Any switches in the van which could ignite the gasoline fumes? Brake pedal brake light switch would have been nice.

A clever form of defense against would-be carjackers(!), but yes, dangerous. The would-be victim still has to pay for all that gasoline, and if charges are pressed, it could be for ā€˜reckless endangermentā€™. Thereā€™s a real possibility that whole scene could have gone Hindenburg in quite a hurry. ---

Billy Jack does that to some motorcycle punks in ā€˜Born Losersā€™. ---

I liked the Billy Jack movies. I think it was Trial of Billy Jack, 1976, that when I saw it in a theater the sound was a fraction of a second out of sync, made the movie difficult to watch. But the franchise is dated.. Even fewer would remember Paul Simon on SNL ![IMG_3145](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/d/9/d9901136750ecce9cca0769c49594c7d6b751085.jpeg) ---

I did see Tom Laughlin stumping his way here in NH 2004 running for president. He received over 150 votes too. ---

Would have been worth the extra $4.90! Shall use your _ā€Gone Hindenburgā€_ line. Must keep my **Zippo** lighter on me. ---

ā€˜Born Losersā€™ was the first of the Billy Jack movies. ā€œMe and Mrs. Jonesā€ was performed by Billy Paul. ![IMG_3152](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/7/8/78b819ae63cf64c9ce40bec80e6f0b4e97fa549d.jpeg) ---

That was high-level situational awareness.
