My anti-tailgater attachment

[HaroldSullivanII]

After years of work, I have developed a device that actually stops
tailgaters. Using the pump from a power washer, I rigged the pump to
my engine and connected the hose and nozzle to the rear bumper of my
car. In my trunk I have a ten gallon tank recovered from a well water
system.

I simply fill the tank with readily available drain oil from doing oil
changes, and keep the tank filled. When a tailgater starts riding my
ass, I simply flip a switch on my dash, and a strong spray of dirty
drain oil covers the car's windshield that is tailgating me, as well
as coating the highway with an oil slick. The driver is totally
blinded and goes into a spin on the oily slick on the road. So far,
every tailgater has gone off the road and totally wrecked their car.
Not one driver has been able to maintain control of their vehicle once
I turn on the spray. It's really awesome watching these tailgaters
lose control and crash their vehicles. Better yet, it don't cost me a
cent to refill my oil tank and get prepared for the next tailgater.

One car even burst into flames, and the oil just added to the fire.

If anyone wants the entire set of plans, I'd be happy to send them to
you for a mere $50, shipping included. Just send me email and I'll
arrange payment and get your mailing address to get you on your way to
eliminate tailgators from your life forever.

Hehe, thanks for the chuckle. Darn good idea.

Nice fantasy. Mine involves a row of 6 1000 watt Halide lamps attached
to my rear bumper, pointing at the tailgaters windshield. A switch on
the dash let's me flash them on and off. At least it doesn't kill
unintended targets.

My idea was always a mirror, which should accomplish the same thing,
or at least get the idiot to turn off the hi-beams.

You don't need 10 gallons, just a few drops of oil inside a hot tailpipe
produces a huge white cloud of smoke and noone can tailgate when they
cannot see.

John. I Used something like this back in the 40's. Made my own. 33 chev had
wooden floor boards, so I Drilled a hole through and drilled into exhuast
pipe and inserted a 1/4 " copper pipe. Used a can of kerosene and a manual
valve. Left every one sitting at the intersection for a while. Try that
today and JAIL time. W W

Well, in the 50's, the trick was to drill a hole in the tailpipes near
the end, tap a couple of threads in and screw in a couple of spark
plugs. Wire them to a Model T spark coil and a switch. Wind the
engine up tight in second gear, flip the switch and the plugs would
ignite the unburned fuel leaving the tailpipes resulting in six foot
columns of flame from each pipe. It would scare the crap out of you
at night.

Ahhh the good old days....

John

Hopefully,today's clean autos do not have so much unburned fuel leaving the
tailpipe.

I have a metal box of short roofing nails behind my pickup's bumper that
tips and dumps about 20 lbs of the nails on the roadway. It doesn't always
stop the tailgater immediately, but is about 90% effective within 5 miles.

HAHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAH

Golly, this is such a fun thread, talking about road rage, and what
not!

I hate to tell you all this, but I'm submitting lawsuits against each
and every one of you, for giving advice thatcould cause harm.

If you don't like it, don't blame me.

Talk to Doug and Chris.

They told me I could sue you if you gave bad advice.

 

[Matt]

One other thing -

As it seems there are many in this NG (Chris, Doug) quickly come to
mind - who have NO sense of humor;

I'm not filing lawsuits against ANYONE.

It's USENET, OK?

and try to ruin your life - go on over to alt.hvac.

Attempting to ruin lives and bringing true misery to people seems to be
a speciaty for the folks there.

That's because most of the nails will lay down. Sharpened JACKS would
probably raise your percentage.

ROFL

Talking about ways to kill people on the roadway is such fun!

$225 for that.... That's crazy.....
You can do the same thing for about $5. I did it and it works.
Somewhere back in the late 60's or early 70's, someone told me to
clean the engine on an old car, take a quart of transmission fluid and
slowly dump it down your carburetor while the engine is running. So,
I parked my car on my driveway and started pouring it in. Within a
few seconds the whole neighborhood was completely covered with smoke.
I had neighbors cussing at me, and someone called the fire dept. I
had to do some real explaining when the fire dept came, and brought
along a few cops.

