i have contimplated using guitar string/ piano wire atached to a handle in the past, never actually went through with it, but if you ever played the game hitman you can lob peoples heads off with it.

Get the smallest size guitar string is the right option like Kryptic stated but first use a razor blade and cut the corner beads out first, this will make it easier to do.

Hood release cable works great , go to the wrecker and cut the cable under the hood and pull the handle out from under the dash . Wire with a handle thast super tough , thats how i cut windsheilds outa cars works like a dream.
