Obviously my Suburban is rendered invisible when in motion
 
1 Attachment(s)
I have come to the conclusion that my gray 2001 Suburban becomes invisible at anything over 25 mph. I had another vehicle pull out in front of me tonight and when I blasted the horn, it sounded weak.

This time it happened to be a Subaru Forrester and my Suburban has a 2 to 1 weight advantage. I guess mr numb nuts missed the physics class that day :slap:

I just ordered a set of Hella horns for the Suburban. 114 Db should be a good upgrade for 16 year old horns. I conferred with my mechanic and he said they will pass PA inspection :seasix:

At least now I will get their attention :D

People driving down the freeway blowing those scaring people need to be kicked in the nuts. :nutkick:

I did consider those with it's own "special button" but will stay legal.

OH HELL YEAH! :funnier: :funnier: :funnier:

And get one with a remote; park it at an Antifa rally, and sound it off when there is a good crowd of them around. Watch them scatter like roaches! :funnier:

I'd go with the classic, but then, I'm in Tejas.

Nice. Just curious here if they are extremely loud.

Since it is GM - replace those burned out running lights

Otherwise run with you headlights on full time. That is what I started doing. Had a silver car for a time and cant recall how many times poeple pulled out in front of me either.

I have one of these on my bike. It seems like nobody ever sees you on a motorcycle, and the stock horns suck. I've had to use it many times, and it really works to get their attention!

I don't think it has anything to do with lights. I think it's something to do with the perception that a large vehicle must be going slow.

My dually is lit up like a f'n Christmas Tree and people pull out in front of me more than any vehicle I have ever owned. It is a weekly occurrence (happened on the way to work today actually) that someone pulls out in front of me to the point that I am standing on brakes in order to avoid grease stains on my grille.

Add the trailer... even more people pull out in front. :slap:

Back when I was a young lad and my name was 454_71Stingray, I had a yellow 71. I swear if I had a dollar for every time someone pulled out in front of me Id have a yellow '17 also. Its a YELLOW car WTF people? I feel your pain but at least you dont live in Myrtle Beach. between the gray-hairs and the tourists I just quit driving it in the summer.
