Car related PRANKS !

Thirty years ago we had a constuction boss with a real attitude! He was one of those high-strung guys who walked fast, talked fast, never laughed at anything and got real mean and mad about once a day and loved to yell at you face to face, his face turning bright red and the veins in his neck bulging. One day someone (wonder who?) slipped into his new brand new Ford pickup and turned everything on and up high, before turning the key back off. I mean the flashers, the wipers, the heater fan, the radio on as high as it would go-- everything that had a switch.
We laid in the weeds 'til he jumped in to go somewhere and watched the fireworks.
When he turned the key on he went ballastic, not knowing which switch to go for first. He was a jumpin' and and a screemin', his arms a flying around, "you no good dirty @#*&'s" and "what kind of rotten %$#@ would do a thing like that!" After he finally got everything shut down he drove off and didn't come back at all that day...slim

In Highschool on of the teachers has a VW bug. We got a bunch of guys and walked(move the front, move the back..repeat a lot) it into a corner of the building so both the front bumpers were touching and she couldn't drive the car out.

We did a similar thing to a VW bug in the school parking lot, only we moved the car next to it(belonged to one of the auto mechanics class guys) and then picked it up and turned it sideways. When the kid came out, he could'nt go anywhere until the other guys showed up.

We also put 16 guys from the auto mech class into a VW and drove it around the school gounds and local streets, we were piled up like cord wood in it, and one guy steered, while another did the shifting and yet another was on the gas/brake/clutch.
 
Friend ? would carry chain and lock in his trunk.He would go park with his girlfriend in farmers fields and he would lock the gate with the chain and lock. One night someone put another lock on the chain beside his.Took a long time to get out. My 2 cents lee34
 
My dad drove a black 1947 Ford to work, appliance dealership in Milwaukee... Large parking lot, and one day he had made it half way home when he noticed that he was driving a Plymouth- the key worked... So he drove it back, parked it in another different place... And for the next couple of weeks, made it a practice to move the other guys car every day...
My dad was a pretty staight shooter, honest and strick- so seeing this side of him was a treat for me...


Years later, he drove tiny German car, ever hear of a Gogomobile? $600, new...
End of the day, he was out the office door, employed as an accountant at a boatyard... His car was set up on four 55 gallon drums... The yard guys were snickering from around the corner...

More than a prank I guess - only do it to somebody who really deserves it.

Only works in winter

Take your portable air tank and put about a quart of water in it, then pressurize it up to about 40 lbs. Pump that quart of water into the deserving parties front tire.

When it freezes overnight the ice in the tire causes a terrible imbalance.

Once they drive a few miles the tire heat melts the ice and the imbalance goes away. Next morning it start all over again.

It's not easy being heartless, mean,wicked and cruel, all at the same time.
 
I've got a couple:

1st - I dated a girl in Chambersburg in the late 50's. An acquaintence of hers on the next street was engaged to her boyfriend but was a little weak when other fellows came around. Her fiance' drove a cement truck so one day as he passed her house, he saw a stray car in her driveway so he emptied a few yards on concrete in the front seat!

2nd - Out of high school and working for Grove Mfg. (mobile cranes etc) the yard men always were watching for new employees. Cranes were always running around the parking for testing so they would find and lift a new employee's car and put blocks under the rear axle - and set it back down. (just enough to let the wheels touch but no traction)(cars had bumpers then!) Everyone hung around at quitting time to watch the fun.
 
My uncle enjoyed the Model T coil shock treatment. He always told this story of my grandfather. My grandfather who was up in years was walking home from town and my uncle offered him a ride. Just as he reached for the door handle my uncle turned the coil on. My grandfather wet himself! Never being short for words, he gave my uncle a loud cussing. My uncle felt bad about it and offered to take him home. My grandfather told him to go to H---, walking wasn't taken up.

A worker at the local aluminum plant bought a new Volkswagen Beetle back in the late 50's, early 60's. He was always bragging what a great car it was. If you recall the early Volkswagens didn't have a gas guage, just a reserve valve. Some of the guys would add gasoline to his gas tank in the parking lot. The owner would brag he was getting over 50 MPG. This went on for several weeks. He told the guys he was taking his car in for servicing and was going to warn the mechanic not to touch the carburetor, as it was set perfectly. After the servicing the co-workers started taking gas out of his tank. The owner was really upset and said he told that SOB mechanic not to touch that carburetor..

