Time to post up a few nasty tricks. If you're a victim, they'll help you diagnose. If you want to do some of them, seek advice from other FJC owners.

(1) I have wedged a bass onto an exhaust manifold before... not an FJ, I couldn't do THAT. The victim vehicle was a chevrolet.

(2) Replaced wife's relatives' "Jesus Fish" plastic decals on their cars with "Darwin Fish" when there were at my house for Christmas dinner. Some of them caught heat from other members of the immaculate flock in the church parking lot (or so it was later reported). Their lack of faith as evidenced by the "change of fish" was noted by righteous busy-bodies.

I'll add more once some of you post up your experiences.

We took the hubcaps off my old neighbors civic and replaced them with paper plates spray painted silver. He drove around like that for a week until we left the hubcaps on his doorstep.

In High School we would turn all the VW's and baja bugs sideways in parking stalls.

... put a rainbow sticker on the back of our roommates car ...

That trick has been played a few times in the past at my office. Always a riot.

I put an I <heart> being gay license plate frame on a guy's car that I worked with and who nobody liked. It was on there for months. ;D

Some years ago I slim-jimmed a co-worker's car and filled it with shredded paper.

A couple of us picked up a co-worker's volkswagen and re-located it in the parking lot at least once a week. He thought that he was loosing his mind. They're light enough that you can do that. (THERELAXER - That was His Honor, Judge Pat Donahue's VW - moved around the basement of the courthouse parking area - parked in other people's spaces ;D ;D ;D)

Not automotive, but a boss I had brought one of those redwood tree trunk tables with the glass top. I used a capillary drill in the bottom, captured the sawdust and left some little cones of sawdust under the table. He brought me in and asked my opinion. I said, "Termite". Everyone else was also in on it and they offered the same opinion. He had the table tented and fumigated. The termite always returned though -- whenever he was an @ss.

1. We used to pick up mini trucks and turn them sideways in home driveways

2. Wire pull lubricant or sap/tar from the job site lumber pile under the door pull handle to get in your car

3. Trout in the shifter boot above the transmission (found weeks later after maggots crawled into car)

4. Carried and relocated a freinds Honda CVCC several blocks away every weekend when he'd passout from drinking

5. Deflated all four tires from a friends car when he passed out in his car in front of his house then woke him up and got him to drive off

6. Rearranged spark plug wires or removed the distributor rotor

I'll think of more, It's been over 20 years...

Left a lady's panties stuffed under the seat of my buddy's car along with an opened condom wrapper - no condom - knowing that his wife cleaned and washed his car.

She wasn't amused.

Neither was he.

I had to drive over and defuse the situation... bad move on my part but I was young and wicked at the time. :-\


NOTE: She was my ex-girlfriend. I left on military service and he married her. So there IS a back-story.

The best pranks are those with a story behind them.

When i was kid (what the hell.. i last did it probably a year ago), we used to take Duct tape, stretch it across the road, and let a car drive over it.


It sounds like you put a baseball card in your bike spokes, but on a full size car. People would stop and freak out because it got so loud. Only got chased once..

Back in Jr High, my friends and I were "inspired" by the movie, The Good Son. In this movie, Macaulay Culkin played a troubled, psychopathic kid. His character, created a "Highwayman," a life-sized dummy, and flung him over a highway overpass onto oncoming traffic. This dummy caused vehicles to swerve out of control, causing a massive accident.

We created a life-sized dummy, propped him up in the middle of a somewhat heavily trafficked residential street, and let the fun begin. Mind you, cars were only going ~30mph on this street instead of the ~60mph in the movie, so the results weren't as spectacular. We had to innovate and increase the level of fun and mayhem to this set. Vehicles that slowed down to avoid the dummy, but kept driving, were rewarded with a barrage of water balloons. Those that had the deceny to stop, get out of the vehicle to investigate, were likewise rewarded with a barrage of water balloons.

It was our turf, and we knew the escape routes through houses/yards quite well. Good times indeed.
