    Remember: a can of expanding foam can disable most any vehicle when sprayed in the right places.

        They sure do! And they still ruin expensive lumber mill equipment. Just a few trees can make an entire logging job unprofitable and not worth the risk.

        Bonus, it’s a felony to spike a tree, so you’d qualify for being president as well!

            Hypothetically, I would look up how to do it.

            But, if I had to make something up on the fly, I would get a length of rebar and cut it in half at an angle so you get two equal lengths spikes, then I would find out what size trees are most likely to be targeted in a logging campaign, then climb up to that height on the tree and hammer them in.

            Hypothetically.

        Sugar in a gas tank will only really clog the fuel filter. Sucrose doesn’t dissolve in gasoline. Water in the fuel would be more harmful than sugar.

          Mothballs.

          Or squirt super glue in the locks.

          Sand+oil+paint mixture on the windows.

          Stuff the radiator full of dryer lint.

          There is no shortage of ways to cheaply and quickly fuck up equipment.

            2 ways to get superglue out of a lock, acetone or heating it up with a torch and make it melt. So make sure not to put some solder inside the lock before you put the superglue in. The solder would melt and get stuck inside everywhere and be impossible to remove.

            Bleach, in the radiator mythbusters did this one, sugar won’t even slow down a modern engine, water is kind of shitty but you can just drain it and restart. Bleach in the radiator will age the engine by a decade for every 10 minutes its running.

            That’s also what concrete delivery guys use to stop the mix from curing in the hopper when their truck gets delayed or breaks down. (Well, more specifically, soda – not sure if the carbonation is also significant.)

              Its the sugar, it slows the curing of the concrete but doesn’t stop it entirely. Over about 2% concentration by weight it begins to affect the strength of the finished concrete though.