This is a story that my friends dad used to tell us about the various pranks his dad would pull and I will never forget this one. Him and his buddies were always playing pranks on each other and one day he was in a hurry to leave work so he jumped in his car and took off. When he got home, he realized he left his wallet at home so he call the garage he worked at and had his buddy put it in his tool box so nothing happened to it. Big mistake, his buddy put wallet in a drill press and drilled right through it, money and all. Then put a bolt in it and tightened a nut on the other end, plus bent the end of the bolt so he would have to cut the bolt off.

Well, now to the retaliation car prank. Not to long after that, there was a big race that they were going to take their dragster to, so my buddies grandpa used a center punch to poke a small hole in each of the headlights of the 60 chevy that they were using to pull the dragster. He then filled the headlights with acetylene and sealed them back up. Well, they took off to the races and when it came time to turn on the lights, BOOM. Turns out, he put a little too much acetylene in the lights and sealed them a little to good because it blew the front fenders out from the core support and the hood flew up. I think they settled down on the pranks after that.
 
Long ago as a kid it was a treat to spend the night at my cousin's house. Now we had two trouble makers. Walking through the neighborhood everyone had their trash can's out, someone was throwing out a 50' green garden hose. Once the sun went down we ******* a few can's on one side of the street and a few more on the other side. And of course the hose dangled about 18" in the middle of the road. Sure enough here comes the hot rod kid hauling *** up the street, Going way faster than the 25 mph limit he hit the hose before he knew it. Slamming on his breaks jerking all the cans in the road . Sounded like a pile up on the interstate. Came real close to wetting my self, and that's why I couldn't spend the night any more.
 
My late father was always one for pranks. As a first year apprentice boiler maker(welder), his pay was very low. Somebody was stealing half a pack of his cigerettes nearly every day, so finally, time to get even. He grabbed some cigerettes, removed the tobacco out the end, added some gun powder, packed the tobacoo back in nice and tight, and off to work. Sure enough at the end of the day, half the pack was gone... Next morning he was sommoned to the boss's office to explain. Turns out the culprate was an older worker near retirement who use to bum a lift to work every day. That afternoon the smoke thieves were driving home with the windows up and both driver and passenger found the gunpowder at the same time and eye brows etc were burnt. Gets better. The car filled up with so much smoke they couldn't see, smashed the car into a power pole and wrote the little morris off. Police weren't involved, as he did this to his own smokes only, the 2 smoke bandits given a warning, and dad a stern warning not to do such things again on work premises.....never stopped his pranks to those deserving of pranks!!!
 
Fox urine like is used for a cover scent in a hypodermic needle. Poke the needle thru the weather strip around the windows and unload the hypodermic. Fox urine smells as bad as skunk urine and I'm not sure how to get it out of the interior.
 
A few years ago I met a teenager on a bicycle going the opposite direction. He was showing off for us with his arms crossed and no hands on the handlebars. After I passed him and was 20 feet or so behind him I laid on the horn button. I watched in the mirror as he frantically grabbed the handlebars and then flipped me the bird.

Farm kids amusing themselves:
Back in the 50s we would take an old tire and wrap it up in paper. Some may remember that is how new tires came. Anyway, after dark, we would tie a rope onto it and set it alongside the road. We would be hiding in the bushes. A car would go by and see the new tire alongside the road. They would do a turn around but when they came back the tire would be gone.......Some of them went back and forth a couple of times looking for that tire.

The old man had a 36 Ford farm truck 1/2 ton. He took the drivers door off as many did. I was about 13 or so and we had it out in the fields mending fence. I left her running and started to work, looked up and away goes the old truck down the hill. I took off after it but was too late. She went about 200 yards and hit a tree at the end of the field.
That very truck is still in the woods down behind the barn 50 years later.
 
My uncle of a practically joker type told me about this little trick when they got bored.

Take a purse and fill it with dog sh*t. Place it on the side of a highway or well traveled street.

9 times out of 10 people stop to pickup the purse and 30ft after taking off throw it out the window!
 
Regarding the acetylene in the headlights trick: Just how do you poke a hole in a glass sealed beam (with a center punch, no less!) without shattering it?!
Smells fishy!

Speaking of "Fish":D,
A friend of mine told me he had put a dead fish and some Limburger cheese on the intake manifold of the car that belonged to a gentleman that ran off with his wife.:eek::cool:
