It might seem like a prank or a bit of fun, but many people across the world have turned to tampering with their car’s electrical systems in order to disable it. Why? For a range of reasons – some people might want to cause mischief, others might be motivated by revenge, and still others might just enjoy seeing their opponents panic. If you’re thinking about doing the same thing to someone’s car, read on for some tips on how to make it as difficult as possible for them to get it moving again!
What You’ll Need
To make your car untowable, you’ll need the following supplies: a screwdriver, a length of rope, and some sealant.
Start by removing the screws that secure the dashboard to the car frame. Be sure to save the screws! You’ll need them later.
Next, tie one end of the rope around one of the screws and pull tight. Now do the same thing with the other end of the rope and the second screw. You now have a makeshift tow bar!
If you’re pulling a trailer or another vehicle, be sure to attach your tow bar in front of the rear axle instead of behind it. This will prevent your car from being jolted when you hit something while driving.
Finally, use sealant to secure your tow bar to the dashboard and car frame. Make sure to cover all exposed areas of the rope and screws.
How to Do It
If you’re thinking about staging a protest or simply want to make your car untowable, there are a few things you’ll need to do.
First, you’ll need some supplies. These include things like a cutting tool, bolt cutters, and a tow truck. Second, you’ll need to know how to do the lockpicking technique. This involves using small picks that fit between the pins of the car’s locks. Finally, in order to actually make the car unusable, you’ll need to use the bolt cutters to remove the tow truck’s cable from the car’s brake system.
What to Watch Out For
When deciding how to make your car untowable, be aware of these six dangers.
1. Electrical wiring: If you can access the electrical system, you can disable the car’s engine and lights.
2. Gasoline: You can also set the car on fire by igniting the fuel.
3. Brakes: If you can stop the car from moving, you’ve halted its ability to be towed.
4. Steering: If you can steer the car off the road, it will be difficult for a tow truck to take it away.
5. Wheel bearings: To remove a wheel from a car, you must first disable the bearings.
