How do you make a car smoke as a prank?

Is there a way for me to make my dad’s car smoke as a prank? He’s letting me borrow it, and he’s been really annoying about how careful I need to be with it, so I want to prank him by pretending that I destroyed it by accident.

There are a number of ways to make a car smoke, so the difficult part of this prank will be finding a way to do it safely. One suggestion from the pranksters of the internet is to pour a small amount of
transmission fluid
on the exhaust pipe of the car.
While transmission fluid leaks can damage a car, most of the damage is caused by a lack of fluid in the engine. Since the excess fluid isn’t caused by a leak, you’ll just be left with a thick cloud of smoke that will leave your dad confused!
To smooth over the prank afterward, consider showing your dad the
Jerr​​y
app. Jerry is a helpful tool that could help your dad save hundreds of dollars on his car insurance every year. It takes less than a minute to sign up and see your options.
