I'm sure everyone wreaked havoc in their younger days. We've all done it, what did you do? Panduit straps on drive shafts... Bearing grease inside the door handles... Unbolting drive shafts and putting them in the bed of the truck it was removed from...
chaining bumpers and axles...

Today we put the parking spot curbs under our bosses car right up to the wheels like chocks. And I mean between the front and rear so he had to drive over both to back up or 3 to go forward. Prolly would have been best to put liquid soap all over the tires too, but we were in a hurry. its all fair he wrapped our cars in plastic wrap yesterday.

Someone poured Draino into my gas tank.

I'd loved to have wreaked some havoc on their ass. : |

Had a work buddy many years ago who had a custom pickup that used a Ford(?) body with a Caddy(?) engine, or something like that. It required a special cut drive shaft to fit. This guy pulled a big screw up at work that was going to get ANOTHER friend...well long story. So two of us snuck over and pulled that drive shaft and hung it in a tree (plain view) across the street. However some county workers started some curb and gutter work there the next morning and thought it would be safer with the shaft on the ground. Our buddy flys out to go somewheres and... figures he's low on tranny fluid. After way too much fluid he looks under the truck for the puddle and realizes he now has TWO problems. He's now reduced to riding his 10 speed everywhere. He knows there is a guy a few blocks away that is building the same kind of truck (popular conversion?). He stalks this guy awhile but never sees the guy with the drive shaft so he decides that this other guy is just too clever for him. So he just beats the crap outa the guy to get the truth outa him. Seems like he dosn't have it. So my buddy's back to riding the 10 speed for another week. Pride broken, he calls my boss (the guy who fired him) and begs for any info. My boss, who knows nothing of this caper, tells him to call me. I'm STILL a bit surprised that it was so easy for my boss to finger me! Anyway my partner-in-crime and I went back and found the shaft and dropped it off in the middle of my buddy's living room floor, shared a few beers and talked about what it means to be friends. My buddy really was a good guy and funny too. I kinda miss him (and a few others). He got ran over by a Fire Truck responding to his apartment fire caused by the joint he left smoldering in his bed.

My brother was a fireman.
He told the story of the prank they pulled on one of their brother fireman.
They hooked the wire from the brake light to his horn.
On his way home he almost got his butt kicked at a series of stop signs.

Several years back we had a buddy that was very very proud of his Dodge Demon.

The car was white so my buddies and I got an idea....We located some Demon logos like the
ones on his car and converted them to read "Lemon" with a little creative x-acto knife work.

Those new stickers were affixed to some white magnetic material we had handy and we even
painted the edges white so that they would really blend in.

We all went to a local cruise night and he always parked in the Dodge group. We went
over when he was away from the car and put the magnets over the decals on the car.

Word went around that the fix was in for the people's choice vote for awards that evening.

He puffed up like a peacock when his name was called for the award and he couldn't wait
to get to the microphone to correct the "obvious mistake" they made in the model of car.

We, his friends, hollered back that "Lemon is what it says on your car, LOOK!"

I had fought fires with this guy and been through a lot of crap with him. This was
the first time I ever saw him speechless. It was as if he lost all of his consonants all
that came out were odd vowel sounds for several seconds, until he peeled off the first
magnet and saw we hadn't damaged the original decals.

With friends like us....

Just out of high school, a buddy of ours had gotten one of those first generation Honda Z cars with the 2-cylinder 600cc air cooled engines... we're talking TINY car. 4 of us could lift it by running 2 2x4's under the chassis, 8 of us could lift it and walk with it.

His girlfriend at that time (wife 2 years later... but I'm getting ahead of myself here) - his girlfriend's parents were going to be out of town on a Friday night so he thought he'd sneak over to her house for their first "all nighter." He was doing a BUNCH of bragging about all that was going to be happening that night so....

...so us being the sensitive types we were, waited til late that night and got about 8 of us and CARRIED his little car into her back yard, through the landscaping and put it behind the rocks BEHIND the swimming pool! There was NO WAY he could drive it out of her back yard - he needed to call us back up to ask to get some help lifting/carrying it back out to the front yard AFTER her Daddy got back home.

