They do have a light truck: the BT-50. Like the B-Series, it’s essentially a rebadged Ranger.

Except for Mazda’s claims, is there any real reason to believe that this car is not in fact propelled by demons?

Being on the ground in a self defense situation is a terrible position to be in, especially if there are multiple assailants.

Keeping it in her purse is worse than useless: it will give her a sense of security (and hence make her less attentive) while also being hard to get at. If (and that’s a big if) she’s going to carry any sort of self defense aid/weapon, it must be something she can get into her hand and positioned correctly instantly.

Sword canes are illegal to carry in most places. They are also usually pretty lousy canes, so they’re more decorative than functional on that front.

Someone’s going to start selling 10mm sockets in 50 packs and make a killing.

The rear sprayer on a hatchback works even better.
