There would be no slosh, it would be filled tight.

That is the advantage of using Hg. Very high density. It's poisonous only if the containing vessel vents, that is easy to deal with. If the car is crashed, that sucks but then again so do plane crashes.

Sand? Averaging 1442 kg per cubic meter is not efficient enough. I suppose bird shot in the gas tank will work. Pb at 11,389 kg/M³ is nice but those little itty bitty balls get into everything. Leaded gas? bwahahaha! 😛

Gold bars would work but then whoever this was done to would be in heaven. :Q

In America why not use pounds per cubic Yard?>
A cubic yard of rock salt weighs about 2200 lbs
a cubic yard of damp sand weighs about 3000 lbs.

LOL Fill the trunk with high density concrete,about 3,300 lbs per cubic yard!

Those horrible oxidants. I have an incredible problem with them and my tires.
The problem is, I have 30 tires in a pile and they won't oxidize. I'd like to see them break down, but unfortunately, one of these weeks, I'm going to have to drive to the dump with them and pay a few bucks per tire to dispose of them. Some of them have been at the farm for decades. For those who believe that oxidation on the inside of tires is a severe problem, may I suggest a bigger cause for you to believe in - nuclear power reactors are dumping massive quantities of dihydrogen monoxide into the environment every day!

It's not the dihydrogen monoxide that you have to worry about it, it's the H20 that's deadly for 10,000 years that leaches through the seemingly hermetic nature of the containment buildings. Of course they forgot about the relief house. Oops. I grew up in Steelton, PA btw.

There was golf ball flying that missed the trap, I picked it up and instead of Topflite, it had the word Sarcasm written on it. I wonder who in the devil could've done that here! 😉
