[Tfug] OT: Looking for a car

[Chris Niswander]

This is an easy decision!

Just call auto parts stores to ask for which kinds of cars
replacement auto glass is easy to find and cheap!

Then buy one of those cars, and you'll be ready for the next
time the baseball bat bandit comes around. :-)

Come to think of it, sounds like maybe you live in a bad neighborhood.
But even if the baseball bat bandit gets in a little accident
in which one of your neighbors accidentally shoves his head
through your car window, you know you'll be able to buy new glass.

While you're at it, in case of more violence from neighbors,
also buy seat covers to protect your seats from bloodstains.

BTW, can I also interest you in an extra ignition lock and
a steering wheel lock?
