When I was a kid we used to cruise the car washes. We would go by slow, turn off the key, punch the throttle once and turn the key back on. It would cause a very loud backfire and make all the gangsters hit the ground on their bellies. Worked every time. They stopped coming around because it made them too nervous and paranoid. lol

Great technique...I think that only works with stick shift cars, correct?
