Finally a car to discourage tailgaiters....

Tired of those annoying drivers that constantly tailgate, well this could be your solution.

See video....

What a pal. You know how those jet engines are always in the way, taking up space.


Following a car like that around will be useful to burn up all the dead bugs on the windshield.

I worked w/ a contractor that welded a large crescent wrench to the back edge of the bumper on his truck. He told me he hadn't been tailgated since.

That's awesome, lol. Reminds me of the episode of Jay Leno with his jet motorcycle. He says one time when he was waiting at the traffic light he saw in his rear view mirror the bumper of the car behind him starting to melt due to it being too close to his exhaust.

Didn’t they have a similar thing in South Africa to deter car thieves? It shot flames out from the sides of the car to teach any potential thief to maybe pick a different car
