I hit my air horn a few summers ago as a zombie tried moving into my lane. The girl driving reacted so badly, she ended up flipping the car more than 3 times. No one was hurt and folks who stopped told the police she had been driving weird for more than 50 miles and they were expecting a crash at any minute. Yurns out she and her girlfriends were high but at least had their seatbelts on.

For every action, there is a reaction. Be prepared.......

I was working with a guy who installed train horns on his rig.... insane. He sounded it in a parking lot outside of an office building and hundreds came to the windows to look for the train.

Turns out she and her girlfriends were high but at least had their seatbelts on.

And people say driving while high or stoned doesn't affect you in a significant way, like alcohol does. The AAA and NTSA people disagree, and I've seen similar stuff to what gnosez experienced.

I bet those girls will think twice about toking up in a car again.

That was a good one I read sometime back where someone warned that the urge to honk at the people that seem oblivious because they are moving so slow in front of you can sometimes have the unwanted result of them panicking and slamming on the brakes.

That's good advice and I'm thinking this might be a good justification for me to drop the car off at Rebello this summer

Oh I can hear that one, "Sweetheart, I need a $10,000 Rebello engine, it's a safety issue, can't be too carfeful these days."

egad! Is that what those go for now? Yikes, maybe just a brake upgrade then

A trick used in the early to late 70's around here was to get the car horns off of a 6V system and hook it up to the 12V. Unusual sound and very loud. Honking the horn in front of a business that had a vibratory alarm system would set it off, they usually did this late at night. Note: They will burn out rather quickly if used for an extended time, but they do get attention.

Never mind the brake upgrades, stock parts are just as expensive!
