'The Tragic Comedy of My Car Door'

About a month after I first bought my car from Henry, who lives on Amherst St. in Colonia, NJ, I realized the inside door handle had begun to crack.  A few months afterwards the handle completely broke off, and I had to then roll my window down and use the outside handle every time I needed to get out.  Little while after that my Father was able to tie a string around the gadget that opens the door, so by pulling the string my door would open.  Soon enough however, the string broke and so once again I have to roll my window down and use the outside handle.  Finally the other day it had snowed and when I went to open my door it was stuck.  Now this was very common as it had frozen shut plenty of times before, so I just began pulling harder...and harder...I realized something was amiss but decided I'd investigate the matter further after just ONE MORE PULL...

That's when the front piece of my door handle broke off.

When I climbed inside from the other door which opened right away, I realized that I had somehow accidentally locked my door, and that's why it wouldn't open.  I can't believe I hadn't thought of that but I never lock my door, and it's unfortunate it had to happen on a day where it had snowed.

Also a couple of weeks ago someone hit my parked car and put a nice dent above my front left wheel, so now my door slightly brushes against it when it opens and make a very loud noise.
        I can still open my door from the outside, I just have to use both hands, one to push up what's left of the handle, and the other to jam a couple fingers underneath it.
