Q:
I suspect my ex of sabotaging my Mazda RX-7 in some manner or another. Could someone please tell me what the results are from adding sugar to the fuel system, and also the results of ? sabotage to the oil. I realize people are incredibly creative...just the common ones, I guess. Thank you
A:
What problems are you having? As for sugar in the gas, nothing will happen (despite what you may have heard) Sugar will not dissolve in gas and will get caught in the filter. Watch Myth Busters on the Discovery Channel, they did this to a Caddy V8 on their show. No ill effects at all.

This thread may become a how-to for idiots wanting to do this on some one elses car.
Do you mean sabotaging just to be irritating, or to seriously harm you?
For the irritation level, nothing beats glue in the door locks. Its quick, easy and results in several hundred dollars in repair.
One can pour fish row (fish eggs used for fishing bait) down the air vent in front of the windshield. The tiny eggs will get past the grill and sit in the ducts and stink to high heaven. Your interior will never smell the same!
If one can get sime industrial diamond abrasive dust (used for certain manufacturing and polishing purposes) and sprinkle it on the windshield wipers. That way, as soon as you turn on the wipers, the dust will scratch the hell out of the windshield.
Sugar in the tank?? No, it would be more effective to pour a couple of gallons of diesel in the tank. The car will run poorly and will put out SMOKE out the exhaust.
Sabotaging most mechanical parts involves raising the hood. If yours is locked down, you can avoid much trouble.
The most dangerous is to fool with the brake lines.
You can cut a pin-hole leak in a brake line, so when you step on the pedal, the fluid leaks out. If the hole is small, the brakes will still work, but you will run out of fluid after 10-30 brake applications......enough to be out of the city and have a brake failure on the highway, maybe.
One can also hammer a steel line flat. This is most dangerous when done to one wheel of the car. The brakes on that wheel will not release quickly after a brake application, making the car difficult to control.
Or she can do what my friends ex did to his car. She just threw a lawnmower through the windshield.

It's an RX-7... it wasn't sabotaged, it just flat out broke. You should know that by now.

Expanding foam in the exhaust is fun. Balonia on the paint in a hot day will *sometimes* fuck up the paint (also heard fresh cat shit will too... ). Have fun with a battery powered drill. Acid etching the windows is funny, if you keep it off the paint it will look like the are fogged up... but wont ever go away. Drain the coolent and put gas in the radiator - I'v heard it works. Loosen all the lug nuts- destroys the rims after a 100 or so miles, if they dont notice it it will come completely off. In some older cars you could put moth balls in the tank and it would keep running after you kill it, but probably wouldnt work on newer stuff. Could allways just pour sand into the throttle body and oil.

Oh yeah, forgot a classic- Mix metal shavings with vasoline and smear it all over the car, have to scrub it off and the metal shavings scratch the hell out of the paint.
