How about if one of those ball bearings were to miss the car,
bounce off the road and put some little kids eye out?
Would you be just as happy?

Wasn'tit the forum prevaricator, 211Chuck, who claimed to do that stuff? I think he also stiff-armed their driver's-side rear view mirrors off the car. [:'(]
