Bruce,

Our intent was to include a Dummy warhead only, hence no need for a blast
shield.  The dummy would not only destroy the radar unit, but probably soil
the officers pants sufficiently that he might not ever use radar again.  A
live warhead would require Imron Paint and tempered glass on the launching
vehicle to withstand the blast.

On the contrary, a TR would propel itself quite well, BACKWARDS, whenever
the vulcan was fired.  I've been near Vulcans when they were fired, you
don't want to mount one on a car.  Also, no one would hear your Monza
exhaust during while the vulcan was firing.  (whoops, almost quoted a firing
rate)

I've got a solution for the neighbors dog and car tires too.  Hook your the
High Voltage (tension) lead of your Lucas super sport coil up to a wire
screen under each of the car tires and leave it energized.  Urine (salty
water) bridges the circuit from the wheel to the wire grid, Gottcha!  I ahd
a neighbor who insisted on walking their dog on a narrow section of grass I
had on the top of a short retaining wall.  I ripped out the dying grass and
planted cactus.  Surprisingly, the neighbor was really pissed off at me.  Go
figure.

You guys are bring out my evil side now.  It's a shame Johnny Storm has
bugged out for the summer. He'd like this thread.
