Its great when bystanders rise to the occasion. A point of interest, If trapped in a car and needing to break a window. Pull out the head rest and use the metal prongs to break out. I've never tried it, but sounds like it might work.

I drove right past where that happened the day before in my 964. It was about 20F. Glad they all made it.
