pranks?

[broken_line]

i really have nothing to do till the ground temps rise enough to plant.. so i decided to get creative and take a 4 prong flat trailer connector and hook it to a car horn! plug it in! zip tie out of sight and now when ever he blinks or hits the breaks it goes off.. i will put a video up tomarrow assuming it works. anyone have any other jokes that wont break anything on the vehicle?

I remember putting a banana in a muffler. Looking back now that could be real bad. The idea is the car would back fire before any carbon minixide(sp) poisoning happen, which of course never did.

Duct tape a couple wheel weights on the drive shaft, it will vibrate like crazy!

[DUCKAHOLIC]

a zip tie on the drive shaft is pretty common...

I could go on and on with this one

My favorite is to run washer fluid hose up under the dash and wire the pump up to the brake lights. Nothing funnier than a really angry person with a wet lap.

The radio wired to the blinker is pretty fun.

Stinky cheese on the intake manifold. Not so much for a new car but a beater.

There is all kinds of fun stuff to do.

The old gm'S Where pretty easy to swap the right and left turn signal pins so the lights went opposite of the way you signaled.

Spray snow on the inside of a windshield during winter is pretty funny.

Us older farmers when we were kids used to put gun grease on the back side of tractor steering wheels when the thrashing crew ate dinner, you never heard such talk.

One of the easiest pranks I would always do as a kid on the "older" cars would be to put the radio station on static and crank the volume to 11 and wait for the poor unsuspecting soul to turn on the ignition.

I don't think you can do that on the new stereos though.

We used to do the same thing with anti-seize except we found many creative places to put it. That stuff is brutal! Our shop now has an anti-seize truce.

moving the seat all the way up turn on the wipers move the mirrors turn on the flashers vaseline the handle, move the steering wheel. do all this at the same time and its a pretty good one...

One of my old ones you could use Jer, is when one of the other techs steps away from a job, place an extra bolt or two with the others. Then sit back and watch him wonder where it goes.

[Jeremy airjer W]

Oh we have all been there and done that!

[Black_Bay]

Isn't there one about transmission fluid in a vacuum line? It smokes like all get out.

You could always put a rainbow sticker on their bumper too.

I printed off a label and stuck it on the outside mirror that read "objects in mirror are dumber than they appear" took him a while to see it. That was funny!

I'll turn the a/c on in the parts guys trucks when they drop parts off in the winter. Full cold, a/c on, fan set on low. I'll do the same thing with the heat in the summer. Set em to low and that way they be way down the road before they realize its getting chilly or hot!

Reminds me of one I did at work that almost went too far. There was this guy who bought a new Harley and suddenly thought he was all it. He knew nothing about it other than how to ride it. Each day he'd park it, walk by and say "keep an eye on my bike", not asking, basically ordering. So, after a couple weeks of this, he got pretty obnoxious, so I took it upon myself to set him straight, so I started putting a bit of drian oil under it each day. Once he noticed, I'd see him kneel down and look at it in wonder each time he arrived. One day I noticed it wasnt there and he was driving his car. A week or so later he was back on his cycle and old routine, but for some reason stopped to chat. He said he had just got his cycle back after a week in the shop to check it for an oil leak! I couldnt hold back my smirk, and he said "whats so funny". The best I could come up with is "I thought they all leak! Not sure if he ever figured it out, but I think he suspected, and he was just crazy enough to not mess with again.

I did the same thing to a co worker with a new Harley first day he drove it to work, only difference was that I used new clean oil and he went nuts! The guy was seriously bummed and called his dealer right away and made a service appointment angrily. thats when I had to tell him what we did... and I really dont think he has forgotten about it several years later.

I had a neighbor that had a no mufflers on his truck and it was very loud, and he would start the thing up every morning at 5 am and wake me up by revving it up for 5 minutes. I had a junk vehicle, I cut the mufflers of it and snuck under the neighbors truck one night and clamped them on his truck. I just wish I could have seen the guys face the next morning when he started his truck, and revved it up and it was quiet, then to crawl under it and see someone put mufflers on it. They stayed on for about a week, then either they fell off, or he took them off, I never did tell him it was me. I still get a chuckle now and then.

I had a neighbor put my house up for rent while I was on vacation. The sign read for rent really cheap. Call (my home number) when i got home there were so many messages and notes on the door. So when phone book time came around, i put an ad in the local paper saying to leave all your old phone books on his driveway with address. When only a few hundred books showed up, i waited til after christmas and did the same thing only for christmas trees. now that was the best all you have to do is say that they are being used for a habitat project and leave in driveway or yard. He as far as i know never figured it out. Oh well. good times.

Sweat from all the horsepower. Good one jeff!

Back in the day we used to charge up the condensors, as in plugs-points&condensor and leave them lay around the shop on other mechanics work benches. Yowser they could bite! Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Years ago we duct taped a empty pop bottle to the drive shaft. Used a half a roll of duct tape around the gas filler cap and put a thin strip of duct tape on the wipers!

You ever put a golf ball in a tire?

[LOTWSvirgin]

Shrink rap your buddies car or shrink rap 2 or 3 cars together but that takes a lot of it. Also had a buddy with a some what of a low rider S10 we put blocks under the rear end so he couldnt go any where. He even called a tow truck to tow it.

[Scott K]

When I was in college we picked up the teachers truck (Ford Ranger) and put the rear bumper on a fence post, so the rear tires were off of the ground, and he couldnt go any where after school. The truck was still there in the morning. I guess he had spent a couple hours trying to get the truck off of the post, and he couldnt do it. So the next morning, a few students went out there and helped him lift it off.

I've had that happen to me. You get a couple layers of that stuff and its almost impossible to get it off the car unless you use a razor blade to cut it.
