[s-cars] Speaking of horns

[Bruce Mendel]

If aimed properly (they're fairly directional), they work really well. Nice
part about the directionality is that when inside the car blowing the horn,
they don't seem all that loud. But outside the car, in their field of fire,
they are very loud and annoying. They shriek.

Be advised there are two part #'s for the Hella red metal disc horns, one
made in Germany at 118db, and one made in Asia at 113db. They look
identical. I'm sorry, but memory escapes me on the part #s as to which is
which.

Of course, should you want to raise the dead when blowing the horn, try
these locomotive horns on for size:

Hell, even their home page is annoyingly loud!

I had a set of them once in a 1996 Land Cruiser, and got a summons when
blowing them in town as someone tried pulling out of a parking space and was
about to cut me off.

They stopped dead, and the look on their face was priceless.

However, cop sitting nearby told me, as he was writing me up for an "illegal
modification" ticket, "If your horn makes me have to change my underwear,
you're getting a summons." Hard to argue with that logic. :)
