AgreedBeing obnoxious can certainly result in louder noises.

No winners there. I'm dealt with the aftermath of shooting someone who needed shooting, it's a lot more stressful than someone being stupid in traffic. I'd too tired to deal with people's stupidity and would rather just let some retard in traffic go on their way being ******** then "teach them a lesson" or otherwise engage. You do you, just something to consider before becoming a self appointed driving instructor via loud noises.
Agreed
In my area there's an indoctrination with some of the thugs running the streets here where if you flash your lights at them when they are driving at night without their lights on (as a curtesy to make them aware they don't have them on) or you honk at them for driving slow/stupid/etc around you...you become their immediate shooting target. I can't even remember the last time I honked at someone tbh. I just need my horn to work for the car alarm nowadays.
Urban legend for headlights, gotcha. Either way I tend to lean towards not being the spark to idiots and short fuses edging for an excuse to do bad things towards me and mine.The headlight thing has been around as an urban legend for nearly 40 years. I've been a beat cop in a very violent area, detective in Homicide & Robbery, and currently a supervisor in the same. We easily get into the triple digits on homicides each year. I know of zero instances were that's been real, nor a murder of a random as a initiation at all. Targeted, yes, as in 'that guy owes us money' or 'that guy made a diss rap video about us', but not just randomly select someone to murder. For a lot of reasons, but probably deeper in the weeds than we need to go.
But honking, yeah, for sure has resulted in inbound bullets. Not because of gangs, because of a large number of a-sholes with guns, poor conflict resolution skills, and ego/anger issues which may (or may not) be amped up with the recreational pharmaceutical of the day. Too many young guys wound way too effin' tight and no idea how to deal with it.
Just a wild guess, you live in a town run by demoncrats?Urban legend for headlights, gotcha. Either way I tend to lean towards not being the spark to idiots and short fuses edging for an excuse to do bad things towards me and mine.
Realizing there are a lot of cities with crime issues and many seem to be on the rise from what I've seen, I just know what's around me here daily - Memphis (when it gets reported/tracked - which isn't 100%). Tired of showing up on all the "Worst 10 or 12 cities" according to FBI data, this groups data, etc for "nearly" (trying to be nice) the entire last 20 years. Larger different discussion for sure.

Just shake one of these at them: https://www.harborfreight.com/steel-cowbell-97659.htmlIdeally if I could just tap into the horn wiring and add another horn (without causing a fuse draw problem) I would love to do that. There certainly times when I would like to blow away some of these idiot drivers. No, i dont want to go the air horn route - just go louder!
One big caution. I had air horn installed on a GMC yukon. It was tied into the horn. Had nothing but electrical problems with alarm system going off. Dealer said this was installer issue and would not fix. Installer said it was a warranty problem.Ideally if I could just tap into the horn wiring and add another horn (without causing a fuse draw problem) I would love to do that.

I put an oga horn on many of the vehicles I have owned. It now is in our 19 RAM limited. I have a horn button down by the drivers knee on the center . Its a funny way to say lets get moving or HiIdeally if I could just tap into the horn wiring and add another horn (without causing a fuse draw problem) I would love to do that.

The pyramid is actually a cool setup and usage for that building tbh, especially compared to it's previous use. Bad acoustics during concerts, sat for a number of years before revamped to Bass Pro Shop, etc. Has tallest free standing elevator in it too, which is worth a trip up in it if you stop and visit it. Live alligators and of coarse the large fish tank full of freshwater fish.The wife and I went to Memphis one time....she was dead set on staying at that pyramid place that bass pro acquired from the basketball team I guess...that place was nice but I could tell about the area getting there it was doody.
