the plugs have to be gapped correctly for the car in question or the glass will make a normal breaking sound.

Very old thread revived by contentious noob.

okayyyyyy, so they break into your car, release the hood, spend 5 minutes taking out a spark plug, to throw at the next victim's car?

I highly doubt it would be silent. But shattering tempered glass isn't as loud as shattering a regular piece of glass or a bottle.


Well of course. I mean there's no way you could buy a sparkplug at any of thousands of locations nationwide.

lol, pwned

gimme a break. I can't imagine for a second that a car thief or someone stealing radios, etc. is going to go to autozone and pay for spark plugs.
"hey man, I needs to buy me a spark plug."
"What's the make and model of the car?"
"me and my homies are thinkin of gettin some caddies tonight, maybe a couple a camrys to take back to da hood"

You must be the only person in the world who can't find a spark plug... If you have nothing to add to this thread don't post anything. Common

You do realize you are responding to a thread last active 16 years ago, and to members who haven't been here in years, right? :eek:
