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.
