Also wanted to mount a 2 million candlepower lilght in the back window for the tailgating semis.

Amazing. I had similar fantasies, only it was my A/H Sprite, and MG Midget, before the Spit...
One involved bright lights behind me. Similar to your idea Randy, a bank of old Lucas "Flamethrowers" would rise from the trunk on a sissor jack, and proceed to burn all the paint from the offending tailgaters hood....
The other was the result of a real situation where a guy raced up to me in heavy traffic and laid on his horn. Scaring me half to death, I pulled over, he went ahead....right into a pack of bumper-to-bumper traffic. I couldn't resist putting the horn to him....the look of his eyes in the rearview was worth it! Anyway, the horn fantasy is to mount the horns from a CSX diesel on a similar sissor jack arrangement. Either through a port in the hood, or the trunk lid raising, the horns would elevate....the compressor would build up pressure, and BBBBRRRRRAAAAAKKKKK! I would watch the twirps hood (or trunk lid) peel back with decibel precision.
Like you, I always thought we drivers of little cars needed some BIG help.....
