Odinson Posted July 27, 2021 at 01:42 PM Share Posted July 27, 2021 at 01:42 PM He shot 'through the window'. Not clear from the article but I'll assume it was a closed window since he missed his target three times at what must have been near point blank range. Audi windows must be pretty tough.

Bitter Clinger Posted July 29, 2021 at 11:57 PM Share Posted July 29, 2021 at 11:57 PM three men tried to carjack a driver on the 3100 block of West Ainslie, but they couldn't get away because they didn't know how to drive a stick shift, These days being able to drive a manual transmission is a lost art. If you have a stick shift car, it's like a built-in security system since no thugs know how to drive it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
