New uses for the towing hook hole - Toyota Yaris Forums

SailDesign · 05-04-2010, 05:00 PM

So, here was the thought. We have hundreds of f'ing tourists staring at their GPS's, anything but where they are going.
I had thought of making up a fake missile-head, and screwing it into the tow-hook hole. Sort of a khaki head with a yellow cap. Then the flip-top "arm and fire" switch on the dash, and at least I pretend to move them out of the way....
Anyone seen one pre-made so I don't have to DIY?

hahahah
That would rock. You must do it.

You could also add a sticker for every car that you destroy... You know, to keep track of your kills.

1. In-flight refueling boom.
2. Ramming pole.
3. Fishing pole holder.
4. Ham radio antenna mount.
5. Dish TV mount.
6. Hang your Yaris in the garage to save space.
7. Connect two BIG bungee cords (forming a V), backup as far as you can and drop it into neutral.

You could make a fake turd on a stick. The effect seems to work well with rubber vomit

heh, or just a machine gun barrel. That would be cool.

I haven't seen a complete premade, but you could use a Nerf missile and and piece of threaded rod:

You could bore it out, fit a paintball/airsoft gun barrel in it and put a hopper under the hood.

whole new meaning to the smoking gun... but you could set it up so that it does not appear even in the towing hook hole... just use a corner shot type barrel and aim it so that it goes up slightly... then tie it to the horn switch coupled with brake light activation... only if both of those activate, then it fires... or something like that...

You could put a big pink dildo and tailgate nice cars or Hondas.

But what if their exhaust pipes are on the wrong side!??

I've got a spare Mauser rifle barrel. I've thought of mounting the end of it poking out, like a machine gun in an airplane wing.
