What do you think about a car having 2 different 'honks'.
1. A 'calm' honk to be used to remind people that the light is green and they should go (after a few seconds of idling), or to notify a car that you are approaching so do not back out of the driveway...
2. The 'regular' honk to be used to 'scream' at another car that they are about to hit you, or to be used, as some people do, when they are drastically cut-off.
Mark brought this idea to my attention a few weeks ago and I, for some strange reason, cannot for the life of me get it out of my head. I personnally don't think it is a great idea. I actually already think there is an overusage of the honk...in Toronto.
Post a comment and tell me what you think.

I only need my one honker- angry and more angry. I happily toot it when I'm happy, and lay on it when I'm not. But it isn't a bad idea in essence. Tell Mark that Kenny only made it ten minutes into Spinal Tap before he huffed and puffed about what a stupid movie it was...so I turned it off. It should only be savoured with like-minded folk.
I'd rather have that big cane like they used on the Gong Show. When there is a slow or bad driver in front, I can move them out of the way. :)
Suzy, I don;t see you ever using the honker. The Rover did it to you...damn thsoe SUV's...
Daforde, can't believe you went old skool.
Old skool is back baby, you watch Google8trax.com will be their next product.

I actually still have some of those chunky things. Damn, I have to check eBay to see if they go for anything.
Great idea on the surface. But people would probably just press both horns at once for twice the annoyance power.
Well, maybe there can be some sort of mechanism that only allows you to press one honk at a time?
I agree, double the honking power would be really annoying.
What if you're really really pissed off, but it's a sweet little old lady. Then the crossroads rise up to meet you.
If you're old and in the left lane you're FAIR GAME for the 'Gong Show Cane' or as Ludacris says "Move B....."...
Alright Ms T -> get ready for tomorrow's topic and rant :)
Long live old Skool
