I knew a guy once that got sick of people tailgating him in his pickup truck and rigged something up that he could hit a switch in the cab and this spring loaded thingy would throw rocks out of the back of his truck. If someone was really close behind him the rocks would land on their hood. We were teenagers at the time and it seemed pretty funny. Now it seems kind of stupid
I use to have a 1975 K5 Jimmy Roadster (same thing as a Blazer). It was a beast. The top of the roll cage was 7ft. Had 35's on it. It could and I have driven over cars with it. Drove that thing though 4ft of water before using a stick on the accelerator so my feet wouldn't get wet. I painted it desert tan and NEVER washed it except when it was needed for a photo shot (it was a project truck for a web site). It got a bath when it rained and you sure didn't want to follow me or your car would become red as the GA red clay washed out from under it.
I honest to god I bought the thing for a "Dollar".
I am on the hwy and this woman in a Camry is tailgating me at 65mph (about top speed on a hill) so close I can only see her driver side mirror in my mirrors. I slow down to 50mph trying to get her to pass me (I sure wasn't going to brake check her as she would go under and possibly flip the truck). Speed up and she still up my tail pipe. My back bumper was apparenty what she fixated on as cruise control. That or she was drafting me to save gas. Either way I was sick of it. This went on for 10 miles or more.
I finally had an epiphany of how to fix her........I started stomping as hard as I could on the floor to knock some GA red clay off the bottom of the truck. Huge chunk finaly cuts loose hits the road explodes back wheel picks some of it ups scatters it even more. Sounded like a hail storm on a tin roof and as it all cut loose under the truck and was bouncing off the road. Huge red cloud blows out the back of the truck in a Rooster tail of dust pelting her with all that crap that came loose. She locks it up about ran off the road. I was laughing so hard I couldn't see and about ran off the road as well.

She comes by me a few seconds with this dirty look on her face and I was still laughing

Grim, that is hilarious. Im from GA too, Athens actually, but have been in California for the last two years. GA clay can do some serious messing up to a car, especially if its wet out, much like paint.

Too bad I'd feel bad about fighting fire with fire.
HAH.
I'd start carrying a watergun loaded with ammonia + water. Just for a little eye burn effect.
ok... should go there, because now we'll get all kinds of bad ideas.
Totally kidding. I'm just suprised people are throwing money around actually. In this economy and all? I don't know about them, but I don't have money to waste on throwing at anyone!
