Oh boy! BubbleBobble just posted K! gah, that is so FUCKING FUNNY!!!!





On an unrelated note to my previous comment and a related note to this thread, is it true that it's easier to break your car window if you're underwater and there is water pressing down on the outside of the window?

1/30/2010 4:50:05 PM

Electric windows - yes.

Hand crank windows - no.

1/30/2010 4:50:54 PM

I keep a small tool set in my car, but it does not include a hammer.

1/30/2010 4:51:23 PM

i have a t-ball bat that makes a nice bill club for me to do head crackin with

THIS IS LIFE AND DEATH PEOPLE

Why come?

Electric windows are unlikely to work once the car is submerged.

Your hands will still work.

1/30/2010 4:53:16 PM

i'll just grab the pistol and shoot it out if i have to

1/30/2010 4:53:55 PM

No, but I do keep a bigass emergency maglite 9mm in my car.

Never know when you might need to do some wig splittin' won't have time to mess around with hand to hand and have to straight to poppin' the cap.

1/30/2010 4:55:34 PM

i just want to not drown, not kill people trying to sell me a bag of oranges at my window

1/30/2010 4:57:29 PM

Al Quaeda oranges

1/30/2010 4:59:32 PM

I have the window breaker, seatbelt cutter thingy.

My parents got it for me when they realized what a reckless driver I was.

1/30/2010 5:03:30 PM

think i got it on dealextreme or dealperfect for like $8

[Edited on January 30, 2010 at 5:06 PM. Reason : actually shows the glass breaker part]

Somewhat related...

Somehow a car found its way into the bottom of the middle of my complex's pond last night. Apparently this isn't the first time its happened either.

1/30/2010 5:17:21 PM

you live at The Links?

1/30/2010 5:17:57 PM

Once a car is submerged, no windows work, as the pressure gradient is too great, and there is too much force against the glass for it to open.

The electric windows may still work though if the car is full of water. Electricity follows the least resistance, so connections and basic electronics work till the battery is dead or they short out.

That would work if you are under water, but I would probably just break the glass with the pistol if I'm on dry land.

1/30/2010 5:22:40 PM

i find the best course of action is to not drive underwater. so far its worked out pretty good for me.

1/30/2010 6:10:00 PM

Hammer, not so much. I do keep a knife in case I find myself trapped in the seat belt though...

1/30/2010 6:11:36 PM

nope

i dont react well in pressure situations

if it's time for the pilgrimshoes to go, well then so be it

1/30/2010 6:13:57 PM

Yes, in case anybody wants to fuck with me. Hammer to the forehead = problem solved.

1/30/2010 6:16:13 PM

I keep a hammer in my car. It's not just for emergencies.

1/30/2010 7:01:35 PM

If you'll buy a $20 item for something that has about a 1 in 500,000 chance of happening, you would be better off getting a machete to cut off your arm if it gets caught in a machine before it pulls the rest of you in, its a far more common cause of death, and machetes have a million uses.

I keep a bigass hunting knife under the middle of the seats, if I had to I could break some glass with the pommel.

1/30/2010 8:01:46 PM

so, I was waiting to turn left onto a highway once and there were two guys ahead of me.

the guy immediately ahead of me decided to honk his horn at the leader to relay the fact that he was in fact being an asshole by pussying about the left hand turn. anyway, all three of us get an opening and as we get onto the ramp the leader car stops, the guy gets out of the car and starts shouting at the ancy guy in front of me.

ancy guy gets out of his car too, but also brings out the billy club he keeps next to his seat--he starts walking forward. within about three seconds of the leader was on his way.

just another saturday, I guess...

1/30/2010 8:20:38 PM

No, but I do keep a bigass emergency maglite Chuck Norris in my car.

I bet Mr. Badass would have shit himself if the front man had reached back into the car for a weapon.

1/30/2010 8:40:07 PM

I don't keep an emergency hammer...but I do have a claw hammer, 5 pound maul, hatchet, shovel, 4D LED maglite, and swiss army knife.

Ohh yeah, and a pistol.

[Edited on January 30, 2010 at 10:06 PM. Reason : I always have a pocket knife too]

probably, but then again, why get out of your car and start shit if you have no weapon?

I'm just as sure that front man would have loved to have been sent to an all expense paid vacation to state pound-you-in-the-ass prison.

I keep a pry bar, gloves and a fire extinguisher under my seat when I drive. Got out of a few treacherous situations with those.

1/30/2010 10:25:29 PM

I don't have anything in my car for emergencies, but I just happen to have knives, machetes, maglites and all that shit in my car. Mostly thanks to Firebreather.

he'd have a good argument for self defense when the second guy came at him with a billy club.
