GCHQ used to challenge applicants to disassemble a motor vehicle, and reassemble it indoors. Perhaps this inspired Chris and Mitch's revenge prank on Kent (for Kent's phone spying / leaking stunt)?
Disassembling a car and reassembling it in someone's room (or on the roof) was also a classic prank at Caltech, especially back in the 1930s when Model Ts were common.
