Default Reverse Highbeam...

First of all I would like to say I know this is a dumb Idea, don't flame me, this is just one of my brain fart moments.

But yeah, wouldn't it be funny, if some duechebag was tailgating you on the freeway at night, when there are other lanes available, and he high beams you. And I'm talking in extreme cases, where these bastards decide not to leave you alone. What do you do? what do you do? You surprise the living hell out of him with a high beam of your own! A switch that automatically lifts the hatch revealing a giant spotlight! mwuahahahahaha *snickers* it's evil. Or like a giant strobe light! Then you release the oil lever, a reserve tube positioned behind the rear wheels, releasing a perfect trail of oil, once he sees the light he'll be shock, step on the brakes, but oh no! tires sliding! why? what's going on? then pop pop!!confused, He also ran over the trail of spikes that cames out after the trail oil. And with that it's over.

JUSTICE!!

now that's entertainment... right out of a James Bond movie... but I feel ya bro, in my case I find that my little birdie is just as effective in these type of situations.

I'd say just flip them the bird...

If that doesn't work, I'd let them go and follow them from a distance... then when they get to their destination... I'd park away from a distance and sneak up to their car... then I'd shove a couple of toothpicks into their doorlocks and break off the ends.

Now this used to be more effective before the days of keyless entry, but the driver would find that he couldn't unlock his doors or get into his car. It was enough to ____ them off, but not as bad as keying their paint.

The toothpicks are more of a practical joke, but keying a car is just plain wrong.

Speaking of brakes! lol, alot of things crossed my mind, and so I am revealing more than I am suppose to lol. I was thinking of rigging a switch for the break lights. So when someone is tailgating you, at moderate speed, you flip the switch! but you don't brake! The Lights come on. Because human instincts is that when brake lights come on in front, you brake too. So your actually accelerating, while he's braking, keep doing it a few times and than brake for real, flip him out an than take off. Then reverse high beam, oil, rocket launchers, machine guns and justice served!

I was thinking about getting a windshield washer nozzle installed on my spoiler, so I can spray people behind me. I probably won't do it, so my train horn should do, lol.

Now that is a train horn, Nathan K5. I don't even think it would fit in the cargo area of a tC. I had toyed with the idea of placing a K5 on my Dodge Ram, but it would have to be mounted in the bed of the truck as there is not enough room underneath near the frame rails.

You can always pull the E-Brake. Slows the car down a lot and shows no sign of it.

Horn, high beams in the rear, nails, etc. Wouldn't that just anger the tailgater more? There's a simple solution.... move.

before i bought my tc, i had a isuzu rodeo, and was involved on a few forums and carclubs, and its getting to be the norm to run "trail lights" around your car, especially in the back. one of the guys i met when we went on a trail run did this from time to time to cars that were tailgating, and it worked with amazing accuracy, just not the safest thing to do.
