P938 fits nicely behind an Infotainment System Screen, 357-Mag, not as good. Both equally effective if needed!

Small tool set and since I have non-runflats on the car, I keep an air compressor and plug kit in the storage compartments.

Even those of use with runflats are well advised to keep a compressor in the car.
If you get a slow-moderate leak, you can stop and air up the tire as often as necessary to get to home or a tire store.
If the leak is large enough that the compressor won't do the job, there's a good chance that the tire is toast anyway so don't worry about the distance.

A couple of years ago I started a post in C6 General, asking how far people had actually driven on a flat runflat. The winner went something like 600 miles on a flat because all the stores were closed. He finally stopped because he arrived at home.

My son has a C7 and he puts things off. He got a flat and didn't get it fixed for 3 weeks. Drove to work every day for those 3 weeks 35 miles a day round trip. And then drove down to the coast and back before taking it in to get it fixed. The kicker is when he took it in to discount tire to get it fixed.....they could fix it and he went on his way!

Did he drive with it flat the whole time, or was he airing it up from time to time during the 3 weeks?

Bullet placement, bullet placement, bullet placement....

Took a .17 Remington (.222 Magnum necked down to .17 cal.) to Africa, made four one shot kills.

If you're a good shot - hit ping pong ball 9 out of 10 shots at 15 yards - all you need is a .22LR - put 'em in the eyes or the throat.

Exactly right. People, often novices, like to talk about how great a large caliber bullet is when it’s all about placement, the ability to hit center mass quickly, repeatly and reliably.
