it sounds crazy but i hear woman are now carrying a small can of wasp spray instead of pepper spray. it will spray from 20 feet away. one hit of that stuff in the face will get the job done.
Wasp spray for self defense is a bad idea. Stick with the Pepper Spray. Wasp spray is unproven and has never been tested on humans. Wasp Spray will NOT work on those who cannot feel pain i.e. drugs or alcohol. Pepper Spray is an inflammatory which will cause the eyes to slam shut no matter the situation. That’s why over 40,000 law enforcement agencies carry it nationwide and even the smallest canisters will fire 10 ft while the larger will canisters will fire 25 to 30 ft.

Actually, AAA suggests that you park close to wherever you are. You risk people hitting your car when they open their door, but its the safest place to park. Park where there are a lot of people walking by, where you/people can clearly see your car.

Plus, personally, I think you risk looking like a douche when you park far off on its own. No offense.

Damn I can just imagine getting hit with wasp spray. Getting O/C Pepper sprayed was the worst experience in my life. Getting tazed wasn't so bad. I just felt retarded when my muscles started spazing.

A lot of times I think maybe I shouldn't carry my gun for reasons like this, because if I caught the guy doing it, there's no telling how that would end for him. Then I'd spend life in jail for murdering some fuckin idiot.

I had something similar happen where some guy in a Silverado parked about 2 feet from the drivers side of my Z. I had to climb in through the passenger side. What pissed me off was when I got to the drivers seat I see him walking to his truck laughing.

So I opened my door into his door and left. No damage on my end but if there was it would have been worth it.

Sounds like a redneckin *** wipe. I was at a gas station and this hillbilly says " nice ******* car! " I didn't know how to take it. Was he paying a compliment or being sarcastic because he's not over the civil war. Idk.

the door handles on the Z are really well designed in the sense that if you open your door into someone elses car, it only damages their car and not yours.
