlecaps thanks to my "friends" doing this........



:D

Amateurs. The bottle of water doesn't have to be full. Good stuff though.

Glad I could inspire you Kevin.

You guys are awesome. Saw this thread yesterday morning, and then got to demonstrate the technique that afternoon at a 4th of July parade when the beer in the family cooler was assumed to be twist-offs, so we had no opener. My extended family was impressed that I could open a beer with a 20oz bottle of Coke. :)
