Best vehicular pranks

[slavallee]

What is the best prank involving a vehicle you have been a part of or the target of?



I'll start the bidding. While in high school, my buddy Dave had a beat up Bonneville. He knew nothing about cars so it made this all the more hillarious. We cut class and snuck to the parking lot undetected. While there, we jumped the postitve lead for his brake lights to his horn relay. Everytime he touched the brakes, his horn came on. Stayed that way for a whole day until we took mercy on him.

I always liked the zip tie around the drive shaft. Harmless but effective.

Some [censored] friends pulled that one on my poor CTD at school. :{



And they used the huge industrial zip ties!#@$%!

a little Limburger cheese tucked up under the dash somewhere makes for an interesting adventure, especially in warmer climates!

Or shrimp under the seat!

Oh Gee can't stop .

A friend at work played one. He jacked up a car just high enough so that the wheels were off the ground. The driver was all that bright. He puts it in gear and stomps on it. No go. Then tried revererse and no go. Then tries slamming it in to park. Grinding in and out of park and reverse. He gets out and looks underneath then figures it out.

Vaseline under the door handle

A coworker got me good with that, we worked nights, so darkness concealed any chance of me seeing it.

One of my bosses drove an old police car that he bought from the City. It was a '68 Plymouth. One night we took an electronic flasher and used it to by-pass the ballast resistor. When he went to start it, it would die as soon as he let go of the key. Then he mashed the pedal. It would rev up, die and recatch before it stopped--rev up, die and recatch...

We wer standing at the gate waiting for him to come down and open it so we could go home, laghing our butts off.

Neverseize just about anywhere, or a forklift backup alarm wired to the headlights, brake lights, etc. Once at work we pierced the lid on a tuna can, placed it inside a coffee can with the lid on, and left it out in the sun for a couple weeks. Afterwards, the coffee can lid came off and the whole can put in one of our road tech's van (everyone uses old coffee cans for storage, after all. ) I guess it was at least a week before he found it, and when asked about the smell he kept saying that his dog had crapped in the van LOL

done that... we packed the underside of the handle right full... toothpaste also works well... also, if you want to be down right mean, put in some dog poop up in there instead. . nasty. . you could flatten the persons tires with a valve tool. . i once used a big pack of lunch meat and evenly coated the windshield of a buddys car :-laf ... it also snowed that day... so you couldn't see the meat until you got in the car. that was the deed i did in return for toothpasteing my drivers side door handle... #@$%! #@$%!

Whatever?

Whatever happened to a potato up the exhaust? If it fails you still have a potato projectile... ... . Of course hard to find 4" potatos for CTD... ... ... ... ... ... .

pranks

When we lived in a small town, the town cop parked on a certain corner waiting for someone he could pull over for some infraction or other. One night a log chain was (carefully!) tied around his rear axle and the other end, with pleanty of slack, was tied to a cement anchor. Then one of 'the guys' sped past him without stopping at the stop sign. Needless to say, his chase was a short one! It was also safe to say he was 'less than pleased'!

We had a little potato fiend in High School. It was so bad that you had to check your tailpipe each day before starting to leave school. Once we found out who it was, I used a #2 pencil to draw lines on the underside of his distributor cap connecting all of the secondary posts. This caused all of the spark to go to every plug, but not fire across the gap. Apparently, neither the kid nor his dad were mechanically inclined, and they took the vehicle to the Cheby dealership. At the end, they replaced the entire ign. system for about $500. 00.

If you have access to get inside you friends car, take the paper remains out of a 3 hole punch for and funnel them into the AC vents, turn the AC on high and sit back and enjoy the party when they start the vehicle.

 

[slavallee]

RBachant, that is hillarious! I'll have to try that on my fiance's Neon for her birthday. I'll make sure to hole punch lots of different colored paper. I'll sneak in a pointy happy birthday hat and ask her to drive me someplace. Then..... SURPRISE! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



I can't wait!

for the machinist in the crowd... ... blueing ink under the door handle leaves a lasting impression



for the mean spirited folks with a foreman you cant stand, a straight pin through the trailer wiring harness will keep the fuse salemen in business a few weeks longer...

If you are riding shotgun with a person that has the parking brake handle in between the front seats (most compact & small cars) inconspicuously use your left hand to push in the lock button and pull up slightly on the brake lever, usually about a quarter inch until the BRAKE light illuminates on the dash cluster. Work it up & down to Flash it until he or she notices.

This is one from my buddy in Idaho - he called me to tell me about it and could barely get the words out for laughing so hard.



His sis and bro in law turned up one very cold day and were hanging out eating his food, watching tv and generally being a nuisance. He took one of his son's VERY NASTY daipers and carefully placed it under their hood on the exhaust manifold near the heater vents.



They took off and went about 200 yards and then the car came to a screeching halt, all the doors came open and everybody bolted outside - he said he could hear the gagging from his place.
