So your story from high school is essentially, "there was once a car with two dogs in the back seat".
Need advice: building a James Bond-ish secure 100

Any piece of s*** kia can make it to 100k miles without problems. It's what happens after 100k, and more importantly after 200k, especially of rough driving that's important to most people on this forum.Off topic for sure, but I can share that my ownership experience with a 2017 BMW X5 has been amazing. 100k miles and it had never caused me problems. Brakes around 70k miles and regular maintenance. Regular maintenance is pretty reasonable too, $100 for oil change every 7500 miles, brake flush ($190) every 24 months, water pump, spark plugs every 80k miles.
BMW v8 are another story altogether - friends don't let friends buy v8 BMWs
What kind of regression are we in that we are once again thrilled that a new car can make it to 100k miles without major issues?
Perhaps I didn't give enough details; though no need to be snarky.

Look for a 200 on a southern border state already armored
I remember a post of used 200 on BAT or cars & bids in the mid $40k range that spent time in Mexico Texas / Arizona. Probably more common place there and the work was done. Plus all the power of the 5.7 to lug the additional weight. They included receipts and armor rating info. Was impressive just couldn’t roll the windows down more than a few inches.

I was walking past a car when a Doberman stuck his head out of the passenger window and tried to take my arm off.
He missed but I still remember all of those teeth.

Sorry I missed the post about the cordless hole puncher...
I recommend something like the Ruger LCR in .327 Federal Magnum, and an Ergo Delta grip.
Yes, it looks weird and has an uncommon chambering. It holds six rounds and has an internal hammer.
The benefit of the grip is that it reduces recoil. This fits in a front pocket holster and largely isn't noticeable.
The benefit of the chambering is that it can shoot 5 different calibers: .327 Federal Magnum, .32 H&R Magnum, .32 S&W Long, .32 S&W Short, and .32 ACP (the ACP won't eject normally). Some of these rounds may keyhole and be inaccurate past ten feet, but my belief is that you can always find SOME ammo when the common calibers are all sold out. The first rule of hole punching is "have a hole puncher". (Apologies if this kind of photo is verboten)
