Tired of not being heard....

So I bought a horn and put it in today.

Not the most annoying, but definitely more likely to be heard.

I'm assuming that's the name of the horn and not a horn from a Blazer. If it were from a Blazer, boy, have they wimped out that ride! For a Miata, it suits it fine....

Not from a blazer, no, just the brand name.

I scared a big suv today with it enough to where they moved quick. I was going straight, they were coming from my right making a left to be on the same road I was on (to be going to opposite way). They got half way out, then heard the horn and realized oh, there is a little car there.....

Do you ever find, Cate, that people try to intimidate you with lane changes and stuff because your Miata is smaller than most cars?

Just curious to know your perspective. Around here you drive in a small car like my sister's Civic and big SUV and truck drivers will intentionally make lane changes where they see you/make eye contact with you, but still move over enough to drive by braille hitting the Botts dots trying to intimidate you into braking. Get pretty sick of it here. Amazing how when my sister gets into her Nissan Armada that crap never happens.

Attitude on the road.
