Pretty funny stuff. I was just cleaning out one little building we're going to be demolishing soon and I found a nice big roll of shrink wrap. I intend to hide all the knives we have and then wrap Mr. V10's truck with it. Should be interesting.

Will do, John. I've got to wait until he does something to deserve it though. I can't just do it out of the blue or I'm due for some mean payback.

Long time, no see Caleb. Sounds like you've been busy. Did you buy that truck?

before you buy anything try a store like sams club etc they often have huge bags of pellets that they will give you. It is what a lot comes packaged in. hallmarks are also great to ask.
You can also go to a furniture place and quite often you can talk to the warehouse guy and he will front you a roll of the wrap. Do not ask how I know I just do. Just ask.
My daughter who shall remain nameless said cooking oil is great too pour on after all is said and done. (did I raise these little heathens?) She also added that prior to wrapping totally coat door handles and gas cap in vaseline put vaseline on wipers...just make sure you want to do this because it could cause issues in the next rain if she doesnt clean em good.
hey everyone! How is your evening going?

Hell thats more then I make
I dont have the time for this, and have to much going on in my life right now to deal with this but heres what happened today...
Im at work talking to a few regulars and I happen to look out and see someone going in my truck bed (habbit to keep looking now since its been broken into so many times) I walk out there thinking Im about to kill someone..err I mean chase them off..
and they get into a car and leave. Now they were on the pass. side of the truck and I was coming up on the drivers side so i couldnt see the people. I memorized the plate, as they drive off, I open up my truck and everythings there so I walk around to the bed, theres straws sticking out of the cracks where the doors are, they tried to stick condoms to my truck and theres 50lbs of rice poured into my truck bed (now I gotta alot of crap in there so I cant just take out the rice I gotta take everything out). So I remember one of my employees telling me another one of my employees (Jenna) was going to try and prank me, then I think about the car that drove away..yup it had to be Jenna. I texted her asking what her plate number was, and then said I bet the first three are F15. No response back. Then i found out the rice trick works like this: It gets wet, swells up then drys hard as a rock to the truck bed. Im pissed. Fast forward to when I get home, Theres about 654845646845486754 zillion forks in my front yard...
Now Im all for pranking friends of mine, but not knowing this girl on a personal level really and theres never been any small pranks before this I feel like she crossed the line. I dont have time to spend hours picking forks outa my yard and bushes. Or breaking apart a 50lb block of rice from my truck..Now I will get her back and it will be epic... she shall never wished she messed with me..
Sorry for the long post, now back to your regular scheduled O/T

Rubber EMS gloves and duct tape them to the exhaust. Buddy of mine had a crappy S10 pickup we did it too. It was such a POS that it almost killed the engine before it blew the glove. We three gloves, one inside the other, on his tailpipe. When He pulled out of the lot, he had a 4 foot purple hand waving at the back of the truck before it blew. He thought the engine had blown and about crapped himself.
Cans of sardines. Simple...pour the sardine juice down in the cowl panel. They also cook pretty well on top of a cat converter.
Shrink wrap like Pete said....do the whole car several times.
Another good one that's not car related. We took several (about 20) packets of Taco Bell hot sauce and put them between the toilet seat and the toilet in the BR at work one day. One of the guys that's always pranking everybody else has a daily routine and that's the first place he heads to every morning. He sat down, screamed like a little girl and it sounded like he was tearing the BR apart. One of the guys went in to check on him and we was sitting IN the sink splashing cold water all over himself down there. Priceless.

Anyone have any ideas (other than oil/vaseline/etc) to keep him from just grabbing the loose end and unwrapping it? I wanna mess with him, but I don't wanna get his truck too nasty. That's just plain mean.

well hell shrink wrap it and then duct tape it and then oil it
how easy were you going to make the end to find? You cannot find shrink wrap end to easy especially if it is tight and underneath.
Cris I was hoping Jim would get here before the girls all left. I was thinking they would have got him pretty good.

We used to get a bunch of neon colored rags and tie them together at the ends to make like an 8 or 10 foot tail. Stick an "S" hook through one end ot if and hook that under the rear bumper somewhere, wad up the tail into a ball, and set it up under the truck where he won't see it. When he takes off, the tail unwinds and he's dragging a multi-colored tail behind his truck wherever he goes.
