I keep a crowbar under my driver's seat and an aluminum baseball bat on the passenger side. The last time I had the car inspected, the mechanic asked if I played baseball. Looked him dead in the eyes. "No." I think he got it.

The crowbar is great for when I'm standing at the gas pump, if needed. A crowbar says "crazy," and there's some protection that comes with that label. Don't approach me. Don't talk to me. I'm not the one. Solo female gotta take care of herself.
