Road Rage: Fantasy Weapons

Post by Dreamer » Mon Dec 22, 2003 8:46 pm

Okay, silly topic. But it sounded like fun.

I don't have road rage, I am not particularly angry with anyone right now. And in fact, I really don't have a suggestion to get this discussion going but anyway:

What weapon would oyu like put on your car? From the reasonable to the unreasonable, fanciful to realistic, scientific to medieval. What would you like on your car to help you deal with road rage?

I am inspired by a story I read about a car addition in South Africa that will apparently protect against carjackers. When threatened by a carjacker, a push of a button will release jets of flame and flambe the would-be assailant.
My sig would have contained the secret of life, but I'd already clicked submit.

I just want a tank. Fully functional, of course.

Get in the way? Scrunch, straight over.

Anything big? Shoot it! Boom!

What scares me? Mobile phones, bad driving, and brake lights.

I have been considering getting a Q-Beam mounted on the top of my car facing backwards to 'dissuade' people from tailgaiting me at night.

Other than that, I usually don't have many problems with anger while driving. I find it very relaxing.

I don't care who's right, who's wrong, or what you meant to say. Only thing I care about is the Truth. If you have it, good, share it. If not, find it. If you want to argue, do it with someone else.

I just want the buster sword and an ejector seat. That way I get launched out of the car, do about thirteen front flips and start a sword fight with the idiot who cut me off.

Hmm...

Car-to-idiot-in-van missiles would be fun, to get rid of the idiot in the minivan going 25-30MPH in a 40MPH zone (assuming it could totally vape him, no debris). (And before anyone asks, clear, warm weather, although it was after dark.)

Actually, any variety of vehicle-to-vehicle missile would be fun, assuming a perfect targetting system. The next person who cuts out in front of me to pass a car that's going a little too slow for his tastes and then immediately back because his exit was only a 1/2 mile away would be on the receiving end of one of those babies.

There also needs to be "turn off your blinker" projectiles, turning off the blinker of the idiot who has apparently been thinking of getting off for the past three exits.

Of course, I'm from Massachusetts, home of some of the worst drivers in the US, so I might be overly biased in my need for HE weaponry.

Actually, I can think of a very good weapon to use against road rage, but it requires a Dodge Ram that has the hex grill pattern. What you do is mount a paintball gun inside the grill so it shoots through. Next time somebody cuts you off, SPLAT! And it is concealed as well, so it isn't blatently obvious. It doesn't hurt the other driver either, he'll just have to pull over and use some elbow grease quickly if he doesn't want the paint to dry.

Yeah I'd need armored tires and a roof mounted rocket launcher, too many combines, tractors, minivans, soccor moms in suvs, little old men who can's see over the steering wheel, and assorted arseholes, all driving atleast 10 miles below the speed limit, in this state for anything less to suffice.
If I can get you to laugh with me, you like me better, which makes you more open to my ideas. And if I can persuade you to laugh at the particular point I make, by laughing at it you acknowledge its truth.

Lets see... I like the Flame thrower idea. Fun when your a pyro. Then again, assorted bladed weapons would be nice here, too.

Oh, and dmpotter, RHODE ISLAND has the worst drivers. Not Mass. We beat you guys out so bad, it's not even funny. That's what you get for stealing our accent.

...Wait. In that case, take the accent AND the drivers. Don't need both...

A hood-mounted machine gun and a copy of that song from Spyhunter.
