In honor of today's date (April 1) I wanted to know what amusing car pranks you've pulled (or had pulled on you)?For me, the closest I've ever been to pulling a car prank had to be a few years back when my youngest brother was getting married.Like a fool (he was the one getting hitched after all!) he asked me to pull his car around to the front of the church so that it would be all ready when he and the 'ol lady came out the front door.Well, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to get even with him for all the years of pestering that he made me endure.With the help of a turkey baster, I filled the heating and air vents of his Grand Am with baby powder. After parking the car out front of the church, I turned off the ignition and then turned the fan on high.When the happy couple came dashing out the front of the chuch everyone showered them with rice and I stood back and smugly considered what they would be covered with in a matter of seconds.My brother carefully loaded his beaming bride and her massive dress into the car, ran around and hopped in and prepared to take a victory lap around town before heading to the wedding reception.The second that he turned the key, the car was filled with a cloud of white powder.To this day, my sister-in-law still holds a grudge against me for this little prank...How was I to know that they still had more wedding photos to take!

Well, I guess you could call this a car prank. My brother and I were hanging out and cruising the local Mc donald's parking lot[ thats where the main action was before they started throwing us teenagers out] I had been getting on my dear old brothers case about his smoking habit. He said " o.k., after this pack i'll quit". So as he was walking away I took his "last" pack of smokes and placed them under the rear wheel so upon backing out they were crushed! Well, he wanted to know where they went and when I told him, he wasn't really amused. No sense of humor! I tried to justify it to him by telling him he was quitting anyway, but it did nothing for him. Needless to say, it's been over twenty years and he still smokes!

Is that where they got the term "Smoking" your tires?

No, but as I recall there may have been smoke coming out his ears!

I swapped a vacuum hose for a coil wire on one of my friend's cars, lifted the right rear wheeel of his girlfriend's car, and tied a two foot long rope on the driveshaft of his old beater. The next morning after he drove her and himself to work in the only one of the cars that would run - the beater - I put the coil wire back on and took the wooden block out from under the rear axle. Late that afternoon he asked "for a bottle of scotch, could you check my girlfriend's trany, help me start the good car, and check out the tires because something was making a lot of noise." I said, "Yup it looks like you caught something under your car --I can cut it off-- leave the keys to the other cars I will see if I can get them going before you get back."That was an easy bottle of scotch. (The old beater was a 1957 Plymouth)

My neighbor got a new Camry a few years ago, just like the one he had before, same color and all. MPG happy, was Bill's MO. I think every conversation we ever had, always contained the phrase, "How many MPG does your Mazda get? Truck, Vette, Sprite, whatever he saw, he would ask. Then he would always tell me what great mileage his Camry got. This new one sat there one day after he just bought it and I put a gallon of gas in his tank. It always sat in the garage, door open all day long and I knew when he took a nap. Old Bill was so happy his new car got better mileage than his old one. I told him sometimes these things are not always what it says on the sticker. He banked in a nearby town 15 miles down the road and gas was always 5 cents cheaper than our town. Every week I put at least a gallon in. Once a gallon was too much, but I caught it just in time. He tells me after a month about this thing and how happy he is and "How much does your Mazda get?" I waited for 2 weeks and put a gallon in, remember when gas just first reached a Dollar a gallon? He had about 2000 miles on it and was getting awesome mileage. Then I quit. They went on a trip a couple of States away and it got nowhere near the mileage it got around town! The first oil change at the dealer was time for some serious discussion about MPG with the service advisor. New fuel filter too. Mileage suffered and now gas is $1.10 and he is crying that this car is not getting what his old car got? He speculated it was the special break-in oil. I always would ask him first what MPG you gettin on the Camry?
