Another thing that that happened at my job once.....a guy's key were taken and wrapped very tightly in duct tape. The duct tape ball was then placed in an autoclave and allowed to cook all day in there.

By the end of the day the duct tape ball was a solid hunk of plastic, with the keys deeply embedded inside.

It took that guy a couple of hours to dig his keys out.

Roll down his window, then take some broken glass and strategically place it along the window sill, on the seat and in the foot well. It will give the techs at the glass shop a good laugh!

No matter what you do, you need to make sure it stays friendly or escalation could turn into something UGLY.

use a grease gun to fill all the fingers in his gloves.


screw his tool bucket/ tool box down to the floor then put the tools back in it. Funny at quiting time.

remove the valve stems from his tires, and then put the cap back on.

dump rice down the defrost vents, then put the fan on high.


remove the steering wheel, and set it on the passenger seat

put grease on the bottom of the windshield wipers. that one is a gotcha later, lol

Yeah, later when he's on the road in traffic, not expecting his windshield to be obstructed

Cars should be left out of pranks; plenty of other ways to pull off a friendly joke.

Armour All someones leather seats.. They do that in the ambulances here to the new guys

You can also put koolaid powder in somones shoes. Their feet sweat will activate the powder and die their feet Fruit Punch Red or Berry Blue

or my favorite... On a road trip after the person in the front passenger seat falls asleep, stealthily pull into a truck stop and pull in front of an idling semi with its lights on. Grab the steering wheel with both hand and yell "OHHHH SH******T!!!!!"

You may want to do prank number one to the passenger seat to make clean up easier after the last one

I shouldn't tell you these things....

BUT I WILL! Becuase it is deserved.

Slices of "BOLOGNA" placed on a windshield early in the morning will bake a design into the glass as the sun rises and cooks it.
You can cut the slice to resemble a smiley face - and once it is in the glass the glass must be replaced in order to get rid of it.
*The beauty of that trick is that you can pre-make it and carry it in a lunch pail - like a "PEEL AND STICK"

~Best position is directly in the drivers line of sight, so it annoys them forever...
(It won't come out ever. It bonds to the glass)

Limburger cheese smells bad all by itself. Imagine it smeared on an exhaust or intake valley after it has baked for a while....

The old "POTATO IN THE EXHAUST PIPE" trick is only good if nothing damageable is parked behind it.....
(They expell at high speed sometimes. Picture potato peelings for fifty feet behind...)

ARMORALL the rear wheels of a rival just before a race... (you need an accomplice to do that, with a supposed "BLEACH" spray bottle)

Forget the zip ties around the driveshaft. That happened to me, and I knew immediately what it was.

But if you duct tape some wheel weights to the driveshaft, so it drives normally but there's now a slight vibration... That'll get a guy annoyed pretty easily until he finds out what the problem was.

Foaming shaving cream bleaches paint. That's all I'm going to say about that.

And eats the wax and screws up the clear coat really bad.

Hmmm.....I am thinking that maybe I should stop shaving.

Here's a good one a buddy of mine pulled on a buddy of his: my buddies friend got the the first Mazda Miata in the area and one of the first, period. For the next few weeks, all my buddy heard was "Miata, this and Miata that". The his friend offered to drive to the SF bay area to see a Giants game, of course in the new Miata. They made it to the middle of SF, in rush hour and the Miata died and would not restart. They had to push the thing out of an intersection, then call a tow truck. The guys at the Mazda dealer informed the owner that the car was so new, they didn't have any info or parts on it, so they would have to leave it there, then pick it up in a couple weeks. Not only did they miss the Giants game, but had to pay big money for a same day airline fares to get home. Once they got home, my buddy called a local trader paper and took out an ad that read something like, "Mazda Miata for sale, very low miles, like new" then listed the price which was about half of what a new Miata was going for. But the best part was the last, "Must sell soon, call (his buddies phone number) only call after 10 PM" For the next month, his buddy was flooded with late nite calls about his car that he didn't want to sell. Good fun and pretty harmless.

That's good! Never thought about that one. I had a friend in high school that had a 280zx. It was easy to get in to and we would undo a plug wire so it skipped bad. Obviously not gonna work on a diesel though...

The problem with that is that new input shaft bearings on the rear end when you do that to one cost a chunk of change.


You really want to think about what you are doing. It's one think to embarrass someone - quite another to cost them money or possibly strand them somewhere.

At one end - you have an embarrassing joke
The other end of the scale can be life threatening.


Vehicles really ought to be inviolate unless it is an outright war scenario - or unless you think like a thief.

SMALL pranks are another matter however. Things that do not damage the vehicle BUT TRULY DO SUCK!!!

That is the direction we should be thinking in.

Especially if they make the owner look like a total BOOB!


FOR example-

WHAT HAPPENS when you fill all four hubcaps on a car with GAP-FILLING-INSULATING-FOAM? If it doesn't pop the cap off, and you can let some air out of the tires one at a time so they have to be changed....





Do you see anything that would be damaged aside from an EGO?


DO YOU KNOW A DRIVER WHO DOES NOT WISH TO ATTRACT OFFICIAL ATTENTION?

WARNING!
This one involves littering. ONLY biodegradable tissue should be used
(Septic tank safe)


Slide under the back of a car with a roll of toilet paper and a spool of wire.

Run the wire from one rear leaf spring to the other so that the toilet paper roll is suspended in the center with about two or three feet hanging off

(Ensure that the roll spins freely)





Guess what happens at freeway speed????????


We tested that late at night when Miramar was still a NAVY base. It works best with several rolls mounted on a spare mop handle (have the paper "Fall down the front") that has a hole drilled at each end, and the attaching wires already set up.

Two guys can roll under, wire it in place in seconds, and stand back up like nothing was going on.


I KNOW




*NOTE: It is prettiest with several different colors and patterns.... Crepe streamers may also be used
(He notezzz, idly)

**What is truly amazing is just how high the slipstream of the car throws it up in the air behind it. You can get a really good idea of the disturbance your vehicle makes in the air if you have someone follow the car and video the entire spectacle

The shape of it shows many things about your vehicle aerodynamics
(Which is what we were after)



In the end we decided that the lower "CONTRAIL" you had - the better slice you made through the air



WTF - it was GRAVY duty in SOCAL







Currently listening to Boston - "Corporate America"

Small gravel in the hubcaps......Drives ya NUTS....

Cat **** in the vents...As stated before, turn heater on full blast, and remove the *****.....(Yes, don't **** me off...)

Call a stolen car report in...Via a payphone and their license plate #....Makes for an interesting night....

Use a SMALL section of coated wire (Stereo, etc wire)....Run it from the coil to the seat springs/frame...Makes for an interesting startup....

Diesel...hmm....

Tape mouse traps on the pedals.....Should be an intersting thing to watch....

If you have access to jump the truck, etc...Simply move it about 8 blocks over.....
