10.) Tire-Shredding Econo-Test
What you do:
Put just enough gas in your tank to make it to work, then waste some of it shredding tires in your driveway before you set off. The challenge then, is to make it to work on your compromised mileage.

8.) The One-Fingered Commute
What you do:
Tape your middle fingers as though they've been broken but in such a way that while you're driving along at 10 and 2 (or 3 and 9) or so that just random hand motions you make in the car look like you're flipping off traffic around you.

5.) The Job Security Motivational Rally
What you do:
Call your boss before work. Leave a message on his/her answering machine. Tell him/her exactly what you think of him/her in unkind words and then yell, "I QUIT!" Then race to the office, hoping you can beat your boss to work, and erase the message.

4.) Back Way Forwards
What you do:
If you're stuck in stop and go traffic all the way with an average speed of say 15 kph, drive in reverse all the way to work. Take pictures of the drivers in the cars "behind" you. Post to Facebook with confused captions like, "What is the deal with people?"
3.) The Donut Run
What you do:
Drive to work on four spare tires, or 175's. Works best on 'weathery' days.
2.) The Sane Solution
