Every car freak has some to make; what's yours? ;)

I was once stuck in the trunk of my father's car when I was very young and playing with his toolbox :shock:

this is my favorite one:


From: Patrick Okey

The setting was the middle of summer in the mid-60's in my best friend's garage.

As with all 13-year-olds with nothing to do, we spent the summer fidgeting with our "toys." The toy de jour of this escapade was my Del Taco mini-bike.

As is typical, the "summer job" of the smaller kids in our neighborhood was to bug the heck out of the older kids. They were hanging around our shop and being a total annoyance.

This particular day, the urchins were at their all-time worst: 4,000 Questions per minute and hands clambering on every single tool in sight! Something had to be done to clear the shop of this infestation.

Here comes the BRILLIANCE: Having reached the breaking point, I told the little varmints that we were about to perform a most critical adjustment on the engine and its success was based on their physical assistance. With the groundwork meticulously laid, I found the largest set of vice grips in the shop and clamped it on the exposed top of one of the spark plugs.

Once they all had both hands tightly clenched on the vice grips, I gave a little wink of approval (to myself) and gave the pull-start a full and rapid yank.

Ka-Vroom! Urchins flew in every direction, not to be seen or heard from again all summer long.

It was truly one of the highlights of my early mechanical career: the day the urchins hit the road.



I love doing this kind of stuff to unsuspecting annoyances :D
