Do you have one of those electronic 'horns' on your pickup truck? http://www.wolo-mfg.com/spec.htm Wolo makes a lot of interesting toys. ;-) I like the freight train and ocean liner horns. :) Of course it would be simple to use a small amp and PA horn with a MP3 player to make your own. -- Anyone wanting to run for any political office in the US should have to have a DD214, and a honorable discharge.

I had the air horn on my Renault Dauphine... a car so small most people ignored it... until I hit the horn :-) My pick-em-up truck has only its conventional horn. Likewise the Q45, though it's rarely used... closing on someone really fast usually results in them moving over automatically :-) Otherwise I flash the headlamps. ...Jim Thompson -- | James E.Thompson, CTO | mens | | Analog Innovations, Inc. | et | | Analog/Mixed-Signal ASIC's and Discrete Systems | manus | | Phoenix, Arizona 85048 Skype: Contacts Only | | | Voice:(480)460-2350 Fax: Available upon request | Brass Rat | | E-mail Icon at http://www.analog-innovations.com | 1962 | The only thing bipartisan in this country is hypocrisy

The neighbor on the other side had her arrested. FWIG, the cops and the judge didn't see the humor; disturbing the peace, modification of automobile safety systems... I don't know what the final total was. >My pick-em-up truck has only its conventional horn.

I see that as a courtesy, but to some it's an invitation for road rage.
