For the sake of throwing out topics while LASur5er et al remain silent, I wanted to ask everyone what steed *ahem* they think would be appropriate for the roads of America (read: continental United States.)
Now I've read enough threads on carjacking in this forum to think on what I'd like ... having driven narrow city roads, thought about multiple situations (being run off the road, having to ram through roadblocks, go over sidewalks and gravel) I've decided:
(1) Low-slung racers are NOT a good idea.
(2) Off-road capability, small turning radius are good.
(3) Impact-resistant bumpers/body are a must.
I've come to the conclusion that a jeep wrangler might be the answer ... or a volvo, if needs be ... I mean no car is really bullet resistant (esp. through the doors argh) ... what is your idea of an ideal "ride"? KITT from Knight Rider notwithstanding. What mods would you make to it? Would you prefer to have a weapon other than your regular CCW (say, cruiser-config shotgun, wrench, rabid weasel) in the car? And be reasonable ... if I wanted an armored car I'd get a secondhand BMP-2 from the UK.
Opinions, please.
