but I drive a manual transmission with roll-down windows.

As a Luddite I salute you. I have a landline wall phone and no cell phone. Admit I no longer have a rotary dial on it.Do have a minute phone for car emergencies, though.

Takes so much gas driving around to look for a phone booth on the way to a video tape rental place these days. Gas runs low.

There’s an ink pin made to star and break a window for use in a situation of trying to exit a vehicle. My problem with any options is keeping cool, thinking this needs to be done, and doing it. In the river, in the fire, under fire, it is a life threatening event. It’s not what most people including me think about a lot. Risk assessment and reactions under stress require quick thought. Not easy. Now apply those thoughts with the NYFD and all their training. Think they looked at the towers and thought they were going home at end of shift? Things happen fast, got to try to be prepared. Sometimes you win, sometimes you don’t.
