Hahaha... That being said, my wife is pretty awesome. I don't regret that decision though it definitely makes other decisions more complicated.

Chris! Didja take any pics?

No pics as of yet...spent tonight getting the horn hooked back up so I can pass inspection tomorrow. I'll be disconnecting it as soon as the inspection goes through too...I hate horns personally!!

If anything you should be modding it to have train horns. Aint no body can see us.

Oh man... Yeah I never got to fixing that but I would definitely keep it, it would have come in handy for sure. Sometimes I would just rev the engine but that takes a lot longer than beep beep.

People have been able to see me just fine in this miata, as well as my NA. Throwing louder horns on a car will only create a distraction. Its a matter of personal opinion really. From my experience, horns simply distract good drivers from what they are doing and I've seen several accidents occur because of them looking around for the vehicle making the noise. Instead I choose to drive in such a way that I put myself at minimal risk in general.

How many good drivers do you drive around? I drive around none. The horn is there for mommy driver her triple door sealed lexus suv on her cell phone yelling at the 4 kids in the back that are watching TV at max volume.

birdzofprey 05-14-2013 11:28 AM

and all honking at that woman will do is piss her off...instead you could simply be aware of her and move around.

Leafy 05-14-2013 11:29 AM

Its hard to move around her when she's merging on top of you and about to squash you into the jersey barrier.

Seriously the first mod I did was a Wolo air horn after I almost got plastered several times on the highway. People would not even flinch while cutting me off with the stock horn blaring (well whining is more like it).

two objects cannot occupy the same space. true story.

I would have just let off the gas and let her merge in front then. Granted driving styles of people are different from state to state and in Texas we mostly have nice, friendly drivers. I'm not telling you to disconnect your horn or not use it, I'm just saying I never do. Not to mention, this car is rather loud to begin with.

Leafy 05-14-2013 11:54 AM

Let off the gas? She coming in that lane and she's cumming now! And you're being tail gated by the guy behind you for only doing 85 in the left lane.

I dunno... to each their own I guess, but I think there's a reason a horn is required to pass inspection. In Michigan they didn't inspect so I didn't fix, but it was on the list. I had people move in to my lane and I had to swerve to miss. Thankfully I was following safe driving protocol and not driving next to someone so I had room to swerve, but sometimes traffic is so heavy that is not the case. Typically I find that if someone is changing lanes and they hear a horn, they know it's likely coming from the lane they're changing into.

I honk on average at least twice a day. Accidents caused: 0. Accidents prevented: more than 0. Douchebag made go on green: countless.
