Get rid of tail gaters...

My pop used to have an Audi that had these uber-bright rear-facing lights....for safety when driving at night on the Autobahn or something, I'd guess. They were just the ticket for getting people off your bumper. 😀

Suddenly slamming on my breaks works just fine and requires no modifications.

What kind of car do you drive? Because I tend to slam on the brakes in mine. 😉

That's what I have insurance for.

And hopefully they (the tailgaters) do. No witnesses, Cha Ching.

'What you didn't see that bird swoop down in front of my bumper? Too bad.'

<-- was going to make a comment about Fieros and being slow but, well, ok, I just did. (That said, I like the Fiero, just it wasn't a fast car and it seems funny to me to have a tailgating thread by YellowFiero.)

Rock on!

I'll have a roof rack on my truck soon. I plan on having a single spotlight that faces rearwards just for this purpose, controlled by a toggle mounted real close to the headlight switch.

Oh, it's a 150W halogen rated at 385,000 candlepower.

Yes, I know it's illegal to turn it on while on the road.

Yes, I don't care. Go'head; flash your brights in my rearview when I pass you b/c you're doing 55 in a 70 zone. Go'head.....punk. 😉
 
Steps to rid yourself of a tailgater (or someone who cut you off). Requires sunroof.

With the offending vechicle behind you, open your sunroof. Leisurely grab a handful of change from the change compartment and raise hand our of sunroof. Release change and the comedy ensues. Quickly make your escape.

Hehe.....I'll confess I've done this once or twice. I've also been know to pelt jaywalking morons who do the "yeah, I'm crossing the road at a snail's pace....whachoo gonna do about it, tough guy?" routine. That whole passive-agressive pedestrian thing (when they're crossing illegally that is) drives me batsh*t.

 
well, i was coming in here to defend the habitual drinking of beer and frying of turkey in the parking lot of football games, but now i see thats unneeded.
