Make them out of just a bit more than half critical mass of uranium, so that collisions all lead to gigantic and wondrous nuclear explosions and mushrooms clouds.

:rofl:

My physics teacher thought I was creative, but insane.

:rofl:

I still think it would be kinda funny.

It would surely make us all a hell of a lot more careful when driving.

1. on a similar train of thought
I once proposed that car alarms didn't actually toot the horn over and over again, but instead set off the serrated barbed wire-wrapped plastique charge in each door panel.
