Nah, I got a cute little horn that's fine for alerting a pedestrian in
town, but totally inaudible on the highway.
On the other hand, I don't want to shake the car apart. I don't need a
truck horn. Nor do I want some silly thing that plays "Nearer my god to
thee" every time you honk it. I just want something loud enough to warn
some SUV at 80 miles per hour that I'm to his left in case he decides to go
through with his left-hand lane change.
