Here we are in the Veracruz. The guy up front in his Celica doesn't realize the light turned green.
We're patient... waiting at least 3 full seconds before laying on the horn to get his attention. The driver waves his hand and accelerates away from the light.
Man, that feels good. Glad we fixed the horn in this thing.

Huh, when I honk at people for not going at green lights after three seconds they gesticulate with their hand, but it isn't a friendly wave.

Veracruz looks stunning from that angle! You guys do take some really good pictures of your LT fleet!

I suppose if you're going to have two posts about the horn not working, you need two post about it working.

Maybe he was confused as to what exactly was in his rear view mirror: front end of an SUV, or a proboscis monkey???

See, the horn isn't a safety feature. It's a way to tell people you are pissed off at them.

They're not pissed off. They're just saying, "hey man, I love you. I love you even more if you put some pressure on your accelerator. Thank you."
See, it's the horn of goodwill. No such "pissed off" thing.

This happened to me this morning. I hate when people are eating a bagel in the car and not watching the traffic lights.

My truck is straightpiped, and when people take too long, I simply drop it in neutral rev my engine.
Scares the piss outta people on the sidewalk, AND makes the person ahead of you go...very quicky I might add.
