SF Gate: Freak fire traps man inside Audi...

[Larry C Leung]

The way to break windows is to use a sharp heavy implement to shatter a
few molecules which gets the glass to go POP! Unfortunately a shoe or
fist doesn't qualify, the force is spread out too much (i.e. not enough
pressure) to get the glass to break. I guess for safety, I'll have to
keep my rock hammer inside the car instead of in the trunk. I wonder if I
can get one with either:

A matching leather handle to the upholstery, or
Matching Pearl or Woodgrain
