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.

Ugly can be fixed.....

but I'm beginning to wonder if bad drivers can ever be "fixed".

I met a fellow MB driver this past weekend that swears by them. Also have considered them for mine.

After watching some of the videos on Hornblasters I can just imagine myself driving down the bad neighborhoods in Houston,Tx and blasteing my horn at pedestrians.

The sceen where its night and they are in front of some restaurant/bar and hit the horn is so funny. Some of the people laugh and some get mad.
