	Two ways I've thought of counter-attacking tailgaters and
	high-beam followers:

	I intend to build a PA system into my new car. I want to
	be able to pick up a microphone in the car and address
	the world.

	    " WAITING FOR ANY PARTICULAR *SHADE* OF GREEN, LADY??"

	I've seen one in a friends' pickup. It was part of the CB
	and drove a speaker under his hood. I need to find a source
	for a ten-watt 12VDC amp to bolt to the firewall. Anyone know
	where I can get one?

	I have often thought of installing one of those window
	sprayers. Backwards from the rear bumper, fed from a
	reservoir of dirty oil in the trunk. Not enough to cause
	skids but enough to externally dim any high-beam tail-
	gaters.

	A less draconian measure would be to wire the back-up
	lights to a switch on the dash. They're not too bright
	but having to face them directly would be unfun.