He lived to tell the story so we're still not sure WHAT he told her old man the next morning. We didn't hear if a shotgun was used at the wedding either but I bet he DID have a whole lotta 'splaining to do when Daddy got home!!

In college, one of my fraternity brothers squirted mustard on my car and stained the paint yellow. I plotted my revenge and saved up a quart of milk for a couple of months until the container was all bloated and distended. My plan was to take the cap off and leave it in his car on a hot summer day. I had a last minute change of heart, though, left the jug sitting on his hood and went off to class.

He later told me that he arrived back at the house and saw something black all over his hood. It turned out to be a carpet of flies. The jug had exploded all over his hood! It couldn't have gone better if I'd planned it that way.

He retaliated some time later by smashing a watermelon on my car. I struck back by duct taping the word "PENIS" in huge letters across his windshield. That was all he could take, and he surrendered.

Wow. You guys are good.


After Christmas, there's a bunch of Christmas trees lined up along the curbs for the trash people to pick up. We used twine, and tied one of them to the back bumper of a girl in my schools car while she was parked in front of it. The next day she drove all through the city with it dragging 10 feet behind her. She was very confused after she parked at school and saw it behind her.

School english teacher frequently left her windows cracked in the school parking lot. Just cracked about a inch. We cought a 2 black snakes, both about 3 feet long and slipped them thru the crack.

When she left she saw the first one. We ran over and took it out for her. Then she left. Word on the street say the other one was coiled on her dash the next morning.

She thought the car was infested and sold it.

That prank gave me the idea for this next prank:

My bud's car, his wedding nite. He was planning a cross country road trip for his honeymoon.

2 cans of sardines. One open in the floor board of the back seat. The other open, smashed into the springs under his seat.

The prank plays out like this:

Wow what stinks????
Oh, its these sardines, I will just trow them away.

Days later,
You know what, I can get that smell outta of my car. It keeps getting worse.

My ex-boss thought it would be funny to spray that fake window snow stuff on every window of my truck. The thing is is that it was damp and cold and winter. That stuff etched into the glass!!!! It took 3 of us over an hour to clean it b/c it would not come off! The windshield was the worst and I really thought that I was going to have to get it replaced. I worked on it some more over the course of the week and got it all cleaned up. I was NOT amused at all!

We had a kid leave auto shop every day squealing tires out of his parking spot in an old Ford Ranger. So me and a couple pals lifted the back of the truck and stuffed tires under the rear diff so his rear tires were off the ground about a 1/4 inch. Watching him floor it and dump the clutch only to go nowhere was fun!

Back about a year after high school (1986) my buddy had a '72 Nova. It was the middle of winter when he started noticing a really faint smell in the car when he went places. I remember it being one of those smells where not everyone in the car could even smell it. It was really subtle... and slightly fishy. It was never really strong enough to trace.... until spring!

It turns out that his evil ex-girlfriend had put a package of frozen fish fillets under his seat. The Nova wasn't good in the snow so he didn't take it anywhere but around town. The interior never really had a chance to get totally warm. In the brutal Wisconsin winter, those fish fillets never really thawed out enough to stink. As soon as he parked, they were frozen again.

On the first really sunny March day where the inside of the car got nice and warm all day long, the stench TOOK OVER!

The smell never really quite went away. Too bad, it was kind of a cool car.

That girl was evil.

When my uncle got married the 1st time, the guys in my family gave him hell. BB's in the hubcaps, open container of crickets, flour in the AC vents, and Vaseline on the windshield wipers. They didn't discover that last one until they got out of state, and found out the hard way!

True story...

I caught some friends of mine making a huge snow penis on the roof of my Camaro when it snowed in Atlanta a long time ago. They had a good laugh about it and started to take it down when I said, "No... lets make it bigger!". We made it really big, added testicles and drove around smiling and waving at women until the police stopped us. The Marietta, Georgia police were not amused in the least. I got out of the car and pretended to be surprised as hell by the huge penis on my roof, but it wasn't very convincing. They made us take the snow penis down and then made me smash it so it didn't look like a penis. They weren't that concerned with the balls, though.

