heh yeah in this case happy like it's been snorting helium and is about to pass out... very very wimpy horn... on my list of things to replace...

if our horn could talk, it would sound like
scuse me.. oh um sorry but hello, scuse me

I on the other hand want a horn that sounds more like

HEY!! YOU!! Yeah YOU! MORON ON THE CELL PHONE, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING, HANG THE @#$%^(*& UP AND DRIVE YA DIPSTICK!

One of my friends put on a Volvo horn. That one is loud, very loud. I still dream about a proper airhorn with a big compressor, just too heavy I think.

I wish there was a rear horn for people who tailgate lol.
I've always dreamed of putting in a switch so I can turn my reverse lights on whenever. That'd get a tailgater's attention! :p

Put your parking lights on when they tailgate during the day ... make it look like your brakes lights are going on. They will slow down then :2thumbsup:
