    I'm out driving the shop truck and this blue Buick stops in front of me at the stop light. I whip out my handy IPhone and snap a quick pic of the exhaust tip. You can't see it in the picture but electrical wires are powering this thingamagige.

    Any clue what it does?

    When you hit the Stun button on the dash, it grinds fresh pepper out the exhaust causing those who are tailing too close to catch a whiff and back off

    Interesting, that video was done in 2003, they've been illegal in Cal since Jan 2004.

    I wonder if what's in the pic is in fact a flamethrower - hence the wires. You don't usually see these on newer cars. I've read where the ones today are propane powered!

    Back in the day, the way you got one of these to flame was by pulling your choke out to dump a bunch of raw gas into the exhaust while you hit the switch (spark plug inserted into the pipe and powered by an ignition coil) for the flamethrower. With modern engines of course this won't work....
