1. Morning Joe
Duct-tape an empty coffee mug or Starbucks cup to the roof of your car, and enjoy the reactions of other drivers. To make the most of the joke, you need to act completely oblivious to the honks and hand signals that are sure to come your way – sing along with the radio with great gusto, smile and wave at well-meaning travelers, etc.
2. Baby Maker
Similar to "Morning Joe", only with a car seat and a baby doll bought from your local toy store. This prank works best if you appear as if you are in a hurry. You can choose to duck tape the car seat to the car, but for the best effect just sit it on the roof of your car at a gas station or Starbucks and drive off.
3. Moving the Car
You'll need access to the car keys for this prank. You can move the car just a few parking spaces over so the driver feels just a little out of sorts and forgetful, or you can move it to a completely different level of the parking garage to send the car owner on a scavenger hunt. If you move the car a long distance, make sure you keep an eye on the one being pranked and stop him before he calls the police to report a stolen car.
4. Small Changes
This is another prank requiring the car keys. The idea is to change one small thing in a person's car each day. For instance, reprogram a radio station, change the height of the driver's seat, or clean up a pile of leftover napkins. The longer you can keep this going, the better the overall effect. Just try to keep a straight face when your friend or co-worker complains about all the little things he or she doesn't remember doing to the car. This prank works best for your ocd friends and neat freaks.
5. Wrapping
Wrapping someone's car is a classic safe car prank. You can use plastic wrap or toilet paper, and the more complete the covering, the better the effect. If you really don't the person, shrink wrap their car on your lunch break. When its time for everyone to go they'll be stuck there for a while. For those of your friends who are into glitz and glamor try wrapping their car in aluminum foil.
6. Fiesta!
Fill the car's air vents with confetti. The driver will enjoy a fun shower the next time she turns up the air conditioner or heat.
7. Car for Sale
Make a "Car for Sale" sign and tape it to the window of someone else's car with his or her phone number on the paper. Make sure the car is parked in a highly visible area, and that the driver won't notice the sign long enough for a good deal of people to see it. The price should also be low, so the owner is sure to receive many calls.
8. Fill the Car
Fill the interior of the car with something that will pour out when the door is opened or just take up a lot of space making it impossible to get inside the car. A few ideas include:
- Styrofoam packing peanuts
- Shredded or crumpled up paper
- Ping-pong balls
- Balloons
9. Coke and a Smile
Tie a couple coke cans to your best friend's front axle or exhaust pipe. This prank doesn't usually last that long but its definitely good for the "gotcha" factor.
10. Post It!
Cover their car in post it notes. If the person is lazy or in a rush, they will only take off the post it notes on the windshield and drive the car to class. If you want to get fancy, start spelling words or making patterns with different color post it notes. For a longer effect only cover the passenger side of the car as they just might not even notice that their car has post-it notes on it.
