You know you're getting old when...


 
A buddy of mine wanted to get a screaming glass shattering crash on a loop and pump that out when someone did something stupid. I kind of like the idea!

Boy, I remember back in the days of the "double nickel" needed CBs, radar detectors a "lookout" with binocs if you wanted to break the 60 mark. Now? We're back at 70, no one pays attention and you can blow by a trooper doing 85-90 and they don't even look at you.

'Cept in South Georgia. If you're on I-95 anywhere from Mile Marker 10 and the Fla. line, you are in the prime territory of of the Kingland Police Dept. This little town, about as big a Mayberry, with their fair share of Barney Fifes. Apparently there's not enough going on in town so they feel like they need to replace the Georgia State Police. (Ask me how I know . . . )

On the ever so slightly legal side, I'm probably going to put a 140db or so horn on the Civic next spring. I'm getting tired of people trying to change lanes through me.

A few decades ago, my commuter car was a 1978 white Honda Civic 1200, a little roller skate of a car. I was very often cut off because people just didn't see the thing. I did find a cheap little dual-note air horn that came with a little compressor, that I mounted under the hood. I got cut off a lot less after I started using that. Just a tip, if you do get air horns, point the trumpets straight down so that water will drain out in humid/rainy weather. Otherwise, they may sound like a drowning duck rather than a nice loud air horn under such conditions.
