Re: Auto related practical jokes

DragWeek 07. Most of our group had left Wisc heading towards Iowa when one of the guys behind us( Biginch here at carjunkie)called and said Larry Larson hadnt paid for his gas.Larry said the pump accepted his credit card and he didnt get a receipt as most of the time you cant read them.Biginch said the lady was all pissed and calling the cops.Biginch went ahead and took care of the bill.Forward to our next gas stop.Mike Crow and I are walking out to our cars and Larry is still inside when I spot an Iowa State Trooper.Mike and I just look in disbeleif in our good luck. ;DWe proceed to tell the troper about the so called gas drive off in Wisc.Mr Troopper starts questioning Larry about it while the rest of us are hiding and laughing our asses off!Larry finally looks over at Ev Bernado who is fueling up his Mustang and has no where to hide.The look on Larrys face when he figured it out was priceless.

Re: Auto related practical jokes

We found a full roll a way snap-on tool box at a metal recyling place once sitting in the scrap pile right up front. It was sort of laying on an angle on the pile on its back.

It looked ok from the outside but when we tried to open the draweres, it would not budge. It also must have weighed close to a ton. The guy running the place came over laughing and had one of the guys pull it upright where we could see where the rear of it had been cut off. The entire thing was full of rock hard, grey metalic stuff that was tough as nails.

The storey was that the previous owner brought it in for scrap value, and that he had been the one to cut the back off. Apparently he worked in the shop at a chemical plant that made specialty adhesives and had managed to piss someone off, so they drilled a hole in the top and pumped his entire box full with some sort of metallic epoxy!

Probably $40K in tools and tool box were now one large solid lump.

I think the owner kept it right there in the front for years just to watch people try and open it and laugh.

Re: Auto related practical jokes

When I started with the bus company the garage I was at didn't have much parking. One day a new guy parks his older Caddy and blocks in two of the mechanics. They wait for him to come out and give him grief about parking infront of people. He tells them to F off, jumps in his car and takes off. Unfortunately for him they had also chained the passenger door handles to the fence next to his car so in his haste to leave he destroyed both door skins.

Another shop I worked with had a guy was obsessive about keeping his tools clean. Every job had an hour of clean up as tools were polished and put away, screwdrivers lined up properly ect. One day I was dropping off a car and he was going crazy. To help clean up some of his co-workers froze cans of shaving cream, punched holes in them, and dropped them in his box. He came out of the bathroom and the box was foaming like a rabid dog out of the bottom drawers.

Man, these are good! ;D When I was in high school, my football coach and the science teacher (the school only had 300 students) got into an argument. To get here back, he had some of us football players pick up her Volkswagen Fox and put it in the ditch.,,where he proceeded to pull his truck beside it. With the way the parking lot was configured, there was no way in hell she was going to get the car out without him moving his truck. We're about an hour into practice when we see her storming down the field in our direction. boy was she pissed! ;D After she shouted and raised hell for a little bit, we trotted back to the parking lot and moved her car back out of the ditch. She never did forgive us for that!

Re: Auto related practical jokes

A buddy did the old car on blocks to me at school in the fall of our senior year.I didnt say a word about it to anyone.It was eating him up.Come spring I paid him back.One morning I took the driveshaft out of his 69Shelby 350 Mustang.Then I asked him to drive that day to lunch.Needless to say his car didnt go anywhere.We took my truck which had his driveshaft in the back. ;D Once we returned to schol I skipped the next class to put his driveshaft back in.After school I told him to try it one more time and if it didnt move Id tow him with my truck.He started it up.revved it up and dropped it into reverse.He like to have shot half way across the parking lot. ;D I told him it must have been some dirt in the valve body. : I finally told him the truth at our 20 year reunion.
