  • *Meep-Meepmeep-Meep!*

    This isn't sucky, just amusing.

    Brought my car to the Meineke I always go to for some muffler work; they do good work on older vehicles.

    Near the end of my wait I start hearing *Meep! Meepmeep! Meepmeep meep meep!* A pathetic mewling of a car horn.

    Then another string of *Meep meep!*

    And some more *Meep!*

    I had installed a new horn in my car a year ago that started out 137decibles, but had begun dying. I realized it sounded bad inside the car, but never knew what it sounded like to OTHER people!

    I went to the desk guy and asked what was up with the horn. He was laughing and said that it was the weirdest sounding horn they'd ever heard so all the mechanics were taking turns trying it!

    Well, I've picked-up one of THESE to install. They'll get a surprise next time they work on my car! So will any jerk driving in front of me too!

    They were acting like 12-year-old boys. I can just picture 'em all crowded around the car, trying to get turns.

          I'm remembering Fat Freddy Freakowtski filling the entire front trunk with speakers + a 1000W amplifier + an 8-track recording of a semi load of live hogs locking up its brakes at 80 MPH...

          After half an hour waiting for the street dancers caroling "Here come da man with da horn dat go meep-meep!" to clear the crosswalk.

            The sad thing is, that's almost EXACTLY what my horn sounds like!

              I do believe the sound was "bleat bleat."

                    No, dalesys was referring to one of The Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers. Specifically this guy:

                      Before you head off, try mounting one of the horns on the inside and see if they'll be tempted to relive old memories. On the other hand, this may incite upholstery cleaning bills..
