    I fantasize about mounting twin paintball machine guns in my grill.... or better yet a tracking gatling gun (paintball) like on an Apache helocopter.

    Yes, I know, back to theropy and meds...:biggrin_25523:

    I've had the paintball gun fantasy myself, and wondered if one could buy skunk scented paintballs. :biggrin_2551:

    The closest I came to fulfilling that fantasy was when I traveled I40 between Greensboro and Durham, NC every day with the tailgaters from hell. Discovered by accident one day that the washer fluid nozzle on the rear of the work van was partially obstructed and it would pump more fluid into the airflow behind the van than onto the glass. A nice side effect was that the spray ended up on the windshield of anyone on my arse. Needless to say, I decided to keep the rear reservoir topped off and would find the need to thoroughly clean my rear window several times each trip. Tailgaters rarely hung around after that. It was a nice stress reliever.

    I'm a newer driver 9 months experience and counting so I'm still learning patterns everyday. But I usually vape with nicotine. If the coil burns out, etc. I'll smoke sometimes or chew lately. I also run mostly at night so I don't have to worry about traffic or scales as much
