What?! The horn on the Veracruz is still busted? (Oh, the part has been ordered from the dealer and it will be here soon. Any day now
...) I discovered the broken horn during last evening's commute as I tried to alert a fellow motorist of my presence when he to tried to occupy the same parcel of Interstate 10 that I currently inhabited. I pounded the center of the wheel and - Crap! - got nothing. In non-confrontational Japan the horn is used to say Hello!, Goodbye!, and Thank you! The auto horn is never used in an aggressive manner, or as a punitive measure. This isn't Japan.

Snake Doc,
Dude, I meant to say that people perceive that drivers in Japan are more courteous than drivers here. Japanese drivers are also quite aggressive, if you see Tokyo drivers!!. That's what I meant to say.
Relax dude, I didn't mean to say what you thought I meant. Words do get jumbled up in my case!!
Have a happy 4th!

South Korea: August 15th, 1945, freed from the reign of Japan!
Japan: They came, they conquered, they enslaved the entire Eastern Asia. Independence day? From whom?
