Fun car pranks?

Anyone got any ideas for a fun car prank? Nothing permanent and nothing that would damage my friends car in a malicious manner, im mulling two big ideas right now but im curious if you guys have any good ones... I've already done the requisite post-it prank and i am thinking about bigger things now.

I'll post pics if anyone cares to see

Squirt acrylic paint on the hood, doors, roof, etc. This happened to my sisters car a few months ago and we weren't very amused by it. But it didn't hurt the car at all because the paint is water based and comes right off with some water and soap. Your friend will probably freak out thinking their car is ruined when they see it. It's a little extreme, but its safe and funny.

I used to work with a guy who would shrink wrap other co-worker's cars on their birthday. Man I wish I had pictures. He'd go all out on some of them, balloons, funny messages on the windows, and one time a huge bow.

Tape a balloon to the back of a wheel, one which the person will most likely not see. Back of the wheel if the first thing the person does is reverse.

It could take some time but have a key made to open his door, or as you get out some night make sure to leave his window down ever so slightly

Some of the best i have done was filled the car with Styrofoam pellets (about the size of BB's) to the top, Hooked his brake light to his horn so every time he stepped on the brake his horn would go off, hooked his horn to his radiator fan so it would go off randomly, take a wedge of wood to pull door panel away from window and pour BB's into the door so that every time he accelerates or brakes he hears them sloshing around in door

Just swipe his key and move it around the parking lot and back it in (if he usually pulls in) to different spots for a couple weeks. It will drive him nuts.

@ the plate and plate frames... too good

Saran wrap AND post it notes

sorry, don't have any ideas to top those. Friend of mine likes his chicks young.... we're talking a little too young sometimes. We considered putting pedobear stickers in his passenger windows, there was a big stink on the news about it saying its the mascot for internet predators

Dump a bunch of paper hole punch pieces into all of the A/C vents.

Wait for said person to turn on the A/C

No. All can be done from outside and under the car. The radiator fan to horn is very easy. Both are really close to each other and a simple "T" tap line connector and wire work really well here.

4 doors make it all that much better.

Also if said car has moonroof you can usually get it pried apart far enough to dump bbs in there too. They will be above the headliner rolling around driving him/her crazy

I like the brake light wired to the horn. That's awesome; as he approaches a stop behind another car .... beep .... beeeep ...... beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

And fairly easy to reverse without tearing the car apart.


Adding the horn tied to the radiator for a random "beep factor" is even better.

Wow, good stuff in here!

Vaseline on the wiper blades is a good one.

Also, if you have any pepper spray, spray a good bit at the base of the windshield. That's generally where the A/C intake is.

Put a zip tie on his axle or driveshaft. The zip tie will slap against the bottom of the car and make a ticking sound that increases with speed. It'll drive him crazy trying to figure out where the sound is coming from and it's easy to remove.

That sounds kind of dangerous considering pepper spray blinds you lol, or would you just get the smell only?

When I was a cop, we used to do that to each other in the summer. It's uncomfortable, but not much worse...

Seriously these would take forever to get out. Pranks are funny but don't screw with my car. I would punch someone for doing one of these.

If its fwd the radiator fan is even easier to get to and even more random. Brake lights are harder to do because most of the time the wiring is inside the vehicle. (but it can be done if planned ahead)

The Styrofoam pellets in the car was probably one of the best. They are like static cling objects. He owned the car for about a year after i did it to his car and to the day he sold the car you couldnt get out of it without a few of them coming out from somewhere and sticking to your cloths. He hated to use his vents because no matter how hard he tried they would come blowing out.

If you have some time inside his car you can take a old used car horn shove a rag in it and hook it up to his radiator fan, brakes, window switch and hide the horn up under his seat or behind a body panel. Every time what ever you use to trigger it goes off there will be an annoying hum that will take him forever to figure out.

I got about 10 "AA" batteries shoved up in the headliner of my car. That was annoying. My car was "Buttered" yes butter (about 6 big tubs of it). It took me about 3 hours to wash the butter off, about 4 containers of dawn and ruined every sponge i had but it was funny.

There are plenty of things you can do, just need to figure out how far you want to take it.

i am liking this butter idea too :| The wiring seems like something i would need alot of knowledge about the car to do beforehand. I cant just roll under and wing it. I go to a tech school but i am a biology student so thats out the window

Wiring isnt hard. 2 "T" tap line connectors a couple feet of wire and away you go. If you surf the internet a little most could tell you what wire to tap. It takes all of 2 min to crimp a T tap on both wires.
