From years of frustration, I am considering installing one of those super loud truck horns on my old 300D. I've seen some kid with a Ford PU truck who has a Train horn on his truck. Not in favor of this but **** some of these drivers deserve to get blasted the way they drive...
Is this a good thing ????

With all the documented Road Rage happenings going on today it might be not so very good of an idea. Why not compromise? But a marine aerosol can with the funnel. Keep it near your phone. The NEXT courtesy call you get simply place the funnel directly over the mouthpiece of your phone and have fun and start air horn blasting away at the a-holes bothering you at home. If everyone did this to all the peckerwoods calling us daily to solicit money there would be a lot fewer people calling us. If you use that air horn on another driver "the cranked up and about to go postal type person" just might then redirect/transfer their anger and rage towards you. In MA a nimrod was killed with a frigging crossbow bolt w/in the last decade on 495. He felt the need to show some bravado so he stopped and confronted a very angry at the whole wide world type of rage driven driver. Why he felt that need to stop is beyond me? At least twice for no good reason I have seen people go balistic on highways. In rush hour one time I was keeping up with traffic and the guy behind me was honking and going absolutely nuts for no reason. He was pounding on the wheel and cursing at me and making all kinds of gestures. He must have slipped off of his meds.. Another time while merging at 55-60 on a ramp a driver speeding and changing lanes who was also using the breakdown lane got all pissed off and made threatening gestures. I was in my 375hp Mustang at the time so I did manage to laugh at him looking so stupid. I did not feel the need to stop either. I was not even near his car for a close call. To answer your question I would not want to add air horns to my MB. If one ever gets followed by a crazy person a poilice officer friend of mine warns all his friends never to stop for the nut cases and to drive directly to a police station, or look for a cop driving by and honk to flag him down. Then again if you live in a State with concealed carry laws and open gun racks and you are armed and quite proficient with firearms then "air horn the peckerwoods," and then feel free to stop and have some fun should they challenge you.
