20 year-old South Carolina college student Jordan Dinsmore finished her shift at Buffalo Wild Wings and arrived back at her apartment around 1 a.m. When she got out of her car, she was accosted by three guys who shoved her to the ground, taking her purse and phone and threatening to shoot her if she didn't stop screaming. They ordered her back into the car and prepared to drive her away.
Difficulty: the stick-shift buffaloed the boys. One of them gave up and left on foot. The other two finally ordered her to drive. She did, but left her seat belt unfastened, and upon coming to an intersection she threw it into neutral, opened her door, and jumped out. Her car kept on rolling, ending up in shrubbery. A passing car stopped for her, and the driver called 911.
The two goons fled on foot.
Another good reason to drive a manual transmission.
