I've never had any reason to complain about my stock horn before... sure, it sounds a bit wimpy, but a short tap was always enough to alert anyone who was about to switch into my lane that "hey, I'm here!" Until yesterday, that is. I'm in the right lane, doing a few MPH faster then a lexus-luxo-barge in the left. I'm nearly even with the front door when it starts drifting into my lane. I lean on the horn, and there is absolutely no response from this oblivious lady talking on ther cell phone. You remember those old Infiniti commercials where the guy opens and shuts the car door, and the music from the sound system cuts in and out, ie, "our cars have such great sound insulation!" Yeah, screw you and your sound insulation. Throttle to the stops, vroom vroom, out of danger... I just put in my order for a Nautilus. Lets see you ignore me now, lady. You're gonna overcorrect so fast you're gonna go flying across both oncoming lanes and into the train tracks. :thumbsup:
However, there is one thing I'm sort of worried about... the horn button on my '04 is very easy to press. I've hit it a few times accidently while trying to get my blinker or something, and it really doesn't take much pressure to depress it. Not a big deal with the stock horn, just maybe a bit embarrassing if I do it in a parking lot or something. Accidently hitting the Stebel would probably be really embarrassing. Has anyone else has this problem, and is it possible to do anything about it... increase the necessary force to trigger the horn, or something? Thanks,
