I'd still shoot for the coil wire if you could get at it. Again, tough but you could keep a wire in your frame or bumper pretty easy. I was trying it with a bit of the wire they use to tie up chain-link fence. Looks very possible. You need a good length of it and again, a good light but it looks doable. Not sure if this would damage the vehicle or not.

Stopping a car with a firearm:

Pistol:
Occupants (depending on situation)
Tires
Radiator (hot day in LA, speeding car - it won't stop instantly but it'll stop quick).

Rifle:
Occupants (again, depends on the situation)
Engine block or transmission (once the fluid is gone an auto will obviously not be movable)
Radiator

Pistol assumes a patrolman in an 'oh #@$' situation. Rifle assumes a marksman with at least some time to make a shot. LE and Military will have different views on the subject...

You beat me to it, but a bullet to the block - pistol, rifle, it doesn't matter - will stop a car pretty damn fast.

I've alway had good luck with a coat hanger. No damage to the vehicle and easily stored in an inconspicuous spot under the truck.

Slimjims won't work on Monteros. There's a plate in the door frame above the lock rod. You'll pop the rod out of its clip, but you won't pop the lock.

87 Montero, bought new, by me -
88/89 intercooled Starion Turbo engine-
with awesome audio.
