Do your headlight sprayers shoot 20 feet in the air and not even hit your headlights at all? I have found this is useful for tailgaiters and those pesky pedestrians.

Word of advice, don't pee in the dark........

There is actually a two pronged Porsche tool used to adjust these. Most of the time if you are really careful and the ball sprayers have not seized in the surround......you can adjust them with a small thin blade screwdriver.

As far as tailgaters go, I have a friend with an SUV as a daily driver. It has a rear wiper and washer. He took off the clipped on nosel that directs the water at the rear window..........now it shoots back about 10-15 feet straight behind him..........very effective to move people out from behind you.

Mike,

pretty funny, prolly illegal and sure to elicit road rage from the low lifes......

now all he needs is a setup that releases acid, or a very very sticky fast drying fluid, boiling maple syrup maybe

I knew someone with a Jeep Cherokee that had a broken rear wiper.... it would do the same when you try and wash the rear window

MikeN

Ya, I know......but dang if it ain't funny when he does it........

and then it turns out to be a cop tailgating him

Couldn't you mount roman candle in the rear bumper where those black spots are? I like that story about the rockets. LOL

20 some years ago, when I was out causing trouble with my 1967 Chrysler Town & Country wagon, I pulled one of the windshield washer sprayers and wedged it in the grill so that it shot out to the side. The tank had plain water in it. At the time, the big deal was for kids to drive up and down the El Camino... kind of like "American Graffiti". I'd sneak up beside someone with their window open and honk the horn. When they stuck their head out wondering what the heck was going on, I'd squirt 'em in the face.... It was really fun until the cops figured out what I was doing. The guy that pulled me over yanked the nozzle and ground it underfoot(littering) then wrote me up for having non-functional washer nozzles.

Ah the days of youth and unbounded stupidity...

the other thing you could do is get a thing of diesel and have an injector in your exhaust and create a huge smelly smoke screen making it impossible for the other person to see/breathe, make it kinda hard for a cop to pull you over too, although there radio is kind quick

Actually.... vegetable or mineral oil.... works REALLY good. Don't ask me how I know.... but let's just say it's an alternate use of the windshield washer system...

This is pretty hillareous! I've often wished that my car had some "James-Bond-like" features to deal with the tailgaters. But then again, I'd rather stay out of trouble...

Did I ever tell the story of the retired dentist who lived in the neighborhood when I grew up? He was a former motorcycle racer, and despite his age (75+) still very young at heart.

He owned a Citroen CX with a one-wiper system on the windshield. He knew that when the windshield was all wet, on the first wipe it would splash a load of water towards the left side of the car.

And he was an uncurable speeder. Got stopped over and over again, and as a result he just hated the cops. Once he was pulled over in the rain, and as the officer was at his window, checking license and registration, my dear neighbor turned on the wiper...

Apparently the officer did not realize this was done on purpose, but my neighbor got the greatest kick out of it. An opportunity for a prank on a police officer? He'd go for it. What do you have to lose at 75+?
