"Targeted Car Horn"

haa haa this if funny shit:

Ever been two or three cars back from a light that turns green, but the guy two cars ahead of you is daydreaming? But you just KNOW that if you honk your horn the guy in front of you is going to think you're beeping at HIM, and he'll think you're a jerk because there's obviously nowhere HE can go.
Enter the Targeted Car Horn. Using a crosshair gun sight and the latest accoustical engineering, this horn will allow you to honk at the guy causing the problem without making the guy in between think you're an idiot. Simply place the crosshair sight over the car you want to honk at in the H.U.D. (the H.U.D. will show a view from a camera above the car so you can target several cars ahead without going "through" the intervening cars), press the trigger, and the Targeted Car Horn will send a rousing HONK where it's needed, while remaining nearly inaudible to the guy caught in the middle.

I changed my horns on my Gen3. Basically I just went to Canadian Tire and bought a "Freeway Blaster" horn. Now I sound like a Buick Roadmaster.

Only $24.99 Cdn.

You can put in some air horns but the compressors usually die after awhile.

Get a pair of Hella Supertone. They are pretty loud.

Hella SuperTone Link.

i have those Hella Horns also:

I agree with the horn swap, i think the stock gen 3 horn sounds too nice. Seriously too nice, instead of "get the #$@% out of my way" it says "please, excuse me for wanting to go faster."

horn tone is important! I want a big semi truck compressor horn, you know, shatter that a$$holes back windshield when he cuts you off!

Has anyone ever mounted one on the back? I don't know where you would put it, but it sure would be nice to just blast one in tailgaters faces.

DrtySthV6SE · 03-12-2003, 10:17 PM

yall just gave me a great idea. My dad has like a 12" air horn in the shop which is mucho loud, i think i might add another mod to my car

FRITO · 03-12-2003, 10:33 PM

i would like to switch the horn on my gen 2. it sounds like a kids scooter......lmao

it says "please move so i can go on...i sound like an pansy, thank-you"

I pulled some stock Bosch horns off an old 88 E-class Benz from the Junk yard for free and they sound way tougher than the stock BS horns.

Deep · 03-16-2003, 03:19 PM
