    Had to look that one up....they would count if they were in the wagon!! Remember, the "station wagon door game" rules are very dynamic.

    This is getting serious. So we better consider this. Some heater and vent doors have little tabs that stick in holes to hold them and let them pivot. Therefore there are no hinges. :slap:

    I say it is if passengers enter and exit through it.

    Yipe, Lil Sis has a seat in the back so people enter and exit through the tailgate on hinges which should be considered the back door/gate thingy...:jumping:

    Where the heck is the guy that asked the question anyway? Does he have an answer??? These new guys they have NO idea how long we can drag out an answer.

    ;)

    I believe our Wagonmaster had the answer. I was just ignoring him!:rofl2:
    The confusing part is my wagon only has two doors and a split lift/tail gate with no way back seat.

    Evoix is a valet.Those guys never get past the left front door so usually don't have a clue how many doors are there.

    Door
    noun
    -a hinged, sliding, or revolving barrier at the entrance to a building, room, or vehicle, or in the framework of a cupboard.

    In the context of a vehicle, it means an entrance point for people or cargo whether there is a seat back there or not.
    I personally call it a "tailgate". But it's still a doorway, portal, opening, entrance, entry, exit to the vehicle.

    Call it what ever you want is my opinion.

    Door

    A door can swing left, right, up as in garage door, or gullwing car, even down like a clamshell.
    A door can even be in two or more sections as a bar room door.
    A glove box door is an access for cargo or gloves. Even older cars and station wagons had a golf club door. Your home or garage may have a doggie door.
    But I wouldn't count a fresh air vent door or heater door as a people door, or an ash tray as a door.
    I have been thru a swinging door, a revolving door, and many normal home and office doors, even a barn door.
    Never been thrown out a door but was refused entrance to several doors. I still don't know what's behind the "green door.":slap:

    Personally I never did like to hear The Doors sing.
    The dog got his tail caught in the screen door. Dad said "It won't be long now!":rofl2:

    4 or 5 doors will now be an acceptable answer.
