If I could figure out what TSHTS means - I might be able to say...
You can start by googling the word 'douche bag'.

My question is What can you strip from these now useless vehicles?
Obviously, the first thing that comes to mind is the battery. You can use it to make a spark and start a fire. Use it to power lights, cigarette lighter or other gadgets, at least temporarily. I'm hoping there are some more knowledgable people on here with some good ideas.
I guess I'd cut out the seat belts. That material is very strong and I'm sure could come in handy for something. I'd imagine someone who is mechanically inclined could remove the air bag and use it as a booby-trap (if you haven't seen it, check out the youtube video of the mechanics playing a trick on their friend. they put an airbag inside a stack of tires and have their victim sit on the tires. then they activate the airbag. the guy flies up several feet and lands pretty hard on the concrete. cruel joke, but effective self-defense set up).
You could strip out all the wiring to use for snares,etc.
What are your ideas?
