Another possibility: get some dry ice. Cut off a little bit (without touching it -- it will burn your fingers) and put it in some water in a countainer in your car. The water will bubble and emit copious quantities of "smoke." What's more, there will be real CO2 in it . . . Edit -- Dry ice is easy enough to handle, just have them put it in a box or something and to avoid burns don't touch it with your bare hands -- use tongs or if you must handle it more directly use something to insulate your hands, such as gloves -- it won't keep the cold out for very long but it should be long enough to shave some off or whatever you have to do.
