My car and I saved today by a cheap horn!

Hey, please go ahead and laugh at these pictures. My wife bought me a cheapo air horn pair for Christmas and I finally hooked it up about 2 weeks ago. Mostly to scare the livin pee out of our dog who has developed a nasty habit of chasing a car down our driveway and then running across it's path, but also to help wake up some of the idiots I share the roads with.

Today as I left work and reached the highway a "driver" passed several cars on a highway exit ramp, blew through the stop sign and started to drive across rt. 145 to reenter the highway right in front of me. There was no time to stop, but I instictively laid on the horn as he quickly approached me to my left. He locked it up, I swerved and we missed. I'm certain that without that extra horn volume it would have been pretty ugly.

Speaking of ugly, I wasn't sure I would even want this horn on my car, but it's not coming off now. Besides, it's already paid for. And paid for. And paid for. And paid for. And paid for. And paid for. And paid for. And paid for. etc.
