They should just remove car horns. Half the time you can't even figure out who is honking at who anyway.

GO ahead and take my horn. I'll get this:

We really couldn't share the road. I don't use signals all the time - if i am in a turn only lane you can figure it out yourself - and I seriously hate people who honk. I have slowed to a near crawl once when a lady was rushing through and honking like she owned the road. What was funny is once i started driving again she sped around in front of me, and slowed down to a near crawl, which didn't bother me but I found hilarious as she was now slowing herself down.

I never honk out of impatience or trying to get through traffic quicker. I only do it when someone pulls a jackass move in front of me. Cut me off, you're getting at least 10 seconds of horn. Swerve all over the road without signaling...horn. Don't see me because you're on your phone. They're going to hear my horn on the other end. :D

I've always wanted to "upgrade" to one of those air horns in the JC Whitney catalog. I've always had my eye on the "ocean liner" horn. That will get their attention.

Speaking of DMV. Why is the Department of Motor Vehicles called DMV all over the country...except in Maryland where it's the MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration)?

In Michigan it's called the Secretary of State

I feel you. I'm from Landover near Seat Pleasant but let me be out of the state or the country and someone askes where I'm from, DC just rolls off the tongue. Then I can clarify with I'm not in DC but I live in such and such. Or I'll always use DC as the base point. That's just how it is. The reason I don't say Maryland is because people always assume that I'm from Baltimore, to which I always reply by pointing to my wife and saying, "She is, I'm not."

yeah if someone asks where I'm from I just say DC.. I've lived there and they don't know particular cities in VA

sometimes I just say DC area

Buying something only to have it become obsolete within minutes...

Ie, a Miami Dolphins jersey... and within the week your cousin shreds his ankle and is released. Dagger.

Yeah.. my Hall Davis jersey is obsolete now!

Right ! WTF ?

I mean if you want a baseball, football, basketball, or soccer ball to go through your window. I've always wanted to break a window. But I mean seriously what is it with making your car look like it's been f'd up ?

If you want it loud it has to be an air horn those electric ones are not very loud. Here these will get the people out of your way. They maned one "wake the dead" and it should at $1400.

Now all we need is fake flapping tire treads to go along with the fake arm hanging out of the trunk

Wow.

I always loved the idea of getting behind someone and blowing an ocean liner horn..."WHAT WAS THAT!?!?!"
