Actually, the interior wasn't too bad for me - it was a comfy ride (when it actually drove haha). I didn't notice too much about the roof per se. However, the paint over the entire car seemed to either be of poor quality, or it had succumbed to the effects of acid rain over the years.

Ha! I was looking for just that cartoon!

>> This guy is lucky the rounds even penetrated the hood, ...

> El Wrongo. ... Ever fire a FMJ CorBon +P.380?

Nope. I used to shoot .380 ball at a dump.
Wouldn't even penetrate old highway signs.

Not enough gun. Maybe Texas Cowboy could loan him his .50. That would surely put the car out of its misery.

I used a Carbon FMJ .380 in a Baretta; couldn't hit squat.

Here's a bigger version.

The old cavalry Sgt. just was overwhelmed.

"I think every guy in the universe has wanted to do it," McGivney told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. "It was worth every damn minute in that jail."

Yup.

John McGivney, 64, shot his 1994 LeBaron with a .380-caliber semiautomatic, Broward County sheriff's deputies said.

A 30-30 would be more appropriate for a LeBaron. You're liable to just wound the poor thing.

.380?? A Chrysler???

I'd go with the Bowling Ball Mortar...

Well, you might want to study the thickness and density of a highway sign in a dump versus the thickness and density of the skin on a car. A barefoot kid can kick in the side of a car. Then you may want to join the NRA, and read ballistic tables.

I had this good friend, Bill, who had a car that was an absolute disaster. Probably cost him $100 back in '76. I don't remember make or model. There was a cable inside it holding the engine in place. He'd once hit a pheasant and left the blood on the car, never washed it. Anyhow, when this poor old heap was on it's last wheel, he drove it up to the Rod and Gun Club and parked it downrange. The locals got a chance to shoot it up for a month or so, then he had it dragged to the junkyard.
