I remember the flame throwers. They would mount spark plugs on the exhaust tips to a switch. Then adjust the carb mix so rich it's blowing out vary strong gas fumes, hit the switch and blow flames 15 feet. Not so good for tailgaters

Hey! That's wasting fuel. Hardy-Har-Har!

When I was a kid we put steel tubes on our bicycle and wad a piece of newspaper in it. Light it and if it burn slow enough it'd look like exhaust.

When I was a teenager with a vehicle we would run a vacuum line from the intake manifold into a small container of light weight oil. It would make quite a smoke screen. Didn't do that too often though. Spark plugs fouled too quickly.

Back in the early 80's I use to drive a chevy step van , with a 4 speed manual . There was a bridge everyone would fish on . While driving by I would turn off the ignition while in gear and pump the gas , then turn the key back on while in gear . The truck would backfire and scare the crap out of those guys fishing . ( Stopped doing it after the muffler blew off)

I had a school bus driver who did the same thing. Us kids loved it. Those old 454's made quite the boom.

I'm guessing none of you naysayers ever spilled a little fuel

NOT on purpose... AND I for dang sure don't spill any out of my exhaust on purpose either...

I was guilty of that too when I was 16. My daddy had a Ford with side pipes.

Have you tried a trash bag over your air filter? Also try setting a tire on fire and rolling it down a hill.
