What's your favorite automotive prank?

not exactly something that everyone could do, but several years back, I was putting a radio in my manager's truck that he had just bought, and while I had the dash off, I draped a piece of grille cloth over the center A/C vents and filled it with the punchings from a 3-hole punch (that the guy working with me and myself had spent punching paper for an hour each), turned the A/C blower all the way down, and parked his truck out in a stall that had complete sun all day long.

When our manager went to leave, my worker buddy and I just stood by the install bay door with the vacuum hose in hand, and watched him walk out to his car.

He started the truck up, cranked the blower and it was insta-snowstorm inside...

He put on his best "haha you got me" face on, pulled forward and let up vacuum up the mess.

We also had a standing rule amongst the mobile electronics group (sales and install) - if you get pranked, you buy the prankers lunch the next day. My co-worker and I sat down to a very nice pizza the next day thanks to the manager

 

When I was in college, my then GF was not all to happy about me. She was staying at slumber party with other chicks, while I was drinking with some friends on Friday night. Well after the alcohol was flowing, one thing let to another and we used three rolls of saran wrap on her car...


Everything would've been great, except that after we left, there was only one way out of that street...


Sarah got in the middle of the street, my friend stopped and her blue eyes were spitting fire and lava at me...

 

Wait, ha ha ha ha, I got a good one for you guys. Have you ever put zip ties on the drive shaft?! HA HA HA HA HA! That one is great.

 

Ah, we got a comedian on our hands...

 

After seeing it, what was it 4-5 times, I had to do it.

 

I had Auto shop in high school and we had this really great teacher that everyone respected well he got laid off because of this other teacher needed to relocate to a different school. He was a real weezley guy and of course no one respected him. He was an absolute cluts in the shop and never taught us anything we didn't already know. He drove a very old Ford Festiva which became the focus of our pranking attention. We Put White lithium grease under his door handles. One time he had us do the breaks on his care so a friend of mine smeard grease on the rotors right before we put the tires back on the car. In our parking lot the parking spots would face each other and they had the cement parking stops that were just far enough away that we would go out there and and pick his car up and center it over 2 of those cement parking stops so it would be hard to get enough momentum to drive over them. (most of us were either on the foot ball team or on the wrestling team) and Finally We followed him home one day to find out where he lived and then came back in the middle of the night and took the tires off of his car and set the car down on top of his tires. Everytime would do that we would wind up with a subsitute teacher the next day. Those were the good ole days.

 

Was this in Tampa, which HS? LOL GATORS FTW!

 

I don't fuck with peoples cars myself. But I remember in HS his kid had a 5 spd Wrangler and he would keep the top down on warn days and one day a bunch of people went out put it in neutral and pushed it off the parking lot off into a grassy area and he got in trouble for parking there( until he explained of course).

 

Back in the day, we disonnected the coil packs from the spark plugs in my buddy's Jeep. It was late night and we didn't want him driving for certain reasons, and of course this prevented it from starting up.

 

Saran wrap. Dicks on windows. Condom on the antenna. Stink bomb under seat. E brake on stop sign.

 

If your ever helping someone work on their vehicle with the hood up. Wait till they leave to grab a beer or something and pull the fuse for the fuel pump. LOLs to be had when they are freaking out because their car wont start.

 

I guess a parking ticket prank would fit in here Me and a director decided to do something for april fools...make a fake parking ticket..he had the copy paper they use..i found a blank parking ticket thanks to google..and he did all the writing..it looks extremely legit! So..we put it on my friends car..along with a wheel boot. Haha! My friend came back and was like...WHAT!? CAMPUS POLICE CANT GIVE ME A TICKET HERE!(He was parking in our organizations parking lot..not on the street where campus police do. Lol...so he continued fuming outside..and finally someone got the idea of yelling..APRIL FOOLS! out the door..half of the bloody building was watching as he came back..he was more mad at himself for getting so pissed off than us actually doing it..lol He learned a lesson

 

Take some cotton balls and dip them in water and place them on the car when it is below freezing out. They freeze nicely on any car surface.

 

Never done this, but could be hilarious and get you in a lot of trouble

They're balloons you tie to your truck and when you drive it looks like you're getting chased by missiles.

 

We will say it was in the hilsborough County Area and leave it at that.

 

Take a seat belt pretensioner and wire it to their 7-pin connector so that it pops when they hit the brakes or a turn signal. I like to mount them on the frame under the driver's seat.

If it's someone you REALLY hate, they REALLY have it coming and it's a REALLY nice vehicle- Put a little tab of anti-seize under each door handle. It will get everywhere.

I have a lot more but not enough time...

 

LOL..thats funny..

 

Co-worker had his truck at the dealer for some work. I knew peeps at the dealer. It was April 1st. I called my peeps to make a request. So not long after that, guy calls from the dealer and tells co-worker that his truck fell off the lift. They said not to worry about it - they'd fix it up - just as soon as he gave them his insurance info. Oh man that was nice! He was hot, but before it got really ugly, we just busted out laughing. He looked over and instantly knew he'd been pranked then!

 

A friend's parents are hilarious...sometimes when hes out running errands or back in high school parked in the student parking, they'd take the other key and move the car to another parking space...hilarity soon ensued.

I love parents with a sense of humor.
