Aside from a rear step bumper with 3-ball hitch and nailing the breaks and diesel the smoke treatment, I was planning to install a purge line on my water injection system and plumbing in the line so its rear facing.

Maybe Q can set you up with a hubcap spinner/tire slasher, and bucket-o-nails dropper too?

That's only an option with the rusty '63 Chevy PU fleetside. Usually the oil smoke screen is enough though.

I redirected one of my washer nozzles to fire over the car. i clogged one of the jets so it shot farther. the other ject funtioned normally so I "technically" was wetting my windshield. That was back in ym youth though. I can't imagine doing that now. Too many crazy people out there...

i learnt my lesson the hard way after brake checking a night time tailgater, which turned out to be a drunk driver in a 4x4 with a bullbar that made short work of the rear of my van, writing it off...

now i just have really bright reversing lights that, due to my lack of factory reverse lights, are switch activated, so i can turn them on whenever i like

I once had a car to which I had added a set of aftermarket backup lights with a dash switch. They worked really well one night on a tailgater. The driver hit the brakes so hard it looked like his front bumper was trying to dig a hole.

one of my freinds just bought a scrolling LED sign yesterday with a bunch of preset messages that you can flick through via remote as well as customizable ones, he has it in his back window and showed me while driving last night that an illuminated message "i brake for no reason" gets rid of tailgaters quick smart lol
