The above pranks have focused mainly on parts that don’t exist, cars that don’t exist, or maintenance items that people panic over for no reason because, well, they don’t exist. But suppose you like proper old-fashioned practical jokes. In that case, there are some other options you could rely on, like putting a for sale sign on your friend’s car so they’re inundated with phone calls, or putting a sign that says “Honk if you’re… *insert anything that will elicit a honk from anyone on the road.”
These are simple, but they’re still some of the best car pranks that are timeless. The good old-fashioned whoopie cushion on the driver’s seat is great too, although Tesla has now made that a gimmick in its cars.
If you have some time on your hands, you could always wrap your friend’s car in saran wrap, cover it in sticky notes, or fill it up with ping pong balls, all of which are harmless pranks for cars that are intended purely to see your friend’s reaction and maybe waste their time a little.
Importantly, at the end of the day, no one gets hurt, and everyone laughs or learns.
