Gotta love those Hondas! Anyone follow "Click & Clack" (Tom and Ray Magliozzi) of "Car Talk" fame? They also write a nationally-syndicated newspaper column. This is one lucky woman from today's (July 10) article.
"Dear Tom and Ray: I live in Los Angeles. I have a '93 Honda Civic Del Sol with 127,000 miles. Last week when I was driving home from work at 75 mph on the southbound 405 freeway, someone in a passing car on my left or someone in an oncoming car fired a gun. The bullet, a .40-caliber, went through the door and hit me in the chest, then ricocheted and fell onto my seat. I suffered no injuries. The Special Investigation Unit is now handling the incident. My question is, what is the cost of fixing the bullet hole in the door of this car?" - Ellen
Might be a reason why LEOs spend so much time testing the penetration ability of their carry loads. And, no, Ellen didn't say anything about Kevlar implants.

What idiot is shootin' guns on the highway!
Lucky for her it wasn't a .357SIG bullet. She might not have been around to write the letter!
