The victim grabbed the suspect's gun when he set it down to try to figure out how to start her push-to-start car​

A woman shot and killed a suspected carjacker in self-defense last month when he was trying to drive off in her car in a North Las Vegas neighborhood, police said this week, according to a report.

The victim and a friend had parked near another friend’s house as they waited to go inside for an early Thanksgiving dinner on Nov. 19 when a car parked in front of them, they told Las Vegas Metropolitan Police, according to FOX 5 Las Vegas.

Two or three men got out of the car and allegedly pulled the woman out of the driver’s seat and her friend out of the passenger's side. One of the suspects got in but couldn’t figure out how to drive it because it was a push-to-start.

My grandma has a 1979 mercury zephyr. Because she "doesn't know how to drive those computerized cars"
Oh ok grandma
That's a super easy starter to change......

I have a harder time switching between my '21 Silverado and my 14 Explorer dealing with the transmission 'lever'. I slap the steering wheel in the Explorer when I want to put it in Park. I also push the dashboard to start it.

Can't wait to get my Fairlane up and running, key in the middle of the dash, and either a 4 speed or a 6 speed manual. Pretty sure I can just sit back and watch a carjacker try and figure that one out if I manage to kill the engine before I let them try and take it.

Id be willing to bet that 2/3 of NES is under 35, sit in the basement all day playing video games, and don't know what a dictionary is........... if you know how to pop the side plate off a 686 and change the broken rebound spring, then you know tech........ [pot]

Wait I thought you guys were all 'prime of life' fit and trim stud muffins? All jacked, 6 pack abs, chewing concertina wire and pissing napalm? Have I made a colossal judgement error in life?

I have one car with the key in the dash, every time I got to start it I jam the key into the side of the column

I play in a band
We're the best in the land
We're big in both Chelsea and France
I play one mean guitar and then score at the bar
There's a line of chicks looking for their chance
So come on now honeys, I'll make you feel pretty
These other gals mean nothing to me
Let's finish these drinks and be gone for the night
'Cause I'm more than a handful you'll see
… So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round
… I can bench press a car
I'm an ex-football star
With degrees from both Harvard and Yale
Girls just can't keep up
I'm a real love machine
I've had far better sex while in jail
I designed the Sears Tower
I make two grand an hour
I cook the world's best duck flambe
I'll take the pick of the litter
Girls jockey for me
I don't need these lines to get laid
… So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round
… I'm the man of the night
A real ladies delight
See, my figure was chiseled from stone
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
Come last call, I'm never alone
I have a house on the hill with a red water bed
That puts Hugh Hefner's mansion to shame
With girls by the pool and Italian sports cars
I'm just here in this dump for the game
… So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round
So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round
… I'm a pitiful sight
And I ain't all that bright
I'm definitly not chiseled from stone
I'm a cheat and a liar, no women's desire
I'll probably die cold and alone
But just give me a chance
'Cause deep down inside
I swear I got a big heart of gold
I'm a monoganous man
No more one night stands
Come on, honey, let me take you home
… So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round
So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers
And I only bought her one round
… One round
… So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round
So kiss me, I'm shitfaced
And I'm soaked and I'm soiled and brown
In the trousers, she kissed me
And I only bought her one round

Mine was a convertible. Black with a white top. Bought it in 1954 for $150. Had hi-comp heads, dual carbs, twin exhausts with glass pac mufflers, orchid paint dash, imitation leopard skin seat covers and more. Went like hell. Real chick magnet. Jack.

I believe you are referring to the NES StudClub contingent.

That's how we roll!

I doubt anyone under 30 can drive a manual transmission car these days unless they're a gear head. I learned to drive in my mother's 1967 VW bug. Talk about the Model T of it's generation.

I didn't learn to drive in it, but remember my mom's '69 VW bug. It would roll out of the driveway every so often, lol.

I'm 27 and design computer motherboards for a living. The superduper high end ones with 50+ layers. They're so frigging fast some traces have to go the long way around because the speed of light literally comes into play and the signals have to be timed by trace length.

I recently caved and bought a car with pushbutton start and had to go back in to ask for a quick tutorial on how to start it.

the second paragraph is true, the rest is a pack of lies (well, lies as it pertains to me. The ideas there are valid enough, that's just not my job
