The horn doesn't work in my car.

[Wait Wut]

It's actually a curse. Out of all the cars I've owned, only two have had functional horns.

Today I wish it worked. Not because of the usual 'get the fuck out of my way' reason. But, because as I was sitting at the intersection that led up to where the fire is burning, two 'Wildfire Response Team' trucks drove by. I wanted to let them know I saw them, I cared, and I appreciated the risks they were taking.

Firefighters and Hot Shots fucking rule.

1. Then stay out of New York City.

A working horn, and testing it from time to time, is mandatory.

[Wait Wut]

2. I'm from Chicago.

I'm the 'anti-road rage' warrior.

But, Chicago has much better drivers than NY City.

[AnotherMcIntosh]

3. Ah, then you don't really need a horn.

Just keep you head down in some neighborhoods.

[Wait Wut]

5. I live in Arizona, now.

I need a bullet proof vest just to walk down the street. Every old guy, wannabe cowboy, etc. has a gun that they don't know how to handle. A horn here would be a mistake. I'd have 23 Barney Fife's shooting in my general direction.

[Wounded Bear]

13. You wish....

Barney only had one bullet.

[ConcernedCanuk]

16. but Barney (Fife) could never find that bullet

.

or ever get his pistol out quick enough to be dangerous to anyone.

good old show that!

4. I rarely use my horn, I guess it works

I certainly would not honk at an emergency vehicle, unless my horn said "thank you".

[Wait Wut]

7. Just a couple of taps.

I wouldn't lay on it and try to scare the crap out of them. Though with what they've been going through, I doubt a car horn is going to make them jump.

6. When I was a kid, a car my parents had

would honk every time dad made a left hand turn. He would just wave to whoever was closest to him. Embarrassed the heck outta mom. He didnt get it fixed for like 6 months!

[Wait Wut]

8. LOL!

That's awesome. Everyone in town probably thought your dad was the nicest guy there!

[bluedigger]

9. I don't think I've ever used my horn on my Jeep.

I wonder what it sounds like...

[ConcernedCanuk]

10. Guess you're not meant to be a horny person!

11. That's very unlikely.

15. Somehow, your response does not surprise me

17. *yawn* ... Hey CC

[img][/img] [img][/img]
I was up late last night taking pictures of the moon.

How are you this beautiful summer morning.

[ConcernedCanuk]

20. Had one of my best friends visit last evening

.
.
.

sorta OD'd on

and the weather, although mild - it's overcast and the bugs are ferocious - that's why I'm in here instead of outside.

and the only moon I've seen for awhile is in my mirror

You'll figure it out . . .

21. I can imagine what you were looking at.

It's going to be hot today (even hotter tomorrow) so I'm taking advantage of the cooler hours inside. It'll be brutal inside later this afternoon. Even with the fan going full blast my bedroom is too damn hot.

[ConcernedCanuk]

22. I suppose you can

.

Shoulda taken a back shot of my profile pic!

[Wait Wut]

25. Well, not with the old people...

...driving around town, anyway.

[AsahinaKimi]

12. It really depends on the KIND OF HORN you have..

[ConcernedCanuk]

18. Volkswagen "Thing"

.
.

Owned one for a short time when I lived in San Diego over 30 years ago

looked like this



no, that's not the actual one I owned,

but same color and everything

except

take a good look at the licence plate (again, not mine)

[Wait Wut]

24. That would be awesome!

As it is, no one sees my BRIGHT TURQUOISE car. Maybe that would help. They apparently frown on people putting lights and sirens on cars.

14. "Horn broken. Watch for finger."

- old bumper sticker

[ConcernedCanuk]

19. My horn works, rarely use it

.
.

finger?

yup

[Wait Wut]

26. I'm too friggin' nice.

I will have intense conversations with other drivers that only I hear, though.

It makes me feel better and doesn't make old people cry.

[csziggy]

23. Better it not work than be ridiculous

I had a Ford F-250 diesel truck - extended cab, full size bed, black. A real bad ass truck - until you blew the horn.

It went [font size="0"]"bleet"[/font]. It was an embarrassment. Besides it bleeted so softly no one could hear it twenty feet away.

I've always wanted to buy an add on horn that sounded like either a train or a semi air horn.
[font size="6"]HOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNKKKKKK[/font]

Loud enough to BLOW offenders out of my path!

[Wait Wut]

27. Sounds like the husband's van.

It sounds like a VW bug.

My ex-bf had an old Ambassador when I was in HS. It sounded like a ship horn (have no idea what you call those). Oh, and it was unintentional which made it even cooler. It would scare the hell outta people walking down the street.
