There are PVC rollbars, bilge-pump "turbos", hydrogen generators, moth-ball fuel additives, Tornado "swirlers", etc, for a reason:  Folk buy them.

At least for these guys, they are honest, even if somewhat misguided.

I thought most folk grow out of putting baseball cards in their wheel spokes at about age 10...

Yes. I actually bought one of those exact things on ebay but it only cost me $9.99.

I put it in the exhaust of a coworkers car and it drove him nuts trying to find the high pitched shrill coming from his new car. Best $9.99 I ever spent.  :evil:

It sounds like a screaming dog whistle! I cant imagine anyone buying and using those for other than a prank.

It already has. He bought an annoy-a-tron and stuck it behind/under my desk. even when I figured out what it was and who did it I still could not find it. I had to acknowledge his greatness before he would remove it.

It beeps randomly with a super high pitched noise. I thought I was going to lose my mind. Truly an evil device.

I am known to some to play a prank or two. Not to boast but some would even argue that my antics at times have been legendary.

On the "make your buddies car sound like its coming apart theme" try putting a brazing rod around one of the U joints in the drive line with just enough tail to make contact with the bottom of the vehicle.

Oh the fun!

for the drive shaft trick, just use a stout ty-wrap, the untrimmed end smacking the floorpan is hilarious.

Stick on wheel weights on the drive shaft will get their attention as well.

Another thing I always had fun with was to catch a cricket in a jar. Put a few holes in the lid so it wont die and put it under your buddies bed. You can hide it real good, better if there is a bunch of stuff under there already.

About 1:00 AM he will wake to a sweet symphony........
at      1:10 he will have had enough
at      1:15 the lights will be on
at      1:20 he will find the jar and know hes been had
at      1:25 cricket goes outside
at      1:30 hes back in bed
at      1:45 still awake mad that he was had and there is nothing he can do about it, because he isnt positive who it was that dropped a cricket bomb on him.

the next day......priceless!

My favorite is going to the fishing store and getting some maggots ( they sell them in Australia for bait) putting them in the back of a car on a friday, and by monday you have a car full of flies.
Not something I would do of course.
How did this thread end up going down this road anyhow
