The typical tailgater around here ussally are white Crown Victoria's, and they ussally have lights on the top...:confuse: Whats that all about? Those things are so annoying...So I pull over and try to let them by...Then they try to be real **** holes and ussally pull over behind me! So I floor it and through gravel all over thier car! I won't back off untill I cant see them anymore! Sometimes they try to follow but to no avail. I'm glad I have not gotten licence plates on any of my vehicles yet....They could probabley turn me in for destroying thier property or something... Man you have to be Mucho $$RICH$$ to afford the taxes to get plates on a vehicle(s)!!!

I just let em pass me if it's possible. No sense in getting them more pissed and even more of rush. Other times I'll let em know they're not the fastest on the road, but in the end let them go ahead on their merry worry. Let them attract the cops attention.


Now if I could get a smoke screen or oil slick like Spy Hunter .....

I have an older Jeep that does that all the time!!!
I have replaced the seals but apperently the crank is bent because 2 weeks later they are shot and oil is spraying every where again! The rear seal is right over the cossove exhuast pipe...LOL I call it the skeeter chaser...Because there is not any mosiquitos anywhere around while it is running!
I go to the gas station to check the gas and fill up on oil!!! Who knows what kind of gas mileage it gets.. I'm more concerned with the quarts per mile! LOL
You know... nobody tail gates that thing...I wonder why?

I usually carry a few large marbles in the truck....if the person really peeves me off....(does not back off, brights on,)

Then I just open the side window and gently drop the marble or two out ...they bouce nicely off the pavement and up into the grill or windshield.....

They tend to back off then....thinking a rock just hit them....

I think it should be legal to shoot idiots who throw marbles, nails or change at other vehicles. Not only will you miss the vehicle you're aiming at, but it's highly likely you will damage other vehicles on the road.

I wish it were legal to shoot tailgaters.

In my younger days when I had a 79 Ford Pinto, I'd just yank on the ole emergency brake between the seats. When they finally realize you have slowed down, you can watch their eye ***** get really really big in your rear view mirror. Just engage it for a second or so. That's all it used to take.

The marble idea has actually been used by a friend of mine, except he used ball bearings, and of course he was more accurate since was on a bike. (Not sure if hes actually ever used them but I know he carries them) I really really can't stand those who tailgate bikers but then again thats just more tickets we get to write

I once heard an idea from a friend to run the windshield wiper fluid hose back through the truck and mount them over the back tires. Then, fill the fluid box with some Clorox, and when the next jack was tailgating and you come to a stop sign, hit your wipers... wait a sec, power brake, and leave the ***** in a cloud of thick, white, *** smelling, poisonous smoke. Never tried it myself but it sure sounded funny.

You can buy a kit like that. It mounts in your bed or trunk and you plumb it to each tire. It is called "The Smoke Bomb"! Though it is not poisonous, it does save your tread during burn out. I used a windshield washer box, pump, and lines from Wal-Mart in my old 69 F-100 Street/Strip that I use to have about $15.

Though I don't think a burn out gets the point across like say a.. break check or down shift does.
