“The movement have now deflated tyres on around 9,000 SUVs in cities across the world since March, striking continuously, and look set to surpass their goal of 10,000 SUVs deflated by Christmas,” the statement added.
The group has said its aim is “to make it impossible to own an SUV in the world’s urban areas”, condemning the vehicles as “unnecessary ‘luxury emissions’, flaunted by the wealthy, that are a climate disaster, cause air pollution and make our roads more dangerous”.
lol, lmao
Really need to hit dealerships. They're all in one place and you can prevent them from being sold to begin with. Also you need to do more than let air out of the tires. They'll just make some mechanic go around and fill them back up, making their job harder. You really need to make them buy new tires. Then purchasing, receiving, and accounting have to get involved. They have to source new tires. They have to wait on delivery. They have to pay way more money than making some 19 year old trainee fill up tires. Cause a tire shortage for SUVs. Can't sell them without tires. Can't really transport them anywhere either.
Agreed, though I know for a fact in France for example they're doing only that because you incur far far less of a penalty if caught (compared to, say, puncturing the tire). Makes finding new members easier.
Tire valve tool, costs a few bucks, can be found in any auto parts/tools store and can be used to take out the little plunger in the tire valve stem that keeps the air in.
Or you could take the next step like that :gigachad: Cal Tech student back in the day. Pretty sure he was a lone wolf, but the pigs tried to tie him to ELF and I think they stuck some terrorism charges on top of the arson. Thankfully they got overturned, eventually.
You know, I bet that would land better 20 years of inaction and reluctant consciousness later. :fedposting:
there's an cool braniac (british tv show, kinda sexist) where they do a pot of thermite into the engineblock of a car and i have never been brave enough.
enjoy your terrorism charges if you go for that. maybe there's a middle-ground between deflating the tires and blowing the car up.
Last year I found this thing in a parking lot which a nearby dealer uses for overstock (It still has the peel-off shit on it).
I receive: 4 brand new tires and rims :trade-offer: You receive: 4 medium sized cement landscaping doohickies.
Some sort of sprayable solution that absolutely ruins the paint. Could hit and run very fast, manyvehicles. Can't sell shit with ruined paint
brake fluid does the job
Really? Like permanent obvious damage?
yes, it will take paint off down to the metal if allowed to sit
I thought that was brake cleaner? Brake fluid is just a specific oil, which should wash off.
brake cleaner used to be harsher, but it's still pretty bad. anyway, brake fluid absolutely does ruin paint in a few minutes.
Huh, tmyk
you may also be interested in 'aircraft paint stripper' which is a super toxic gel you can paint onto a surface and it'll get hot and flake that stuff right off. if you really need to bring some dickhead's luxury car down to bare metal in a hurry, that's probably the best bet
it will also take layers of skin off so, fun stuff
If one is not an aircraft mechanic, is it still purchaseable?
In the US it's sold at Walmart even. It's labeled as "aircraft remover" which is hilarious.
:thinkin-lenin:
if only the poor folks in the twin towers had know such a product existed.
most autoparts stores will have it. it's not controlled, don't think you even need to show ID like buying spray paint in many shops. i'm not mistaken for under 21 so some places might check ID, strongly doubt it though.
Thanks!
