I still want a mare's leg in .357 for a car gun, especially since I carry a .357 revolver and always have a box or two of .357 and .38+P Gold Dots in the car. Just haven't seen one available when I had the cash available.

IMO, it might look a bit more convincing than a revolver when you swing it up and crank one into the chamber as the guy gets too close, plus it should still be a decent coyote gun out to the ranges I'm normally dealing with at our land.

You're assuming a wide-open drive through. Taco Bell here, in particular, has a lane barely wide enough for one vehicle, with high curbs that my Blazer would barely clear; most passenger cars wouldn't have a chance of getting out if cars were in front and behind. To make matters worse, it's grass for at least several car lengths if you do clear the curb, so in wet weather you might still be stuck.
