Default Poetic Justice?

Rural area. Retired neighbor. Former tool/die maker. Holds several
patents for mechanical devices. Has a 1985 Olds, body not the best but
mech condition excellent. Has an oil dump set-up to handle tailgaters.
Was on local secondary road Wednesday, 55 limit, says he was doing 70+
when a Porsche came up fast and started tailgating him. Didn’t pass,
just sat on his bumper at 70+. Pulled oil dump to put a light film on
windshield of tailgater. Dump valve broke and about 10 quarts of old oil
dumped. Porsche spun, sideswiped concrete bridge railing and stopped. I
went to the scene, neighbor’s request, police and paramedics were there
and the car was a mess. Front totally covered with oil and broken
windshield, heavy damage on right side, appears maybe frame bent. Air
bag deployed. Driver was injured. Kicker? Porsche was stolen and driver
was wanted for several offenses including prior auto theft.

Sounds like an urban legend.

Of course, what happens to the next innocent driver who happens to
drive through the oil slick?

A simpler and more effective rig would be to do what a friend of mine did.
He filled his windshield washer reservoir with ATF and stuck the wiper hose
into the intake. One button push of the washer and it'd leave an
impenetrable smokescreen.

Don't try this at home
