My older brother who had just turned 16 bought an old "57 Chevy. There were speakers on the back seat window deck but they didn't work. We unscrewed them so they could easy pop out.

Now if you're not familiar with the trunk on that car I can tell you you could almost stuff a VW into it.

Well, my job was to sit in the trunk and as he was driving around with his friends (back seat filled) I would randomly reach up through the speaker hole and grab someone by the shoulder. What fun Freak out time for everyone involved. Then the game was to get new "friends" to enjoy the fun...
