A portable and scaleable barrier uses a unique combination of feet, interconnecting members and top portions to provide a vehicle barrier that is capable of, for example, lifting the vehicle of the ground and providing substantial undercarriage damage. The interconnecting nature of the barrier allows the barrier to be configured or adapted based on, for example, a particular environmental condition or application.

What is claimed is: 1. A vehicle barrier comprising: a plurality of vehicle immobilizing forms, each form including a substantially upright section having a vehicle contact side and a pivotable side, an extension section extending from said upright section on said vehicle contact side and an opposing pivotable section on the pivotable side positioned on an opposing side of the vehicle contact side of said upright section, said extension having a length which when a vehicle impacts said upright section on the vehicle contact side said extension section extends into an underside of the vehicle while said pivotable section on the pivotable side anchors into a ground surface, by utilizing the weight and the momentum of the vehicle being exerted on the vehicle barrier during an impact, to provide a barrier to immobilize the vehicle; and at least one interconnecting member connecting said plurality of vehicle immobilizing forms and creating a rigid barrier structure, said at least one interconnecting member being positioned between each of said plurality of vehicle immobilizing forms for spacing and supporting each form with respect to an adjacent form; wherein said interconnecting member is of a length greater than a thickness of each of said forms. 2. The vehicle barrier as defined in claim 1, wherein said forms are of an inverted T-shaped configuration. 3. The vehicle barrier of claim 2, wherein a top portion of said T-shaped form is at least one of rounded, spiked, forked and squared off. 4. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein the interconnecting member is at least one of tubular, T-shaped and a bar. 5. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein said extension section and said pivoting section are any combination of spiked, flat, rounded and forked. 6. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein the barrier is in the form of a barrier section and detachably connectible with one or more additional barrier sections. 7. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, further comprising a securing mechanism adapted to secure at least one of a pedestrian barrier and a sign. 8. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein the at least one interconnecting member is adapted to secure the plurality of forms at a predetermined separating distance. 9. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein said pivotable section has a length that is shorter than said extension section. 10. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein a portion of the pivotable section cooperates with the upright section and the weight and momentum of the vehicle upon impacting the upright section of the vehicle barrier to engage the pivotable section into a ground surface thus anchoring the vehicle barrier into the ground to immobilize the vehicle. 11. The vehicle barrier of claim 1, wherein the pivotable section acts as a fulcrum, the extension section acts as a load when engaged with an underside of the vehicle and the upright section acts as an effort when pushed by the impact of the vehicle, all of which functions as a first class lever to lift the vehicle upon the vehicle barrier being siruck by a vehicle. 12. A vehicle immobilizing form comprising: a substantially upright section having a vehicle contact side and a pivotable side, an extension section extending from said upright section on the vehicle contact side; and an opposing pivotable section positioned on the pivotable side which is on an opposing side of the vehicle contact side of said upright section, wherein said extension section has a length which cooperates with said pivotable section and said upright section in response to a vehicle contacting said upright section causing said extension section to be cantilevered into an underside of the vehicle, wherein said pivotable section acting as fulcrum, said upright section acting as an effort and utilizing the weight and momentum of the vehicle on the vehicle barrier to immobilize the vehicle. 13. The vehicle immobilizing form as defined in claim 12, wherein said form is of an inverted T-shaped configuration. 14. The vehicle immobilizing form of claim 13, wherein a top portion of said T-shaped form is at least one of rounded, spiked, forked and squared off. 15. The vehicle immobilizing form of claim 12, wherein the vehicle immobilizing form is in the form of a barrier section including a plurality of vehicle immobilizing forms which are adapted to be detachably interconnected with one another. 16. The vehicle immobilizing form of claim 12, wherein said pivotable section has a length that is shorter than the length of said extension section. 17. The vehicle immobilizing form of claim 12, wherein a portion of the pivoting section cooperates with the upright section and the weight and momentum of the vehicle upon impacting the upright section of the vehicle barrier to engage the pivotable section into a ground surface and to anchor the vehicle barrier into the ground to immobilize the vehicle. 18. The vehicle immobilizing form of claim 12, wherein the pivoting section acts as a fulcrum, the extension section acts as a load when engaged with an underside of the vehicle and the upright section acts as an effort when pushed by the impact of the vehicle, all of which functions as a first class lever to lift the vehicle upon the upright section being struck by a vehicle.