No citation issued, but I'm not sure it would have stood up in court anyway... ahem.

Oh yeah. Once in high school a girl egged my car. It dried before I found it and took some paint off when I tried to clean it.

I got back at her by coating her entire steering wheel in vaseline. She was *pissed.*

> huge penis on my roof

lol!

Wanna nasty Joke??? Here ya go.... crack a egg open and let that slide down your gas tank.lol Your car will run till it suck's up the egg white and stall. Then it releases after your car stalled and lets your car run again till it gets sucked up again. The gas does not dissolve the egg. It happened to Toyota truck a buddy was working on at a dealership. It took him more then a day to figure it out.lol

bad is filling the defroster vents on a friends car with the styrofoam pellets from a bean
bag and leaving the controls on high fan and defrost/de-fog.

The pellets fly everywhere and pick up a static charge as they fly. They stick to EVERYTHING.

Good fun without doing any real damage. A lot of these aren't what I would call "pranks"
because they actually damage the vehicle in a permanent manner.

TerribleTim-
my fiends dad did that to keep us from sneaking off with the hot rods after we got home from school and he was still at work.
Once we figured it out he started pulling the solenoids out. We overcame that obstacle and next was to be removed was steering wheels. That old man did everything but we still figured it out till one day he left for a week for business. We figured we'd had evertything covered on how to take it out for friday and saturday night, then we opened the barn. there was an engine and tranny sitting in the garage and no Cobra surrounding it. so we spent as much of our saving later that night at the used car delaer for an `85 fox body coupe chassis. We hid the complete mustang at my houise till when his dad got back. Only he drove home in the cobra. well it turns out we did what he wanted for once; left his cobra alone and got our own!

I had some GOOD friends in Florida. They would sneak into the parking lot before lunch time with a length of 14 gage insulated wire. They would stuff one end of it into one of the plug wire ends and feed the other end unseen through the openings into the interior. that end would be wrapped around the spring in the seat under the driver.

Usually in Florida we would be at least damp with sweat before lunch time so electrical conductivity would happen. Some times it wouldn't happen for five or ten minutes or so.....then ZAP.....ZAP.....ZAP.

The charge would make your hair stand on end for hours! One day they set up a friend of mine in his pickup and I didn't know it either. He had been a victim of the zapper before, so when he started to feel the charge he grabbed my arm and revved the crap out of his truck. He was thinking that by grabbing my arm I would be the ground and it would relieve him.....wrong. We were both screaming as he continued to rev it even while heading down the road!

I can still remember exactly how that felt. We found that there was quite a crowd watching us leave, man it was funny as hell!

Just came back to me, same group of guys tied a 12' inflatable swimming pool behind my '67 ElCamino, with 40 feet of good strong rope. This was after a 14 hour work day, so I was tired and didn't notice it, or the three cars full of people that were following me home.

I had to go about twenty miles. They said as I went through the drive through at a KFC they had to explain to a cop what they were doing so that I didn't get pulled over. He must have thought it was funny too as he let the joke continue. Oblivious, I drove all of the way home.

I found out the next morning as I heard a car stop near my house. It was one of my friends trying to set it up so that I would drag it back to work!


Man, I miss those guys!

Back when cars and bikes had points one could put a little piece of cellophane or cigarette wrapper plastic between the point contacts. Even if they checked for the rotor they'd still usually miss the almost invisible piece of cellophane.

By the way, this was also a good way to theft-proof an old Harley. Don't tell nobody. ;)

Some of my daughters high school friends came over one night and packed the exhaust on the state truck full of snow. It would start up but die out, start then die out.

Another time I did the fish trick to myself. the state truck started smelling real bad, so I figured it was time to clean it out. I finally got to the neatly folded up rain jacket kept under the seat and unfollded it and stuck my hand into the pocket, and stuck a smelt bone into the tip of my finger. I had used the rain jacket to go smelt dipping and was putting the smelt in the pocket, I guess I forgot a few.
