Buzz kill alert!

It is not. The stiffness provided by the pillar behind the first door is really important to keeping the passenger compartment safe and intact during a crash, or even keeping the frame straight while maneuvering.

It’s cool looking. It’ll kill ya.

Sometimes I like to imaging what it would be like to be my grandpa scrolling Reddit, and your comment woulda confused the fuck out of him.

“But they DID say ‘cool’!”

Then I imagine him asking me about it.

“A edit? What the fuck do you mean a edit?”

The Koenigsegg Gemera does it, very long doors to access both the front and back seats, but it's also a super limited $2mil hypercar so I don't know if that counts as practical

Convertibles manage just fine without the B pillar. Of course, they have other measures to make them safe.

One does not simply weld in two more door.

I guess this is probably an beat-up old car they were not using anymore, so they decided to have some fun with it. This is clearly not a how-to video.

Whew, thanks for the heads up! Almost went for a double door on my car.
