What's your favorite automotive prank?

I got mine in the mail the other day...

 

I had a couple of friends that got a hold of 12 boxes of ping pong balls. About 3,000 or so in each box. Dumped the entire thing into a buddy's open sunroof.

Personally, I absolutely hate the grease under the handle thing. Too many times have I had this happen at work. It's usually just on accident though. Guy before me was working on the truck and got dirty, then drove it. Grease all over the handles and steering wheel. Just a pet peeve of mine.

I had some friends tell me about how they left one girl standing in the middle of an intersection. They were on their way home from the bar, and she was DD that night. They all wanted to play Chinese Stop Light (when at a red light, everyone gets out of the car and runs around then gets back in a different door) well she played along, and someone locked her out of the car! They drove away laughing.

This is always a good one too

i have had my truck completely filled with packing peanuts from the back window. i left it open because it was 104 degrees that day. in order to retaliate i took them all and parked in the middle of her lawn and opened my doors. he dad did not find it as funny as me.

i have taken the rear axle and jacked it up and put a pine stump under the axle.

the classic condom on the tail pipe is funny

 

stick post-it notes everywhere on the outside, put a condom over somebodys gear shift, or draw dicks on the windows with window paint.

 

Had this shitty college job working Swing-shift in shipping, we found four cinder blocks and when the dick-head boss was in his office we snuck out and put a cinder block under his axels, just behind the wheel. His truck was just the right size that each tire was only about a 1/2 off the ground.

Not sure if this has been mentioned but big zip ties around the driveshaft

 

This is the Original Post....

 

I like to buy cheap chevy bowtie tags and put them on my friends fords and dodges. Or find a Jeff Gordon tag and put on anybodys car

 

some of my friends like to think a truck bed is a trash can...so on one occasion my buddy at work left 2 bags of fast food in my truck bed. i took the bags and piece by piece stuffed all of it back through the crack in his sun roof. another occasion i took a whole bunch of cups and bags and shoved them in another friend's spoiler on his eclipse really good so they didnt blow away and he didnt realize it and drove off. it looked quite funny

 

I like zip ties on drive shafts. They are terribly annoying and it takes forever for people to figure it out. Sounds like your shit is falling apart but doesnt actually cause any damage!

 

My wife's uncles are mechanics. Before we were dating, I asked to ask her uncles if it would be safe to put a flux capacitor on my old f150.

 

apperently thats the most popular one and i have to try it on many of my friends

 

Horn to the turn signal is awesome. Guna have to try that.

 

This only works on guys that are good at diagnostics.....

Break off one blade of the efi fuse. Car will not start. When they check the fuse with a test light it will show "good". They will go nuts trying to find out why it wont start. Funnier if all they did was an oil change or something simple.

 

Lol that is awesome.

As for pranks I have pulled off when a buddy of mine got married the best man slipped me $20 and said go get stuff for our friend the Groom's bike. So I take off to walmart and get a basket, condoms, beads, astroglide, and pink handle bar streamers and fix his 100th Annv. Night train all up. I wish I had pics of it. Every thing I did could be removed didn't touch paint or hurt the bike in any way.

We put gay pride stickers on the back of a friends car. He drove around with them on there for a month.

Done the Zip ties on the drive shaft.

A friend of mine moved to "the bad part of town" and for some reason always left his crew cab unlocked so we jacked up his truck put it on cinder blocks and put the wheels in the cab of his truck and locked the doors. He called us pissed of and then said well thanks I needed to rotate my tires anyways.

 

i did this to a kid once and he flipped shit, didnt know what was going on,then i felt bad and fixed it for him.

 

Brake fluid to the paint anybody?

JK... you only do that to Dbags who deserve it.

 

best one I ever heard was if its freezing outside go out to the car every few hours and spray it with water and in the morning the car will have about 2 inches of ice on it

 

we used to use 99 cent store bike locks to lock my friend's car cover on his car.

 

My next door neighbor's truck this morning was very 'glossy' when I looked at it. Someone got him good, there is about 4 tubs of vasoline next to his truck and his truck is covered in it.. bet that's fun to wash off.
