Say, I've always heard of sugar in the tank and mothballs too, but what does the mothballs do? I know the sugar re-crystalizes in the carb or whatever, but I have no idea about the mothballs.

But no, all I get is "talk to the neighbours and call the cops". What kind of girlie response is that? What has become of you...I am very disappointed!

P.S. Show me what you've got, don't let me down again!
Whew...that was harsh....

How about running a spark plug wire to his gas tank?

Or, if you don't want him dead, then I'd say sugar his tank. That'll keep him off the accelerator for a few

And then, to top it off, eat 1 lb of Asparagus and pee all over the interior - THAT will keep him out of the car for good!

Take an empty mason jar and relieve yourself into said jar.
Put the lid on, and let the above mentioned jar sit in the sun for a day or so.
In the wee morning hours, pour contents of the above mentioned mason jar into the cowl vent. You don't need too much either.
This probably won't stop the "Revving Idiot", but I figure he has P.O.'d you for so long, it's time to send it right back....

See, all you needed was a little motivation! Good job! Now you're back! Got anything else? I like the spark plug idea!

He is a Chevy / Dodge guy so you know he has quarts of oil laying around. Go steal two of them. Add Bon-Ami to said quarts of oil. Return oil to idiot. Wait for him to add oil, stand back and watch engine come apart.

Slip a fish on the intake manifold. After it heats up, it should smell pretty bad. Also, open a can of sardines, and place it under the seat. In the hot sun, the car should heat up and smell really really bad.

Saw a suggestion for a similar problem on here...


someone suggested while he is doing the "offence" in this case revving...sit in the driveway on a lawn chair with some music (mettalica if you like..) and clean your gun...biggest one you got. And make sure you look at him and smile every once in a while.

Heard thats a sure fix and...you get your gun cleaned out of it and some time in the sun

Go to Home Depot, and buy a can or two of spray foam, (like 2 bucks, then go to the isle with the tubing and get a few feet of 1/4in clear plastic tubing. Attach a 3 foot piece of tubing to the can, and late at night, go over and push the tubing up the tailpipe, then shoot the whole can of foam into the muffler. ( Even midway in the pipe is better, because if he checks the muffler, it'll look ok, and he'll put it back together never thinking to check the pipes.

It'll sputter and die when he tries to start it, there won't be any sign of tampering.

Problem solved.

Now I remember...

Take a can of shaving cream...

Freeze it...

Then, while still frozen, cut the can off...

Take the block, put it in his glovebox...

It will expand and make a nice little mess...

Hey guys! Maybe I'm a bit too late to join in, but I would try talking to the guy. I know that being on public assistance can have adverse effects on people. Maybe he just needs someone to talk to. I'm not saying to be-friend him, but maybe he's a decent guy under all the revving. If not, then at least you know you've given him his best shot.
Are these vehicles licensed and registered? NY says they have to be, or get them done. Also, here you are only allowed to have one vehicle while on public assistance. You may be able to turn him in for violating the pub. assist. law. Or just turn him in for being stupid! No license, no registration. Get the police to enforce the law. You can always sue the guy or the cops into taking some action against him.
I'm sure this is driving you nut's, but take it easy and be rational. You don't want to stoop to his level with damaging any thing. With you luck, you'd be caught and he'd still be out there the next day doing his thing.
Good luck buddy and hang in there.....
