I drove a Model A Ford in high school and there were a couple of punks who thought it was smart to 'harrass' the old car driver. So I put a handfull of bottle rockets in the spare tire carrier on the back and ran the igniter wire to the cabin with access to the 6 V. battery. Then next time, a 'flower' of exploding pop bottle rockets shot at them and after they screeched to a stop and stopped laughing, we didn't have any more trouble.
