I just use a harpoon gun and chain. The driver in front of me hears a slight 'thud' but just assumes he ran over a cat.

If you put over-sized tires on the rear, you're always driving down hill. You get great gas mileage with over-sized rear tires.

Thanks Joe ! That is a GREAT tip ! It is for help like this that the $289. membership fee is repaid many times over. ( Do you think that if I way over inflate the rear tires changing them from 15 inch to, say 25 inch would do the trick?)
