    It actually will.

    Just take a sledge to the door jam so the door works again and drive it...

    cool, definitely check over the "frame" for major damage that might affect handling. Also check suspension but if it's all cosmetic I wouldn't worry about it.

    Is there any crash comparisons between a Tacoma and a Jetta? You since dad knows best, Jettas are apparently safer.