OK, besides the smoke problem, the other thing that happened was my
engine killed and was not easy to start again, forcing me to remove
all the spark plugs and spray carb cleaner on them to get all the oil
off. Of course, when the car did start, all the trans fluid that was
still in the intake manifold started smoking again, so I drove the car
away from the neighborhood quickly.

Determined to still clean my engine, I had to come up with a better
way of doing this. First, I had to get away from residential areas,
second, I had to get the car moving fast so the engine would not kill.

Thus, I took a piece of vacuum hose, connected it to one of the vacuum
ports on the carburetor, and shoved it thru a hole in the firewall,
into the drivers compartment. Then I installed a small plumbing valve
in the hose and ran more hose to a bottle of transmission fluid
sitting on the floor on the passenger side. I wired the hose and
valve to the dash, and took the car out on the freeway. When I got up
to about 60mph, I opened the valve slowly. The smoke began to pour
out of the tailpipe. If I opened the valve too much, I'd feel the
engine begin to run roughly, so I just backed off on the valve a
little. Soon, I knew just how many turns to give that valve to make
lots of smoke and still keep the engine running smoothly, (while
cleaning my engine real well). Of course I did this about 3am when
there was little traffic and the smoke was not very visible. Well,
the smoke was not real visible until a taligater decided that even
though there were 3 lanes, he had to ride my ass in the same lane. I
waited till he got real close to open the valve. Seconds later, he
was buried in a cloud of smoke, and I swear I could hear him cussing.

This sort of became a habit. My engine was never quite clean enough.
if you know what I mean. That was until I got pulled over by the
cops. I quickly tossed a coat over the bottle of ATF, and dropped the
hose on the floor. I explained to the cop that I have a sticking
piston ring and every so often the engine starts burning lots of oil.
The cop bought my story, and told me I should get the engine repaired.
I told him I would, and went on my way. When I got home, I decided it
was time to remove the hose and stuff. Besides, after running at
least 5 quarts of ATF thru my engine, I know my engine was clean.

By the way, I drove that car for another 5 or 6 years, so maybe that
ATF really did clean the engine ....

I've always wanted a button on the dashboard that, when pushed, would
obliterate the vehicle immediately in front of me. This would be far
preferable to using the horn!

I have the bumper sticker "Horn broken... Watch for finger!"

 

[Beeper]

I pull over and let them by. The time I lose pulling over I make up by
speeding up for a while. Never get a ticket because the tailgater already
cleared the speed traps.

 

[..h.....]

I made the mistake in high school of mentioning my idea
of a fire extinguisher in the trunk of a vehicle and having it
aimed at the vehicle behind with a remote firing mechanism.

Of course one of my buddies stole a large fire extinguisher
and had a friend aim it out the back window at a tailgater.
Nearly caused a wreck.

Only "NEARLY" ?
Too bad it didn't cause a wreck. All tailgaters should go out in a
giant ball of fire......
Hmmmmm, that means a fire extinguisher should not be used unless it's
full of gasoline....

 

[BobN]

I don't know which is worse, the idiot blocking the left lane in front of me
or the AH tailgating me...

I find that having a 2x6 or two tied to the roof-rack
with enough slack to let them shift around is generally
enough to make people give me some room.

Truly the best approach. Let the dumb so and sos serve as trooper bait.

A number of years ago, I was going well over 80 in a 55 zone, passing a long
line of slower traffic, when some fool roared right up behind me and started
honking his horn and flashing his lights. Okay, if you want me out of your way
that badly... I found a place to move over, let him pass, and moved back out
into the left lane and resumed speed. Not three minutes later, he hit a speed
trap.

I honked the horn and waved as I went by.
