The car prank reminded me of an item you used to be able to purchase called "Auto Fooler". It was basically one of those small screamer fireworks ("Whistling Pete" or whatever they were called in your neck of the woods) that had a smoke bomb built into and two wires for attaching to a car's starter. You'd pop the hood of some sucker's car (in this case, my best friend's step-dad), hook it up, and wait for the fun to begin. It's mind-blowing that they used to sell something like this since it's basically an explosive going off under your car's hood. Man, those were good times.
