I often get this reaction when I can't find the trunk release.

If you find yourself in the middle of a prank war, gazing out the window at your opponent's brand new Lexus, let us be the first to say that messing with somebody's vehicle is serious business.

Even with these almost entirely harmless practical jokes, you'd better be prepared for a reaction. If you are prepared though, the modern automobile can be a playground for the practical jokester, with plenty of ways to confuse, annoy, startle or outright terrify your opponent.

Are there many ways these could go wrong and potentially end up causing damage to the vehicle or your friendship? Absolutely. Proceed with caution, or not at all.

Install an exhaust whistle

This exhaust whistle prank will cost you $10 on Amazon and all of eleven seconds to install in your victim's car's tailpipe, but there's a chance it could annoy them all the way to the shop, depending on their mechanical aptitude. Just make sure you're there to capture their reaction like this guy was when he pranked the sales people at this Kia dealership.

Swap the plate frame

Glen hates the Calgary Flames. He's always been an Oilers guy. Imagine then, how Glen will feel when he realizes the reason the whole break room is laughing is because he's been driving around for the last week with a red and white Flames license plate frame on the back of his pickup. Oh man, Glen is gonna be so pissed!

Wire the horn to the brakes

Wiring your friend's car's horn to their brake lights is potentially quite dangerous in that it causes a highly stressful environment for the driver almost immediately. Our lawyer says we should tell you not to do it. So don't do what this guy did:

Colour the wiper fluid

Funny by way of annoying. Because even though the windshield wiper fluid will still technically clean glass after you've added a few drops of red food colouring into the mix, the car's owner will still probably want to drain the tank ASAP. Or want you to drain the tank ASAP.

Re-park the car

An oldie but a goodie. Get ahold of the keys to their car when they're not looking and then move it. For a subtle, mind-game approach, simply reposition the vehicle in its parking spot or move it just a few feet, and then repeat daily until they question their reality.

Trick a sleeping passenger into thinking they're moments from death at 15 km/h

Your buddy is sleeping in the rear bucket seat of your SUV and you just remembered his embarrassing toast at your wedding. Revenge is best served at 15 km/h. While driving along casually, get everyone in the vehicle to suddenly scream. Your friend will wake up maybe the worst way possible, with cold confused terror pumping through his veins. His speech is on tape, so it's only fair you film this too.

Reprogram the memory seat settings

Reprogramming the seat memory settings is a simple but effective way to annoy a driver. Imagine your lanky prankee, morning coffee in hand, frantically mashing at the door console as their seat, rather than moving into their ideal position, slowly smooshes them into the steering wheel.

Connect a zip tie to the driveshaft

Convince your victim their vehicle's transmission is on the fritz by strapping a zip tie to the drive shaft. With every revolution, the little plastic tab strikes metal and creates quite the noise. And until you get right underneath the car, the source will be a mystery.
